John C G Driscoll, chief witness before the grand jury, describes a history of a pact between coal mine owners and the coal teamsters union. The agreement barred nonmembers from driving coal wagons, raised cartage rates, and led to job losses during the nine week strike. He cites payments and coercion linked to President Shea.
