Mr.. ELKINS OFFERS AMENDMENT
The operation of the Dingey law, fixing rate
of s. cents ton on btuminous coal and Is cents
on slack said Mr. Elkins allowed nearly all OF the
coal irnnorted from Nova Scotia enter the New
England market the 15-cent rate. Describing the
manner in which this end was accomplished the
Senator said that the Nova Scotia shipper dropped
the coal into railroad from an unusual height
and that the coal Is broken still more by passing
Z, through tubes with breakers inside in trans
ferring 1t from railroad cars to barges. when II
reached Boston it was in condition TO pass 'Hroush
a half-inch screen and take the low duty hNed for
slack As most of the Nova Scotia product was
used in making coke it arrived in form suited to
the purposes of New England gas manufacturers,
Mr. Elkins offered an amendment defining coal
slack which he believes will prevent this msinter-
probation Of the law.
In speaking Of the petroleum industry MI f-lkIlls
said he proposed to vote to protect 1t by ieVylhg
a reasonable duty It, and that he would not
vote otherwise in response to a prejudice against

Senator's figures the Standard OIL Company pro
duces only II per cent CT the crude oil OF the
United States and Independent operators produce

he said would injure the independent producer OF
oil because he produced nearly all the crude Oh
of the United States and foreign oil would com

the two hundred and fifty independent oil pro-
ducers in West Virginia Mr.. Elkins said that t"ey
