NO COAL COMBINE
SUPREME COURT HOLDS u. s. HAS
FAILED TO PROVE TRUST.
Decision Upholds Contention Of the
Government That "65 Per Cent"
Contracts Are illegal.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Supreme
court of the United States decided
against the government Monday in its
fight to have the anthracite Goa car
rying railroads and their affiliated
coal companies declared to be in q
general combination in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law.
1t won q victory in getting the court
to hold void the 65 per cent. contracts
whereby the railroad coal compa-
MES" buy the output of independent"
mines. Justice Lnrton, in announcing
the opinion, said these contracts
were plainly in violation Of the law.
The court also held that the rail
roads had violated the law by attempt
ing to shut out Of the anthracite re-
gion a competitive road through the
control of the Temple Iron company.
As to minor combinations of rail
roads and coal companies charged to
violating the law. the court dis
the action without prejudice to
suits, because it held it not fair
to require those groups to make a
defense in an action primarily against
a general combination"
