The Railroads centering in the
Pittsburg coal fields have tried to
make rates which will keep the coal
from this section out of the Lake
trade. The only way the coal of
other sections can compete with our
coal is to shut us out by unjust
freight rates However in spite of
it all, this section has prospered.
The business of our operators has
steadily increased, for we have held
a good share of the trade of every
market in which our coal has been
introduced. The new situation will
to some extent embarrass our opera
tors but they will be equal to the
emergency and we do not fear any
serious results to our coal business.
