ANTITRUST SUIT PROMISES BATTLE Outcome of Appaiachian Coal Case at Asheville May In- volve Other Industries. By the Associated Press. At Asheville, N. C. a week from today, will begin an open court contest over what perhaps is the biggest anti- | trust suit in the country, brought to | determine how far industry can com- bine in trying to settle sales problems. | The case involves Appalachian Coals. Inc. proposed as a central selling agency for 137 individual coal com- panies. Should the special three-judge Federal Court deny the the Attorney | General's application for an injuncticn against operation of Appalachian, all are of the opinion that other similar agencies will be created to handle lJum- ber, copper and other natural resources. Several States Covered. The new concern would handle the product of the Scuthern high-volatile ceal fields. That region covers Eastern ‘Tennessee and Kentucky, all of Virginia and the Williamson, Logan and Kana- wha coal fields of Southern West Vir- ginia, Appalachian Coals, Inc., represents about 70 per cent of the 100.000.000 tons produced in this regicn in 1929. The Government seeks to prevent consummation of the proposed agree- ment and contract. It contends that because of the uniform selling agency | contract a combination and conspiracy in restraint cf interstate and foreign | commerce in bitumincus coal is formed, | and by such means the defendants have combined and conspired to monopolize, | and are attempting to monopolize, a | part of the interstate commerce in bitumincus coal, in viclation of the Sherman anti-trust act. It contends, too, that there was a conspiracy to create the selling agency | that would regulate production, prices and the like. | Coal operators deny all allegations with reference to monopoly or that there is any intention whatsoever to restrain competition or production. Selling Agency Function. The defendants admit that it is ex-| pected Appalachian will act as selling | agent for operators who produce and | market about 70 per cent of the high | volatile bituminous coal. But they aver | that each coal producer in this terri- tory who does not join Appalachian will continue to sell large quantities of | coal in active, direct competition. | The defendants point out also that| the region embraced by the corporatic:l is surrounded by producing fields of Alabama, Western and Southern Ten- nessee, Western Kentucky. Illinois, In- | diana, Ohio, Northern West Virginia, | Pennsylvania, Maryland and the smoke- Jess field of Southern West Virginia, all of which sell coal to the territory to be served by Appelachian. While Appalachian Coals, Inc., offers the test case in this perticular set-up, other industries have considered forma- tion of similar selling agencies. These necessarily will lie dormant awaiting conclusion of ihe present suit. In Washington it is believed the Gov- ernment will consume about four days in presenting its case—the defendant, Appalachian Coals, Inc, perhaps a much longer time. POLLARD TO PARTICIPATE IN POSTAL CELEBRATION Governor Will Go to Post Office to | Get Mail From Williamsburg, | Ancient Virginia Capital. RICHMOND, Va,, July 25 (Special) — Gov. Pollard will go to the post cffice and get mail tomorrow from Williams- burg, the ancient capital of Virginia, | following the custom when before the | days of the mail carrier everybody went | to the post office for mail. This de- | parture from the Governor's usual routine is a part of the local celebra- | tion of the 157th anniversary of the | United States postal system. | Dressed in the costume of the period, and carrying two of the original sadde- | bags used by post riders of Colonial | days, a carrier an horseback will leave | the plant of the Williamsburg Gazette, | first Americar. newspaper to print the | news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and carry a mail | pouch to a plane on the outskirts of the town. Receiving the mail from the pony express rider, the plane will carry the pouch to Fort Lee, where it will be met by Postmaster Berkley Williams of the Richmond office, and brought here by motor truck. Thus three modes of transporting mail will be employed, starting with that of the earliest period —the days of the pony express rider. It has been remarked, however, that America's greatest carrier of mail, the | employment of which revolutionized | mail service, does not figure in this | celebration—the railroad train. | Heavy rains throughout Manchuria recently interrupted rail traffic and| communications and water znmpcm—‘ tion.
