Wentz, president of the National Qoal assoclation, many others of both organizations and some of the most prominent operstors in the country The miners’ officials under indict- ment number 39, the operators, re- tailers and their employes $8; the corporate defendants 9. The defend- ants reside in six states—Missouri, Illinols, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Taken as a whole the Indictments charge: First, restraint of trade; second, restraint of com- merce; third, restraint of trade and commeree; fourth, conspiracy to mo- nopolize, and fifth, monopolization. , The Indictment is estimated to con- tain 60,000 words, one paragraph of which says: “That at various joint conferences, miners and operators agreed and arranged that they were partners In the mining. production and distributiop of bitpminous coal in the should and other i ‘dlltrlhulion: that = bituminous coal should not be sold at any time for a price that did not at the tme yield a | profit to the operators; that whatever | increase of wages of miners should be agreed upon, should be added to the price of coal; that competition among operatoras should be eliminat: ed by organization among operatora and such other methods and means as would be effective therefor; . that the means of increas|ng the cost of production and the price of coal was by closing down and keeping idle the coal mines.”” The indictment also attacks the fa- mous “check-off” Qstem of paying umion dues of miners by which the operators virtually act as a collecting agency of the union by withholding part of the miners’ wages and paying this to the union.

This diversion, in part, is alleged to have affected contract deliveries, caused immediate pur- chases at higher prices, and drove consumers into distant markets and so disturbed conditions that local shortages were created and industries forced to suspend work.
