FIGHT AGAINST FREIGHT RATES.
ANTHRACITE REGION AROUSED OVER DIscRIMr
NATION IN HAULING CHARGES.

NATION IN HAULING CHARGES
McAdoo Penn. May (SpeciaD.-The continued
discrimination In freight rates maintained by the
railroads against hard coal has again aroused the
people Of the anthracite region and steps are I'M
der way whereby the boards OF trade OF the towns
and cities will IN concert to fight the railroads
through the to secure fair rate. The
bass OF the plan now formulated shows that
bituminous COAL which is produced for SO cents
ton and is three hundred miles from the New
York market. is delivered for less than hard COAL
which costs only 81 to produce ton. and the
haul Is but 80 miles The freight rate on hard
coal. owing to the railroad pool is higher than
that charged on grain. pig iron and other low
grade freghts. and almost twice the amount
charged for carrying soft coal which shuts anthra-
cite out OF the competitive class.
The present movement does not contemplate an
attack upon the rate compared with the longer
haul. but upon the discrepancy existing between
hard coal and low-grade freight for the
haul, and which II has been held. should be re-
duced. Congressman Cornell, Williams and Daven-
port are already much interested In the movement
and have pledged themselves TO do all possible
TO have the amendment adopted. This II passed.
would Immediately affect over two hundred thou
sand square miles OF territory where, II is said
intermediate points are imposed upon
