COAL DEAL MAY
LEAD TO TROUBLE
Pennsylvania Operators Say
Discrimination Exists.
MAY ENTER FORMAL PROTEST
Bethlehem Steel Company Buys $780,
OOO,OOO worth of Fuel I'm West
Virginia and Abandons Old Con-
trnctOrs--May Lead 10 Opening of
c. a o. Controversy.

An interesting sidelight on the question
Of freight rates in Eastern classification
territory came TO light yesterday in Bal
baltimore
Announcement was made there that
the Bethlehem Steel Company had en-
tered into an arrangement with the Da-
Wis Coal and Coke Company Of West
Virginia. for its supply OF coal and coke.
covering a period OF twenty years. for
which it agrees 10 pay about $50, 100000.
The freight rates agreed upon FOR the
delivery Of this fuel at Baltimore
amounts to about S30.O00.OOO or more.
The reasons advanced by the Bethlehem
Steel Company for changing its fuel con-
tract from Pennsylvania mines to the
West Virginia field was the difference
in freight rates charged by the Penn
sylvania roads. Il is asserted that mine
owners in Pennsylvania territory are
obliged TO pay about 81 per cent more
freightage on coal than is paid by the
West Virginia company the coal going
to Baltimore over the Western Maryland
railroad
May Revive old Question.
The opinion is openly expressed in Bal
timore that this great deal will be the
means Of rowling the controversy which
was finally compromised against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway for main
tanning too low freight rates IN the West
Virginia coal fields. This controversy is
Of far-reaching Importance. and IL il
once goes up TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission for adjudication, Il may re-
suit in considerable change in the tariff
rates Of coal and coke in this part Of
the country.
The railroads taking. traffic from the
Southern fields have given every posi-
bic assistance 20 the mining interests in
that section and the effect has been an
inci ease In facilities which would other
WIS., have been impossible. The operators
in Pennsylvania have made a statement
in which the following illustrations serve
TO show what the situation is:
How Problem Works out.
The railroad companies calculate that
the average distance from the Poca-
hontas and New River districts 20 Nor
FOLK and Newport News is 400 miles, and
their freight rate is $40 a ton. equiva-
lent 10 81 mills a ton a mile
From central Pennsylvania 70 New
York via the Pennsylvania lines the dis
lance Is figured at 345 miles and the
rate Is N.55 ton. equivalent 10 AZ
mills a ton a mile. To PHILADELPHIA. FOR
transit to New England and competitive
points the basis is the same. so that
practically the Southern product is
charged on shipments to tide water 30
cents a ton less than from central Penn
sylvania TO tide water.
Southern coal fields. it is claimed have
certain natural advantages. such as
thickness Of coal seam. and hence a
lower cost OF production than prevails
in the northern mining districts. Their
one disadvantage IS distance from the
market, but this IS elimi-
noted by the railroads in making a COM
paratively reduced rate, which is
said TO be the expense OF the northern
operators.
