Discrimination in Furnishing Cars Lawsuit in Kanawha Circuit
The Elk Coal Company files suit in Kanawha circuit court against the Coal & Coke Railway Company and the Davis Colliery Company alleging discrimination in furnishing coal cars and a conspiracy to destroy Elk Coal's business. Since 1903 Elk Coal says it has been denied cars, hindering 150000 tons of coal while Davis Colliery had cars, and seeks injunction and equitable distribution of cars. The case names ex Senator Henry G. Davis and Senator Stephen J. Elkins as principals, with ties to Coal State Ohio and Toledo.
