ORGANIZATIONS SUABLE
Labor Unions May Be Prose

state Commerce.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-(By a.
P)-Deoiding the celebrated Coro-
nado coal case the supreme court
Monday held that labor organiza-
tions. although unincorporated. are
amenable 10 the Sherman antitrust
act and that under il such organiza-
tions may be prosecuted for restraint
of interstate commerce. The court
also held that labor unions are
suable
Chief Justice Taft in announcing
the decision, did not indicate any
dissent
The case which presented the
questions passed upon by the court
was an appeal by the United Mine
Workers of American, District No
81 of that organization and its Off
GERS, % local unions in that district
and their officers and 65 individuals,
SOME of the latter not members Of
any union. from n decision by the

kansas, approved by the circuit
court of appeals. holding them
guilty Of violating the Sherman anti
trust act during coal mine strikes in
Arkansas in 1914 and imposing dam
ages of $500. 600, which were trebled
under the antitrust law.
The effect of the decision Mon
day will be to set aside the damages
because of the finding that the acts
which caused the destruction of
property were not melted for the
purpose Of restraining interstate
commerce.

During the strike lawlessness pre-
vailed and property damage was
done to the Coronado and eight
other mines controlled by the Bache-
Denman Coal Co. The United Mine
Workers of America contested the
jurisdiction of the federal courts
on the ground that being an unin-
lcorporated association Of mine
workers. il was not subject to prose
cution under the Sherman antitrust
} law.
