Interesting Testimony From Traffic
Manager of pennsylvania.
philadelphia. April 12.@That rates
are fixed by the traffic association
composed of various coal carrying rail
roads was the admission drawn yes
terdav from railroad officials at the
anal hearing of the interstate com
merce commission investigation into
the alleged abuses of the coal trade.
Through Joseph c. Searles, coal traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania, who is
also chairman of all the rail traffic
associations 1t was learned this organ
ization not only fixes the percentage Of
tonnage allotted to each railroad but
also esta blishes the rates. Counsel for
the commission produced the minutes
of the meeting of the tidewater Btu
1ninous steam coal traffic association
held September 19. 1900. The records
showed that a resolution offered by
the Norfolk & Western company per-
hitting that company and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad to carry tide
water coal at the rate of $1-25 ton
was voted down and that the rate was
liked at $40 ton on Mr. Searles'
resolution Mr.. SeaFles admitted that
there had been an agreement as to
the tonnage to be allowed each road
and that if one road shipped more and
another Jess a settlement was made.
He said that there had been no settle
ments since 1896. Mr.. Searles denied
that there was an understanding to
maintain rates between all rail and all
water associations for the purpose of
preventing competition.
