A teat cane against Uia Lehigh Valley railroad win b filed today In the United State court in Philadelphia. That UM Lehlra Valley Railway Onel company. Cox Bros..

The rovemrnrnt chargra that although the buying of eoal from other operators haa been dona at a loa to the coa company it haa enabled the Lehigh Valley railroad to transport the coal over tta lines and profit from the freight charge. Coal Caaanaay a Dasnsay. To support Its claim that tha coal com pany is merely tba "dummy. tha govern ment cites that the officers of the railroad and the coal company are the earn and that csrtain numbers of the directorate and the executive committee of the railroad are members of the direct oral a and euro tiv committee of the ooal companies. Among those named are: Shea B. Thomas, Gnrgw F. Baer. E. T. aUoteabury and James A. Middleton. Tha government' eomplaint aiao said that since the capital stock of the coal company had been owned by tba railroad It haa paid no dividends, that millions of dollar have been advanced by the railroad tha coal company which have never been refunded ami it.it tha 'railroad haa paid tha tntertt an. tha eoal company bond, being- esmpeaaaied. tha government claims, by the earning of transportation of coal over tta lines. .

Inamte frees TaaJ Case. While la effect the government'! action Is a blow at tha ao-t-aJled Coal trust, the caae is sops. rale from that suit, which ta now on appeal to the supreme court. Ia the government's original commodities eiauaa actions against anthracite roads, which was heron In 1MB, the courts held that a railroad company might own stock In a coal csmpany and not violate the commodltiae clause if it did not own or have any interest la the transported eoal ef that eompany. With that dedaioa the conunodities clause waa considered by many a dead letter, bat Attorney tieneral Wlckersham carried the case to ths supreme court, where it wss decided that the government might amend lis complaint and involve the question of fact as to wheiher the railroad has- any Interest in the coal which it transported.
