COAL COMBINE
DECREE ISSUED

The decision OF the court was
UNANIMOUS, one OF the few times q
Ung1inous decision has been rem
,Gsrel in an antitrust case
Justices Bra-dsis and McReynoIds
tooE no part N the consideration OF
the case.
Justice Clarke announced that
Chief Justice White and Justice
Holmes, while concuring in the de-
ctston, did so because OF previous de
cisicla OF the court and not because
OF their present views.
TIE opinion Of Justice Clarke was
sweeping Indictment of the prac-
rices of the Lehigh coal combine II
declared that the combine had VIC
lated both the Sherman antitrust
law and the commodities clause OF
the interstate commerce act
Clarke declared it is clearly estzb-
upon policy of controlling the min.
coal before the antitrust law was
enacted and after it was enacted con,
tinued that policy with increasing
energy and tsnaeity of purpose with
the result that practical monopoly
existed
The railroad company sought tr
evade the antitrust act by organic
ing the Lehigh Valley Coal Sales
company after the enactment, the
court said.
This arrangement. the court de
cla-ed, violated the commodities
clause OF the interstate commerce
act as was clearly established By tbs
.LackaEanna case which was con
srrusd TO control this case.
II was because OF the I.ackaEanna
decision that Justices White and
Holmes concUrred IN the decision.
