ALLEGE LEH|CH
is A MONOPOLY
Dissolution Of Railroad Com
pany Is Asked

A suit to break the Lehigh Valley
railroads alleged anthracite coal mo-
nopoly was begun by the government
in the United States district court in
New York
In a petition filed by Frederic r.
Coudert, special assistant attorney
general, the Lehigh, its directors and
subsidiary companies are accused OF
violating the interstate commerce act
and the Sherman law. An injunction
to prevent them from further re-
straining, monopolizing or attempting
to monopolize trade and commerce in
anthracite coal" is sought, and the
government also asks that the rail
road be enjoined from carrying coal ir
which it has an interest.
More than a dozen other corpora
tions and individuals were named as
co-defendants and parties to con-
spiracy to monopolize that trade.
Although suit was brought to break
up an alleged monopoly, the attorney
general charges that the Lehigh road,
through the formation of a coal sales
company two years ago, has escaped
the supreme court decision under the
commodities clause of the interstate
rate act, which forbids the railroad to
transport coal belonging to a corpora.
tion whose stock it owns and whose
affairs have been "commingled with
its own"
The further charge was made that
the Lehigh had violated the provision
of the Pennsylvania constitution pro
hibting common carriers from engag.
ing in mining or other business other
than transportation. The usual injunc-
tion and decree OF dissolution were
asked.
Furthermore, the bill declares,
through it's alleged monopoly of the
sale of coal produced along its line,
the road Completely dominates the
market at all points thereon not
reached by any other railroad, and
has the power to fix, has fixed and
does fix. without the check of com
petition, the prices at which anthracite
is sold at such points"
The bill points out that the Lehigh
annually transports about 100000
gross tons of anthracite. OF that total,
the government maintains, more than
SO per cent lin 1879 was shipped
for the account of the Lehigh Coal
company or affiliated companies.
The relations between the railroad
and the Lehigh Coal company are set
forth at length in the complaint, which
declares that the latter has never been
a "bona fide corporation" but a
"mere adjunct, department or instru-
mentality OF the Lehigh railroad"

FEDERALS ARE
FORCED BACK
General villa and His Army
Gradually Approach TOTTeOn
ADVANCE GUARD IN SUBURBS

Mexican Rebels Have Not as Yet En-
countered Real Stubborn Opposition
Villa Repairs Railroad on His Trip
The rebel army of 10000 under com
mand of Pancho Villa is gradually
forcing back the federal defenders OF
Torreon, Mex.
This morning Villas advance guard
of the main army had possession OF
Birmingham, manufacturing town six
miles from Gomez Palacio, one of Tor.
reon's suburbs.
The advance guard of the east wing,
according to latest advices, is very
close to the eastern suburb of Torreon.
All of Villas troops advanced but
the forward movement was slow, rs
the commander-in-chief is none too
anxious to take his men ahead faster
than he can repair the railroad to
supply them with water and food.
General Benavides, latest com
mander of the garrison at Juarez, who
commanded the advance guard of the
rebels that entered Bermejillo, where
Villa made headquarters Saturday
night, took a southeasterly course to
join MacloviO Herreras command east
of Torreon and almost cut the railroad
between Torreon and Saltillo and Mon.
clova.
They hoped by this to prevent re
treat of the federals to either of these
towns in the event of rebel success at
Torreon, meantime isolating Saltillo
and MonclOva to give the rebel bands
in that section a chance to make an
other effort to capture the two places
The rebels all but took Monclova a
week ago, but were driven out by the
arrival of federal reinforcements from
Torreon.
After driving out the rebels the fed
erals hastened back to Torreon and
the Monclova and Saltillo garrisons
of federals are now comparatively
small.
Villa was advised that Tomas Cur
bina, his commander to whom he had
entrusted the attack on TorreOn from
the direction of Mapimi, is i'll in that
town, either from fever or wounds.
The rebels in Juarez had received no
advices from Villa relative to the fight
ing. The only thing that came to the
rebel officials was a message from Chi
huahua confirming advices from Villa
that Bermejillo had been captured
The message from Chihuahua said or
12 of the federals were killed instead
Of 1O6 as wired by Villa.

burg District Lost Every Year.
The mills and factories, railroads
and steamboat lines, together with
thousands of homes in the Pittsburg
district could be supplied with all the
coal necessary for their use from the
fuel that is wasted annually through
out the United States during the pro-
cess of mining and handling.
The amount of gas wasted annually
would supply Pittsburg's needs and
the needs of all surrounding territory
If 1t could be conserved properly. The
unnecessary waste Of our mineral re-

day. The waste in coal is estimated
at 25O,OO0,OO0 tons annually. The
waste of gas. in dollars. aggregates
