The decision Of the Supreme Court
upholding the combine Of coal operators

to stand individually upon its own
merits. Replying to questions Of news
paper men. he said generally the De-
partment of Justice would not modify
its attitude toward enforcement Of the
antitrust laws, but would take up the
cases as they come along separately.
The Appalachian corporation was
formed by coal operators to permit more
orderly production and distribution of
their products. In a test case carried
recently to the Supreme Court the COM
bination was upheld as not violating
the antitrust laws, though the court
reserved the right to change its decision
