•COAL MONOPOLY AT'PA CEEB.
Suits Laiinehed A.gainst SeVeral
Cafertiers in 13.8. Courts.
A despatch from New York says
A suit to break the Lehigh Valley
Railroad's alleged anthracite coal
moeopoly was begun by the Gov-
ernment in the United States Dis,
trict Court, in this eity on Thurs-
day, in a petition filed. by Freder-
ick R. Coudert, Special Assietant
Attorney -General, the Lehigh, its
directors and subsidiary companies
are accused of violating the Inter-
state Commerce and the Sherman
law. An injunction to prevent
them "from further restraining,
monopolizing or attempting to
monopolize trade and commerce in
anthraeite coal" is sought., and the
Government also asks that the rail-
road company be enjoined from car-
rying coal in which it has an in-
teresb. It is a dissolution whioh, if
won by the Government, will com-
pel. the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company to disassociate itself from
coal companies, which, aecording to
the petition, it controls.
Similar suits against the La,cica-
wanna and Reading Railroads are
well under way, and it is expeeted
that other coal carriers. will be sued
in consequence of a general decree
of the Supreme 0ourt that each
gronp against which monopoly is
charged should be proceeded
against separately,
