WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Sus-
picion is rapidly growing in govern
ment circles that new and gigantic
coal trust is i'm operation. It be-
came known today the the interstate
commerce commission has set its
experts To investigating the matter.
The new trust is alleged TO be
catering largely to railroad interests
and embraces certain other rail sup
plies besides coal. Testimony OF
railroad presidents before the COM
mission and before the Newlands'
committee TO date has developed
that during the last year coal pro-
ductiOn has been unusually large
and that notwithstanding this prices
have been increased.
Arguments by shippers against
the proposed general increase of Is
per cent i'm freight rates are ex-
pected 10 further develop evidence Of
a conspiracy. Figures have been sub
mitted 10 officials which show the
wide range of price increases, rang
