COMPLAIN OF COAL RATES.
Kansas City Concern Makes Charges
Against Frisco and Katy.

Washington, Aug The j. ~.
Leonard Coal Company OF Kansas
City, Mo, has filed complaints with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Frisco and Missouri Kan
sas and Texas railroad complaining
of the rates on coal from Arkansas
and Indian Territory points. 1t is
asserted that the complainant is fore
ed to pay freight on the mine weight
of the coal instead of the delivery
weight, there being a shortage on each
car load owing to coal falling off OF
the cars or being stolen In transit,
The complainant AYERS that II should
not be compelled to pay freight on
coal not delivered and asks rcpara-
tion for overcharges already made
and relief from such charges In the
future. This is case the outcome
of which will be of interest to coal
dealers aud coal hauling railroads all
over the country.
