Philadelphia July 3 The federal court for Eastern Pennsylvania ruled that the Reading group of corporations and its allies are not an unlawful combination and do not unduly restrain commerce in anthracite coal. The decision kept Jersey Central ownership intact and found no violation of the commodities clause of the Hepburn act. The court suggested possible divorce of Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal from Jersey Central, but found Reading and Jersey Central not competitors in coal marketing.
