Claggett, agent of tha Philadelphia aud Reading Coal aud Iron company In Chicago, the next witness called, produced lurmorauda of other coal carrying companies. Tha memoranda showed the names of thirteen dealers. In reply to a question of ComuJs-aione-r Prouty, the witness said there wen-- other wholesale dealers in Chicago, lnit he could uut recall the names of any of them. The witness said be never agreed upon any price for coal. He had hla inst ructions from hla superior at Philadelphia, and did not have authority to make any change in prices. It was undoubtedly true, he raid, that the 1700 or 1800 retail coal dealers In Chicago charged uniform prices. He believed the retail price always Is one dollar in excess of tbe ' wholeaalu prices. E. G. Piatt, general sales agent of tbe Lehigh Valley railroad of Chicago, who was called to the stand by Mr. Sbearn, said he had attended some of the moot lugs of the wholesale coal dealers, ami had received memoranda of some of the meetings. The witness did not know who had scut the papers, and he bad, he said, to the best of hla knowledge, torn them up. It developed then that the minutes of the meetings, all in typewritten form, referred to those present by number and not by name, except lu occasional Instances. Mr, Platt said the conferences had no Jurisdiction In the estimates and matuienanca of prices. What did you do when yon found retailers varying prices?" was asked.
