and replying to a brief recently filed

operators resorted ito armed force
in "their efforts to monopolize coal
production, control prices. plumber

To accomplish this the operators,

sary to own and control public Off

the criminal courts to suppress free

and to enslave those who toll for
the enrichment of the coal monopo-
lists"
