CENTRAL CITY
INVESTIGATION
Into Car Shortage Matter
Doubtful.
NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF GIVEN
State Rail Road Commission
Reserves Decision, and
Miners Disappointed.
MATTER is FULLY PRESENTED

Central City, KY, Dec. 20.-At
to-day's afternoon session of the
State Railroad Commissioner
hearing into the coal car shortage
on the Illinois Central, George NJ.
Burton, manager of the Broadway
Coal Company, testified that minor
breakdowns temporarily suspend
ing operations, occur two or three
times a week. He denied the state
ment of Judge Wickliffe that the
average miner does not want to
work over four days a week, and
said most of them would work six
days If they could g.. r.. .
General Manager S. A. York, of
the Central Coal and Iron Company
and McHenry Coal Company, was
next called.
He explained that he has a full
rating of S25 tons by reason of the
Illinois Central railroad taking
mine-run coal for its engines. The
capacity of the McHenry Coal Com
pany is 500 tons. and the Render
mine has a capacity of $50 tons and
rating of 200 tons. When the
McHenry tipple burned he pooled
Render and Echols and thus gets
$50 tons on alternate days at both
mines.
The joint capacity was 1850 and
rated at $50 tons. He received A
per cent. of the cars ordered.
Mr.. York stated that the opera
tors submitted the figures for rat
ing until a disagreement arose.
Then the Illinois Central railroad
based its rating on the average out
put from April to September / +,
allowing SO per cent. for winter ex-
pansion.
Mr.. York entered into a detailed
explanation OF lie. rating process.
He showed how a mine. running
one day a month and hosting 1900
tons a day, would be rated as a
2OO-ton mine, and another mine,
working every day and hoisting the
same amount an hour, would get
the same rating. Mr.. York stated
he would like to go on record with
reference to the coal-price agitation
in Louisville. He said lump coal
costs the Louisville retailers $3.50
at the mine. so cents freight. so
cents drayage.. and a profit Of only
80 cents Is made on coal at $3.50
per ton In Louisville.

Company, testified that the car sit
