Fixed by the Finance Committee at Sixty
seven Cents.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The senate
committee on finance has fixed the duty
OIL coal at 81 cents per long ton. This
rate applies only to coal shipped from
countries which do not impose higher
rate on American coal. It therefore
affects only Canada, the Canadian rate
on American coal being the same.
There has been q strong contention to
hold the rate down to that originally
fixed by the committee, and even to
lower it, but this effort was vigorously
contested by the senators from the coal
producing states, and the latter class
have won. The committee has also de-
cided to restore paintings to the dutiable
list.
