JXJRY FREES COAL MEN. Forty-one bituminous coal operators and sixty-nine companies in Virginia and West Virginia, on trial at New York city on indictments charging vio- lations of the Sherman anti-trust law, were found not guilty July 12 by the jury that heard the evidence during the three weeks of the trial. The charges grew out of the action of the producers of Pocahontas and New River coal January 1 when they raised the price of coal from these fields from $ to $3 per ton at the mine. The government charged that the operators made an agreement to this effect and thereby entered into a conspiracy in restraint of trade. During the trial indictments against twenty-three individuals and thirty- nine corporations, who were also among those named in the original batch of indictments, were dismissed. ' $209 FOR A. D.
