226 ARE INDICTED
 FOR CRIMINAL PACT
CContinued From Page One. )

(COnInued From Page One.)
 The indictment is estimated to con which says: That at various joint conferences. miners and operators agreed and arranged that they were partners in the mining, production and distribution bituminous coal in the several states. and that they should and would aid and assist each other in their plans and efforts to in crease prices, create shortages and Init production and distribution; that bituninous coal should NOT be sold at any time for a price that did not at the time yield a profit to the operators; that whatever increase of wages of miners should be agreed upon, should be added to the price of coal; that competition among op- orators should be eliminated by or ganiZation among operators and such other methods and means as would be effective therefor; that the means of increasing the cost of production and the price of coal was by closing down and keeping idle the coal mines.''
 The indictment also attacks the fla nous "checkof' system of paying union dues of miners by which the operators virtually act as a collect ing agency of the union by withhold ing part of the miners wages and paying this to the union.
 The 1920 coal shortage, according to the indictment was manufactured by the operators ''as a part of the general plan of conspiracy
 By refusing to contract for future deliveries except flor a price which of delivery the operators are charg- ed with having erected a spot market last year, their alleged plan being 'to create a scarcity of availa- ble coal and cause a high and ex- cessive price,"
 The operators are charged with ob- taininG priority coal shipment orders from the Interstate Commerce Com mission, which diverted twenty million tons of coal from the normal market places, mainly by shipments of West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky coal to New England and the Northwest This diversion, in part, is alleged to have affected con- tract deliveries. caused immediate purchases at higher prices, and drove consumers into distant markets and so disturbed conditions that local shortages were created and industries forced to suspend work.
 In respect to the 1920 coal sitJIa.- ton the indictment charges that 'sthere was NO shortage of available coal in the United States during that time"
 Various other acts are charged by the long indictment as a part of the conspiracy, including allegations Of fixed territorial limits for an opera tors sales, ihe promotion of strikes, the private agreements of operators to maintain uniform sales contracts, the breaking of contract deliveries, the refusal to sell direct to conSum- CTS and also to retailers who were NOT members of the retailers asso- citation, and the imitation of prices, especially by 'pretended sale and distribution' through sales agencies separate only in name from the op- erating and production companies
 The indictments were erturned last Feb. 25, after an almost continuous investigation by the government for IS months.

Her early life was spent in Brfdgepor and she was at one time identified with many of it's interests. She had been well known in musical circles and had officiated as organist at St PauPs church, East Bridgeport, a number of years. She possessed the natural gift of a teach CT and was successful in holding to- gether a large class of young men in sacred and devotional work and by them was held tin highest esteem. Her nature was warm, sympath etic and generous, endearing her most tender1y to family and friends. She was loyal and sincere in all her re- lations and being of a, bright, sunny disposition, won. the love and respect of all who came within her presence. She was brave and cheerful during her long term of illness and was never heard to utter a word of com p1aint- She has left the rich be- quest of a righteous and well ordered life.

A HEALTH TALK.

What a jolly crowd of women were at the Ladies' Day of the Atlas Turkish Baths last Friday. How they did diSport themselves in the big swimming tank, in the needle bath and in the hot and steam rooms.
 From the home, the office and the factory they came. Little groups of women, polite and well-behaDed. Ex- pert attendants and the swimming instructor comment upon the high class of women bathers in Bridge port.
 That is the reason women of Bridgeport are forming little bathin g clubs of their own, probably. It is predicted that the coming Friday when the baths are thrown open for women between the hours of 10 a. m. and D. m. the largest number ever assembled in Bridgeport will be present. Free swimming instruction is promised.
