CHESAPEAKE 8 OHIO CHANGES
COAL RATE TO SUIT DEALERS
General Rate of $1.5o Per Ton, a Re.
duction of Ten Cents, In
Effect Now.

On account of the objections raised
ny coal dealers and smaller manu-.
facturers. the Chesapeake 4 Ohio
Railway has decided to abolish the
manufacturers tariff recently put
into effect. The manufacturers TAR.
IN gave the manufacturers the bene-
TIT of reduction OF Is cents on the
ton upon coal shipped here from the
Virginia and West Virginia mines.
Instead of the special rate to man.
ufactnrers, the road has put into .,
feet n general reduction of ten cents
per ton in the rate from the Kama
wha and New River fields.
An official of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, has made public tho
following statement regarding the
new rate:
The Chesapeake G Ohio railroad
company has determined, after de,
liberate consideration of the matter
to withdraw the recently published
rates on coal for manufacturing pur-
poses. and to publish. effective on
legal notice, reduced rates on all
grades of coal for all receivers or
consumers.
"For Information 1t may he prop6.
to say that this rate from New River
is but ~ cents higher than the rate
on the same grade of coal from the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad Companies coal fields
to Baltimore, though the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad Company has to
haul the coal $50 miles farther than
either OF those other lines.
The most strenuous objection
against the original cut of Is cents
on the ton was raised by the manu-
facturers and dealers of Richmond.
who claimed that they were discrIm-
mated against by the cut.
While the new rate will not mean
'as much to local dealers and manu-
facturers as the first cut, which be
came effective on July 1, local inter,
ests will save something like thirty
thousand dollars annually, even on
the second rate.
