LACKAWANNA'S COAL
CAUSES INDICTMENT
Federal Grand Jury Charges
Railroad With FavOring
Former Subsidiary.
MAY BE FINED $4,000

The Federal Grand Jury returned an
Indictment under the Hkins amend
ment to the interstate IN law yes
terday charging the Delaware, 1acka-
wanna and Western Railroad with fail-
ing to charge the Della ware. Iackawanna
amount due under the Federal tariffs
for shipments of coal made by the coal
company over the 1ackawanna lines.
Twenty specific cases are mentioned
In the Indictment in which the railroad
failed to collect from the coal oinpan
the defnurrage which should have been
charged for delay in the shipment OF
the anthracite. caused by the holding up
Of coa barges at the Lackawanna piers
in Hoboken.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney John 4. Knox. who drew up
the Indictment, the railroad has been
discriminating in this way in favor Of
tho coa company. which is allowed TO
bring coal into the Lackawanna tcrmi-
nal n hold II at the piers until a
purchaser is secured without having
to pay any pf the demurrage charges
required by the law. This. Mr.. Knox
said. gave the coal company an advan-
tage over its rivals not only in the
reduction OF expenses but in q~uickness
OF delivery after getting an order for
coal.

ment objects were made between Octo-
Der. 1912. and October, 1914. Tn
charged demurrage amounts 10 S2sS.

poration, may be fined 100000 II found
guilty.
According to a report OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission the Della

Company was formed after the United
States supreme Court had upheld the
constitutionality of the Hepburn COM
modities clause. making 1t unlawful for
any common carrier to transport in
