BEFORE COURT MAY 3

and the Provocation Of Miners
Strikes BY Operators is Charged
BY Grand Jury.

acknowledgements between
coal operators and miners in six states
to force high prices for soft coal by
restricting production was charged by
a Federal grand jury indictment re-
turned in court here. Two hundred
and twenty-six defendants, including
1877 operators and miners and 80 op-
orators associations or companies,
were accused Of conspiracy to violate
the Sherman antitrust law. The de-
PENDANTS live in Missouri, Illinois, In
diana, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsyl-
yania.
$4,000 Bonds Fixed.
Judge A. B. Anderson set May 3 for
arrangement, and in issuing capiases
for arrest Of the defendants he fixed
the bond of each at $4,000. Names Of
all defendants, except twelve, were
made public.
The five counts in the indictment
charge:
Restraint Of trade.
Restraint Of commerce.
Restraint Of trade and
Conspiracy to monopolize.
Monopolizing.
Prominent operators, including
Thomas T. Brewster, Edward C..
Searls, Jackson Dering, Phil Penna
and William X. Kavanaugh, and high
officials of the United Mine Workers
anion, including it's president, John l..
Lewis, and secretary, William Green,
were among the defendants. The Ma
tionaf Coal association was among the
corporate defendants.
The charge is made by the indict-
ment that at various joint confer
ences. the miners and operators agreed
to be partners in mining and distrib-
uting coal. and that they would aid n
another in plans to increase wages,
increase prices. create a shortage and
otherwise limit production and dis
fribution.
Fictitious Prices Alleged.
Creation Of fictitious market prices
IL the provocat;on of miners strikes
by operators was charged.
Most of the persons indicted as in
dividuals in the new bill were among
those named as defendants in the in
dictment returned some time ago
charging violation of the Lever food
and fuel control act by an alleged
conspiracy to curtail production and
force high prices.
During the three year period covered
in the indictment, a detailed history
is given by methods of which it is
charged the operators and miners
worked together to restrict the pro-
duction and distribution of bitumin-
Gus coal.
Ban IN Competition Charged.
The charge is made that the agree
ments entered into between the op-
orators and miners provided that. coal
should not be sold at any time for a
price that did not yield a profit to
the operator; that increases of wages
to miners should be added to the price
of coal; that competition among op-
orators should be eliminated: that no
coal should be sold below the cost
of production. and that the means of
increasing cost and production in the
price of coal should be by closing and
keeping idle the mines.
The operators established a uniform
cost accounting system for the opera
ton of the mines, it is charged, and
by agreement employed a greater
number Of miners than was reason
ably necessary to operate the mines
properly.

THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING

While there Is no doubt that the police de-
partment Of this city is in need of a drastic
overhauiing and reorganization, care must be
taken that personal spite and enmity does not
creep in to Influence some of the changes that
may be contemplated. The people have every
confidence in Mayor Wilson and Alderman So
aeld. the chairman of the police committee.
but, after all, these men are partisans. elected
by a partisan government, and other members
Of their party are apt to try to use influences
that ought not to have any consideration what
ever in the regulation of the police force.
Already rumors are afloat and insinuations
are being made that, IL any Justification should
be found for them, would react in such a way
as TO do the city much more harm than the
good to be accomplished by the reorganization
now under way.
Because some person in power or in a position
of influence may have some personal grudse
against a man Is no reason for having that man
"broke," transferred, or his particular line of
work abolished as a means of getting him."
The people of the city are watching this re-
organization Of the police department with a
great deal of interest. There is an awful lot
az stake. Naturally 1t will be impossible to
please everybody, but there should be no
ground for any legitimate "kick."

THE pREsrpENr.ELEcr ACTS WISELY

President-elect Harding has raised himself
considerably in the estimation of the nation
by his telegram to the inaugural committee
ct Washington instructfng them to eliminate all
unnecessary display and expense. While the
$50, 900 which congress had voted for the In
auguratlon Is a very Insignificant sum when the
total expenditures of the nation are considered
and when It is realized that it Is the contribu-
ton of over 100, 100000 people for the induc-
ton into office of their chief executive. yet the
example of waste and extravagance that such a
display would set when there is so much need
there is SO much starvation and misery in all
parts of the world, was distasteful, to say the
for economy in governmental affairs and when
least, to a great majority of the people.
Besides, the elaborate preparations being
made for a great inaugural celebration at WASH
ington were being taken advantage of by hotel
men and others for another grand orgy of fleece
ing the public and prohteering.
The President-elect has put tho stamp of dis
approval on 1t all and he has acted wisely. The
new administration receives a much better start
with an Inauguration of Jeffersonian simplicity
than 1t would IL the ceremonies had been ac-
companied by a lavish display of wealth and
great expenditures entirely out of keeping with
the times.
