might yet be cotton off, or that at
east her machinery might be saved.

DROP INDICTMENTS:
MINERS ARE FREED

On motion of Attorney General
Daugherty, conspiracy indictments
against 226 coal owners and officers
of the United Mine Workers have
been dismissed by Federal Judge An
derson. Mr.. Daugherty told the court
that "a verdict of not guilty would be
the inevitable result of the trial"
After this acknowledgment that he
has no case, the attorney general said:
Fair and lawful agreements must
be entered into hereafter and the
things complained of in the Indictment
in this particular case must be dis
continued"
The humor Of this statement can
be appreciated when It is recalled
that the attorney general had the in
dictments dismissed because no Jury
would support him. Now he warns
miners and coal owners they must
not enter into agreements that he
stated In open court he could not
prove Illegal.
The attorney general limited Of evil
doings between employer and en-
ploye in this industry but the public
is given no information Of what is
declared to be conspiracy" and Mr..
Daugherty intimates that he will let
this awful conspiracy" go unpun-
ished.
The attorney generals statement
sounds like the utteranees OF a man
badly in need Of excuses for his fail
ure to make good" a lot OF threats
he published several months ago. The
abandonment OF the charges will no
longer make 1t possible for a certain
element Of the coal owners to refuse
to sign an agreement with the miners
because conspiracy charges will fol-
low.

Long Discrimination Against Union
Mines by Refusal to Supply Equip
nent.

An abuse that has been consistently
practiced by number of railroads for
more than a quarter Of a century is
given what the Interstate Commerce
Commission regards as a death blow
in an order just issued by that body
compelling all carriers hereafter to
maintain a uniform and equitable dis
tribution OF coal cars.
When this order goes into effect,
on September 1, there will disappear,
1t is expected, one OF the most pro-
life of many forms OF railroad graft
ing. 1t was one of the first matters
to engage the attention OF the COM
mission after its creation and has
been made the subject of successive
restrictive orders, none of which has
so far been successful.
The order was promulgated by a
6 to 5 vote of the commission. Com
missloners Hall, Campbell, Daniels,
Potter and Cox filed dissenting opin-
ions that were vigorous and at times
vehement in opposition to the posi-
tion taken by their colleagues.
Try to Soften the Blow.
The majority opinion attempted to
soften the blow for the carriers by
declaring that the practice outlawed
is contrary to public policy. but not
in itself violative of law. With this
position Commissioner Eastman dis
sented. He concurs in the outlaw or
der but insists that car discrimination
is contrary to specific provision OF
the interstate commerce law
The effect is to make unlawful ma
nipulation Of the coal car supply to
the benefit of favored shippers. 1t
outlaws definitely the so-called "as-
signed car" and private car" devices
by which the carriers were getting
around previous orders and by which
