WASHINGTON. Juno 5.-Dec,dins
the celebrated Coronado coal case,
the supreme Court today held that
labor organizations. although unin-
corporated. are amenable to the
Sherman antitrust act, and that .un-
der it such organizations may be
prosecuted for restraint of Interstate
commerce The court also held that
labor unions are suahle. Chief Jus
,ice Taft. in announcing the decision.
did not indicate any dissent.
Comes Up ON lIinerS' Appeal
Tho case which presented the
questions passed upon by the court
was an appeal by the United Mine

twenty seven local unions in that
district and their officers and sixty
Ave individuals, some of the latter
not members OF any union. from a de-
cision by the United States District
Court of Arkansas, approved by the
Circuit Court OF Appeals, holding
them guilty Of violating the Sherman
antitrust act during coal mine
strikes in Arkansas in 1914. and I'm
posing damages OF 100000. which
Damages Are Set Aside.
The effect of the decision today-will
be to set aside tho damages. be-
cause OF the finding that the acts
which caused the destruction OF prop
erty were not melted for tho purpose

During the strike lawlessness pro-
vailed. and property damage was
done the Coronado and eight other
mines controlled by the Bache-Den-
man Coal Company. The United
Mine Workers OF America contested
tho jurisdiction OF the Federal courts
on the ground that being an unincor-
porated association OF mine workers,
it was not subject to prosecution un-
der the Sherman antitrust law.
Five Questions Involved.
Five questions were presented by
the controversy. Chief Justice Taft
said.
First. whether there had been
correct selection OF the parties to be
sued
Second. whether the parties. not be-
ing Incorporated were subject to suit.
Third. whether the United Mine
Workers OF America had been en-
gagged in conspiracy or in the de-
struction of property. for which that
organization and It's officers could be
held liable
Fourth. whether there was owl

alleged did restrain or monopolize
interstate commerce.
Fifth, whether the trial court. in

into returning the verdict. There had
been no misjoinder OF the parties un-
der the laws OF Arkansas. where tho
