This Commission has made many
orders reducing the tariff on coal some
times ten and sometimes twenty cents per
ton, but the railroads have voluntarily
made reductions and shown generous
spirit In bringing about these reductions
II is also true that the competition met
by the new use of oil which takes the
place of coal has had the result of max
ing reductions In the coal tariff nearly
twenty-five per cent II Is fact that Ala
bama enjoys a very reasonable coal rate
perhaps the cheapest of any State In th'
