GOVEIiItlT WINS LEHIGH VALLEY CUBE Railroad-Coal Combination Ordered Dissolved. SUPREME COURT DECIDES Seven Justices Unanimous In Opin ion That Anti-Trust Law Is BelBg Violated. WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The Le Kigh Valley rarttroad case, the second and last of the great anthracite coal anti-trust cases, was won today by the government. The supreme court In the unani mous opinion of the seren members' participating, held that the existing combination , of the railroad and its principal subsidiary companies was in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act, and reversing the lower court, ordered entering of a decree dissolv ing the combination and redistribut ing its stocks, bonds and properties so as to make each component part in fact independent and competitive. Companies Named Specifically. Specifically named in the order of dissolution were the Le-high Valley Railroad company, the Lehigh Valley Coal company, the Lehigh Valley Coal Sales company, Coxe Brothers ySc. Co., and the Delaware, Susque hanna and Schuylkill Railroad com pany. The court dismissed the bill so far as it 'named the New York and Middle Coal Field Railroad and Coal company, the G. B. Merkle company, the Girar Trust company and the individual de fendants, including the late George F. Baer, Daniel G. Reid, Kden B. Thomas, Lyman D. Smith, E. T. Stotesbury, G. F. Baker and other officers and di rectors of the defendant companies prominent in the financial and rail road world. Government Is Sustained. Justices McReynolds and Brandeis took no part in the consideration of the case, it was announced. The opinion of the court, as read by Justice Clarke, sustained in un equivocal language practically every contention raised by the government in .its brief. lt was held that the Lehigh Valley railroad through the coal company of the same name and other subsidiaries, monopolized the production, transportation and sale of anthracite coal from mines located along its lines: that this monopoly was sustained, through illegal pay ment to the subsidiaries and that the organization of the coal sales com pany was in fact a mere device to circumvent the so-called commodity clause of the interstate commerce act which forbids a common carrier to transport coal in which it has any in terest Coal Land Is Controlled. "This history of almost 25 years," the opinion read, after reviewing the life of the railroad from its inception, "casts an illuminating light upon the intent and purpose with which the combination here assailed was formed and continued." Evidence submitted by the govern ment was accepted as proving that the railroad controlled 60,000 acres of anthracite lands along its lines "in the limited area of anthracite produc ing territory," and that 95 per cent of the coal tonnage moved by the railroad in 1908 was controlled by it through its complete dominance of the parent coal company which pro duced the tonnage.
