DE1uRRAGE IS CHARGED
UPON COAL CARS MERE
Complaint From Norfolk Agents On
This Score 10 without
Foundation.

In speaking Of the article appear
inr in the Norfolk papers Friday. to
the effect THAT no demuruage Is charg-
ed ON coal cars by the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad at this port. one OF
the principal coal agents chipping fuel
through this port said yesterday that
the a.atemenA Is not correct and that
ahe same time OF seven days before
Idemurrage is charger on cars Is al
lowed the shippers of coal by the
railnoad at this port as Is in effect
at Norfolk at this time.
Prior to April l, the demurrage time
allowed the coal shipping companies
operating through this port was four
days on each car, but ON that date
it was extended to seven days not
including Sundays or legal holidays.
The coal ageGrg further stated that
he was Of the opinion that the time
/ allowed by the railroad Of seven days
on each car before any demurrage
| was charged was reasonable and
eminenMy fair and that it prevented
certain brokers buying coal very cheap
when it was low and using the rail-
road compe rdes' cars for the purpose
: Of storing the fuel in until the price
; went up and then selling It, without
peying any storage charge TO the rail.
road company.
According to the Norfolk article the
coal shippers OF that port were com.
planning because the coal companies
at this port did not have any demur-
rage charged on a car no matter how
long it remained at the terminals
here, while in Norfolk they only had
seven days in which to unload the
fuel before demurrage was charged
, to the company owning the coal.
