WORK OF POLICE COURTS
RETARDED BY EPIDEMIC

Due to the general prevalence of in
fuenZa, the business in both branches
of Police Court is being delayed. When
Assistant District Attorney Ralph Given
went into the United States branch of
the court yesterday afternoon with in
formation against forty or more defend
ants who had demanded jury trials, the
cases having been set for hearing yes
terday, and when Clerk Frank Sebring
called the defendants, It was announced
that policemen prosecuting the cases,
and witnesses in many of the cases were
absent by reason of illness from influ-
enZa-
In some cases the defendants out on
bond failed to show up. their attorneys
asking for a continuance because of the
fact that their clients were at their
homes i'll or in hospitals. In other cases
attorneys failed to show UP, sending
word that they were confined to their
rooms with influenza. A number of po-
hcemen, major witnesses for the gov
ernment, also were absent on account
of illness, while large number of wit
nesSeS for the government and for the
defendants failed to show up when call
ed, sending as excuses for their failure
to be in court that they We're ill.
While this condition is not as strongly
in evidence in the District branch of
the court, no jury cases being scheduled
on the docket until next week. the eff
feet of illness among witnesses, attor-
neys and others in cases that are dated
back some time and set for hearings is
delaying the work of that branch of the
court. Strange to say, none of the court
officials is suffering from influenza, all
of them being on duty.

NO PUNISHMENT
FOR COAL MEN
Washington Decides to Wipe the
Slate Clean, and Profiteers in
Fuel Will not Be Prosecut-
ed, But Mustn't Continue.

The Department of Justice, the
Federal Trade Commission and the
Interstate Commerce Commiss n
have gotten together on the coal
profiteering charges and have decid-
ed to furnish the operators with one
hundred per cent. car supply and
have further agreed to wipe the slate
clean and absolve from guilt all who
have charged more than u reasona-
BILE profit in the past, with strict in
junction that profiteering must cease.
This clarifies the situation and puts
the coal operator without the pail of
suspicion. AS matter of fact there
are no operators in the Clinch Valley
field who would have been included
in the profiteering class if the order
to investigate had not been recalled
blythe Department of Justice. The
charge that profiteering has been in
dulged in by the Clinch Valley opera
tors is considered great joke by
the operators, as it is Il well known
fact that few, if any, of the coal
men in this field have ever made Il
decent profit on their investments in
all the years that the field has been
operating.
One operator is of the opinion that
coal will be reduced in price quickly
if the promise of full car supply is
carried out. He says his operation
will reduce the price of coal if full
supply Of cars can be obtained.
The general opinion that the coal
men are resting on fowery beds OF
ease is far from the facts, altho n
great many of them are making n
great deal of money. The car short
age, labor inefficiency, the United
Mine Workers threat to invade the
Independent fields and force union
ization of the miners and many other
things are constantly interfering
with the output of coal. The opera
tors, or many of them, in the Dry
Fork section, are determined to re-
sist the invasion of the United Mine
Workers at any cost. They say their
men are satisfied. they get better
wages than the union miners, living
conditions are good, and they see no
reason for surrendering their rights
and turning their plants over to the
paid hoodlums that get so much per
day for causing trouble.
