COAL MEN HAVE GRIEVANCE
Say Roads Charge for More Fuel
Than Delivered.
ASK CHANGE IN WEIGHING
Order of kO-KORI Appoints Com.
mittee and Says Prices VIII
Come Down ~ Desired RE-
dress o. Granted,

The Omaha Breaker Ko-Koal has taken
a step which members hope will materially
lower tho price Of soft coal. A committee
has been appointed to interview the rail-
roads which ship coal here. This commit
tee win ask the roads to discontinue the
practice of charging retailers on mime
weights and that instead receivers of
coal be charged according to destination
weights"
It is the practice of railroads which ship
coal to accept the weights turned in by
mine-operators. sometimes the railroad IT.
self or an equivalent company, and these
mine weights are often, say the retailers.
far in excess of the amount OF coal de-
livered to the retailer destination.
1T is also true" said A. l.. Havens,
modoc OF the Omaha breaker. that mine
weights are affixed TO cousignments OF
coal, which are greater than the capa rity
of the car or cars. II Is often simply a
physical impossibity to load as much coal
into the given space as the weights call
for, The result is that coal dealers of
Omaha have been forced to charge the con-
sumer proportionately, for with shipments
of $1,000 tons and charges both for coal
and for freight for G,OO0 tons the coal dealer
has nothing else to do except raise the
price to the individual purchaser"
Mr.. Havens and other coal men declare
that cases like the one he instances are by
no means exceptional that It is the prac-
tice rather than the exception. Redress is
difficult in specific cases.
Add to this shortages due to pilferage
en- route and the retail coal mans plight
seems TO be no happy one-nor the con-
sumers. Take the ordinary grade OF
Illinois coal" says Mr. Havens. which Is
largely used In Omaha. am ready to
assert that II destination weights are sub.
stituted for mine weights the price per ton
TO the consumer here will be lowered 81
cents"
Mr.. Havens as modoc has appointed on
the committee to wait on the coal shippinp
/ railroads these five men: A. b. Cook
John Power f. f. Howell, Randall Brown
and ]. c. Weeth.
While the coal dealers feel they have a
considerable grievance but they are not
purposing, TO adopt belligerent tactics.
I'VE believe" said Mr.. Havens, that the
railroads are conducted by hOnest-inten-
toned, fair-minded men who will grant
us redress for a real abuse"
