yrs tu, 1 IB PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNK 7 GOVERNMENT WINS COAL MONOPOLY SUIT AGAINST LACKAWANNA U. S. Supreme Court Declares Disposition of Product Through Subsidiary Concern a Violation of Law. WASHINGTON, Juno Government today won In the Supreme Court Its anti-trust suit to put the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad out of tho coal'seltlng business by alleged evasion ot the commodities clause law through a subsidiary coal-selltng company. Tho operating plan was declared Illegal.

Tho railroad's plan was salo of the coat at the mouth of tho company's mines to tho Delaware, Lackawana and Western "Coal" Company, except such as It needed for operating the road. The subsidiary company then sold the coal, transported on tho Delawaro, Lackawanna and Western lines. Tho Government contended that tho ex-cluslvo contract between the railroad and coal companies by which tho latter exclusively purchased tho railroad's coal was monopolistic and an evasion of the commodities clause act divorcing railroads from coal selling. The New Jersey District Federal Court dismissed tho Government's suit, but was reversed In today's unanimous deel- Atlanta jail early today slon of Ihe Supreme Court. In It the directors, officers and stockholders of the coal and railroad companies were de.

scribed as practically Identical. That the railroad dictates coal prices to customers of the coal company was also pointed out. Justice Lamar read the opinion of the court. He declared the railroad retained an Indlreot Interest In the coal and by means of Its contract could control prices at New Tork. The court plainly Indicated that the contract was monopolistic and directed the Government to bring new proceedings against the Delaware, Iaokawanna and Weetarn to step Ua alleged unlawful saheioe of seJlisg coal.

Tho Journey from Maaon to tho State Prison Farm at Mllledgevillo was made by automobile. As a precaution against surprise by any angry citizens that might have anticipated the Governor's action and the secret removal ot the prisoner, Sheriff Man gum filled the ambulance with armed deputies, who stood ready to stand oft a mob.
