New York, June 18.—The govern- ment’s case against 64 individuals and 108 corporations indicted on a charge of conspiring to restrain trade and fix prices in semi-bituminous coal regions in Virginia and West Virginia was brought to trial in the United States court today. The defendants are being herman anti- trust Jaw. Isaac R. Oeland, addressing the jury on behalf of the governmcat, said it would be shown that prices were fixed and agreements made in 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917, When Mr. Oeland alluded to trans actions in bunlker coal, counsel for the defendants objected to this subject be- ing brousht into this case on the ground that it is involved in a different indictment in which some of the pres. ent defendants are named. Mr. Oeland contended that some of the defendants in the present case, while they had not actually handied bunker coal, nevervie- Jess had participated in the alleged eonspiracy to fix prices. “It is preposterous,” said Henry A. Wise, of counsel for the defendant: “to inject bunker coal matters in this case, because the price of that coal is fixed in Great Britain, is legally proper and has been so commended by the British courts.” “Yes,” answered Mr. Oeland, “but we will show that the British asree- ment on bunker coal prices in this country was reached only after it had | been fixed by these men. the conspiracy.” Judge Grubb ruled that the govern- ment, when it presents its evidence, must show the participation of all the defendants in the sale or the agree- ment of price of bunker coal.
