| coal be required to make public the
| system of car distribution in effect
upon it's railway and the several divi-
sions thereof, showing how the equip
ment for coal service is divided be-
| tween the several divisions of it's
road and how the same, in times
when the supply of equipment does
not equal the demand, is divided
among the several mining operations
along such road and that the carrier
| further be required to publish at
stated periods and at each divisional
headquarters upon it's line of road the
system of car distribution in effect
and the actual distribution made tc
4 each in mining operation under such
system.
2 That where the capacity of the
mines is the basis for the distribution
or equipment, a fair, just and equita
BILE rating of the mines be required
and that provision be made for the
representation Of owners Of the mines
at the rating thereof.
/ 8. That after reasonable time the
carriers engaged in Interstate com
merce be prohibited from using in
dividuaP Or private cars for the
handling of coal traffic
Would Bar Ownership in Mines.
4. That carriers engaged in inter
state commerce be forbidden aftel
reasonable time to own Or have in
terest, directly or indirectly, in any
operated coal properties, except sucl
as are exclusively for their own fue
supply, and that ownership either di
rectly or indirectly, by officers Or EN-
ployes of common carriers of any Goa
properties or any Of the stock of Goa
companies along the line of the roat
! by which they are employed be for
