RAILROADS MAKE
NEW COAL RATE
WILL BE 81 XDOLLARS
FROM MISSOURI POINTS
Union Pacific and Short Line to Make
Rates-Win Prevent Holdup-Just
What the Dealers VIII Charge Is
Not Known-This is an Important
Move in the Fuel Situation-Lay
Supply by Booming Orders.

Salt Lake, Aug. 1.-THE Union
Pacific and Oregon Short Line will
shortly publish a rate of Sc per ton
on soft coal from Missouri river
points, that is Omaha, st. Joseph,
Kansas City, to all points of Idaho,
effective at the earliest legal date.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has been asked by wire for au-
thority to put the rate in effect on
short notice, the statutory require
ment being 80 days There are a
large number of coal producers in the
territory just east of the Mississippi
river that are ready to ship coal on
this basis. The list of these producers
will be sent to all agents of the Short
Line for distribution to dealers and
consumers.
The cost of laying this coal down
at Missouri river points is SO per ton,
so the total cost to Idaho points will
be 80 per ton.
Just what the dealers will charge
is problematical, but as individuals
can secure this 50 rate and can lay
in large supply by combining their
orders, the dealers will not be in a
position to hold up consumers, This
is one OF the most important devel-
opments in the fuel situation.
