Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company answer to Hearst antitrust bid
Counsel for the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company have prepared an answer to W. R. Hearst's New York attorney general anti trust action. The defense denies any connection with a combination and says the Pennsylvania company exists to buy sell transport and coal and to acquire lands and railroad stocks. It asserts Pennsylvania law authorizes railroads to hold stock in coal or mining firms and contests any claim that coal prices were fixed by agreement. Officers may meet to exchange market data but deny price fixing by the company.

Advisers reject anti trust action in coal strike
Washington officials say no further on their initiative can end the coal strike and no resort to the anti trust law is planned. Cabinet members discussed the strike with President Roosevelt, and Secretary Root left for New York to register to vote while remaining aware of administration steps.

Secretary of the Navy Moody addressed a Republican gathering in Madison arguing the 67 cent a ton duty on anthracite coal was sneaked into the tariff act and should be repealed at the short session. He contended the president cannot deploy troops in coal regions without Pennsylvania authorit y calls and cannot seize lands by eminent domain.
