NO COAL ADVANCE
Visit of Operators and Miners Officials
to President Saves Raising
Freight Rates.


Indianapolis. Ind, March 2O.-Word
today was received by the state rail
road commission that the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroad has decided it
will not raise the freight rate on coal
for the Chicago market. Some days
ago the Indiana operators were inform
ed that coal roads contemplated a hor-
izontal increase of 10 cents per ton in
the freight rates. This resulted in some
of the operators and John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, and William j. Wood, of
Indiana, railroad commissioner going
to Washington last week to lay the
matter before President Roosevelt and
the Interstate commerce commission
and seek to prevent the advance
Whatever may have been the effect of
this visit the Indiana railroad commits
sion was informed today that there
would be no advance in rates.
