Orr Coal Executive Fined for Profiteering in Coal Case
James M. Orr, president of the Orr Coal Mining Co of Clarksburg West Virginia, was fined 5000 in Federal Court in Philadelphia after pleading guilty to coal profiteering last winter. The case, the district's first for the offense, saw efforts for a prison sentence softened by mitigating circumstances. The government dropped the company's indictment after Orr pleaded guilty.
