The Indictment charges that In the plan to Increase the price of coal the operators refused to sell fuel to anyone not a member of the retail coal dealers' association and allied organisations and that they refused to sell coal to anyone for purposes beyond their Immediate needs, thus preventing the storage of coal for future use. Another plan for Increasing fuel prices, it is charged, was to. sell It through sales sgencles which were separate In name only from the operating and producing "WWPWnes.

Ing to sell coal only for Immediate delivery at prices agreed upon at the time of delivery. In carrying out their plan to cause a scarcity of coal, the grand Jury said the operators published broadcast during 1920 articles pointing out that there was a shortage of coal and urged people to purchase.
