HARD COAL TRUS ATTACKED WS BY GOVERMENT Gackawanna Road and Coal | Company Made Defendants | in Injunction Action, UNDER SHERMAN LAW. Test Also to Be Made of the ! Commodities Clause Application. TRENTON, N. J, Feb. 14.—Federal @otion has been begun here against the Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern Railroad Company and the con! company of the same name for ailegev Mlotations of the Sherman Anti-Trum Jaw and of the commodities clause of the Interstate Commerce act. This Is a test case against the so-called Hart Coal Trust. The result will affect not only the defendants but also the Rend- tng, Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley, Erte, Susquehanna and Western, Pennsylva- nia, Delaware and Hudson and Ontarlo and Western companies, which control Practically all of the annual output of 76,000,000 tons of coal produced in the anthracite fields. Application is now made to the United States District Court to enjoin the ratl- 1 mined or brought by It ur ments between the defendant corpora- tions, which are alleged to have com- mon stockholders, which constitute @ monopoly In an ourput of from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 tons annually and whieh, In combination strain trade b; ontrolling f. 0 b. A bureau of statistics ie alleged be maintained by the rall- road and the affillated coal companies for the information and guidance of a4 concerned. tion alleges that the pres- nta got around the commod!- e decision of the Supreme Court's decision in 198 by the device of a Mitty per cent. dividend by the rafimad company, which enabled its etockhold- ers to acquire the stock of the new coal selling company. TURNED BACK FOR STATE TRAFFIC. ‘These two concerns are charged with having then entered tnto a contract by which the rafiroad sells to the coal company annually 7,000,000 tons produced in the ratinoad mines and 1,000,000 tone dought outside. After taking ostensible INTER- possession of the coal the buyer then| GY Dills it over to the railroad for inter- state transportation. It ts alleged that at least 8 per cent. of the ehares of both companies are in the hands of common stockholders, that twenty-five stockholders own a majority of stock In both compantes, and the af- faire of both are controlled by a stil! mailer number acting in concert. The coal company ts eaid to have paid aivi- dende at the rate of 10 per cent. per} year, and in less than three years to have declared surplus of more than 0 per cont. Announcement is made that the rea- @on the Government recently requested end obtained the disminsal of the sult under the commodities clause against the Lehigh Valley was to gain time to consider. the advisability of proceeding against the company under. both the commodities clause and the Antl-Trust law. The Supreme Court, tn tts decision fn the general Mard-Coa! Trust sult, threw out without prejudice the chari of contbinations of coa!-carrying + roads and coal companies for the same Purpose, namely, to enable the Govern- ment to prepare itself on that distinct feaue. The present action puts the fin- iehing touch on that programme. nd @. Carroil ‘Todd, retained as special assistants, pre- pared the present case which, they say, will determine {f a corporation may escape by contract the prohibitions of the commodities clause, while retaining for iteelf all the benefits of the old ar- rangement; and if the Sherman law can be applied to restrict rafiroads to the functions and obligations of common oagriers. ay 3 HURLED FROM FIRE AUTO ENGINE IN CRASH, Its Two Front Wheels Are Torn Off, and the Smaller Motor Is Wrecked, An alarin of fire sounded last night at 10 o'clock from l'iftieth street and Sec- ond avenue and automobile fire engine No, %, stationed in Fire Headquarters fn Bast Sixty-seventh street, started for the Dlaze.
