Coal Theft Spur in Railroad Yards Arrests and Fines
Two local workers were arraigned in Police Judge Meyer’s court on a charge of stealing coal from Rock Island yards. Both were found guilty and fined fifty dollars plus costs but fined amounts were mostly remitted since they are married. The theft occurred last November as a teamster and a night worker aided by a Rock Island employee carried several tons of coal from the cars. Special agents across railroads report ongoing coal thefts and efforts to catch thieves, with Illinois Central and Great Western yards noting large losses.
