The Florists' Review 



JuLi 19, 1917. 



now and keep the mines busy in sum- 

 mer, it is playing directly into the hands 

 of the mine owners, as present prices 

 for coal at the mine mouth are the high- 

 est ever known, fixed there with what 

 looks like government sanction. 



JXJRY FREES COAL MEN. 



Forty-one bituminous coal operators 

 and sixty-nine companies in Virginia 

 and West Virginia, on trial at New 

 York city on indictments charging vio- 

 lations of the Sherman anti-trust law, 

 were found not guilty July 12 by the 

 jury that heard the evidence during the 

 three weeks of the trial. 



The charges grew out of the action 

 of the producers of Pocahontas and 

 New River coal January 1 when they 

 raised the price of coal from these 

 fields from $1.35 to $3 per ton at the 

 mine. The government charged that 

 the operators made an agreement to 

 this effect and thereby entered into a 

 conspiracy in restraint of trade. 



During the trial indictments against 

 twenty-three individuals and thirty- 

 nine corporations, who were also among 

 those named in the original batch of 

 indictments, were dismissed. '
