Robert Fields, n Bowling Green

The officials of the Hooking Valley
and the Pennsylvania railroads are
eagerly looking forward to the an
nouncement of the decision of the
Ohio State railroad commission re-
garding coal freight rates, which is
expected during the week. 1t is said
that the rates will be reduced about
five cents on a ton of coal, but there
is probability that the rates may
be made still lower. Much uncertain
ty in the matter Is causing some lull
in the business. and the railroad men
say that they have suffered enough
from the strikes and other troubles
at the lakes to comply with any rad
lea cluts in the freight rates. They
think that the rates this year will
not be cut by virtue of the fact that
much coal must be hauled or the de-
mand for coal at the lakes will not
be filed. thus causing distress in the
sections where the supply will be linn
tied.

storm of Thursday evening. While on
other sections of the road, washouts
and wrecks were experienced. none of
any Importance were reported this
morning. All of the trains were run
ming regularly today and wire service
was not materially harmed. In some
instances poles were struck and badly
