COAL men FIGHT
FOR JUST RATES
THEY WIN IN THE FIRST ROUND
OF THE BATTLE.
REcoNs1GNING CHARGES CUT.
Railroads Insisted On Rate Of 81 Per
car-This Meant a Raise of
rs Cents Per Ton in
Fuel.

Marshalltown, Ia, Nov. 9.-Secre-
tary H. l.. Laird of the Coal Dealers
association of Iowa and Nebraska, has
received from the interstate commerce
commission information to the effect
that the western railroads had served
the commission with notice that they
had reeeded from their recent stand
in declaring big advances in reconsign-
ment rates in coal, and that amended
tariffs had been filed reducing the re-
consigning charges from IS, $6 and 81
to 80 and SO per car.
This information will be good news
to the coal dealers of three states,
Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, and is
taken by both the interstate commerce
commission and the coal dealers asso
citation to be a point won in what
promises to be one of the biggest tar
if fights ever waged between the coal
trade of the middle west and western
railroads.
On Aug &c last the Nebraska rail
roads asked of the railroad commission
of that state authority to establish new
rules, charging IS, Sc and 81 per car
ON all coal reconsigned to Nebraska
points, in addition to the regular
freight rates in effect on coal. AS
95 per cent of all coal is reconsigned,
this was Immediately recognized by
the coal dealers as meaning great
hardship not only to them, but to the
consumers as well.
Following this notice in Nebraska
all leading western lines filed tariffs
with the interstate commerce com
mission, making these same rules iii
effect in Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska
on Nov. /. The Iowa.Nebraska asso
citation went to work to secure hear
ing before the Nebraska commission
and this was held at Lincoln on Oct
&c. The railroads claimed that their
action was necessary because of the
shortage of cars. The coal dealers
claimed just the opposite. The rail
roads alleged that reconsigning coal
shipments resulted in congesting all
terminals. This the coal dealers de-
MED, and stated that reconsignins
would facilitate the congestion of ter
minals. At the hearing the railroads
were unable to show one instance
where any terminal had been congest
ed by the reconsignment process. At
the hearing, also, Omaha and Lin
coin jobbers made showing that they
would be. affected by an extra ex'
pense of 100000 if the new rules
went into effect
Restraining Order Issued.
Upon the showing made at the Lin
coin meeting q restraining order was
issued by the United States court at
Omaha, on Oct. 81, prohibiting the
railroads from enforcing the new re-
consigning rules on the following day.
The Iowa-Nebraska association then
went to work with the interstate com
nierce commission, and secured date
for hearing on filing petition nam
ing the railroads as defendants.
The roads that are made defendants
in the petition are the Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, st.
Joe & Grand Island, Illinois Central,
c., b. & O., Chicago & Northwestern
and the c., st. L., M. & o.
