Coal Trust Restrained By Federal Judge In Chicago Case
Ten Indiana coal firms and ten individuals plus a Tlivois coal company were enjoined by Judge Kohlsaat of the United States circuit court from continuing their output and price restraint scheme. They were given until April 6 to show cause why the order should be made permanent. The defendants had been recently tried in state court for price fixing and output restraint in Illinois, linked to the coal famine in Chicago last winter. The state case was dismissed as federal rather than state law. Their offense violated the Sherman antitrust law.
