Findings OF the Commission.


The commission, in submitting lis
findings, says
after a careful consideration Of all
OF the facts. giving due weight to the
large amounts invested in this traffic
by the respondents, endeavoring to de
termine what would be a due return
upon these investments, and proper
compensation for their service, We
have reached the conclusion that the
experience Of the respondents has
itself established the measure Of what
would be fair and reasonable rate for
the transportation of anthracite coal
10 Philadelphia, when that experience
established the fact that the rates nov
charged for such coal shipped "out
side the capes" was profitable
charge. We think. therefore, that the
rates for the local delivery Of coal 10
Philadelphia as now existing ought 10
be reduced forty cents ton, except loi
sizes less than pea, and that the rates
upon these sizes should be the same as
upon pea coal. The effect Of this Te
duction will be to put Philadelphia IN
this respect on an equality with Ihe
other cities and ports Of the country
'lf 1t be true that the existing rates
covering all freights upon the railroads
of the country are insufficient to ahOIu
them a proper return upon their IN
vestments. It is entirely clear that the
method Of correction should be a gen
eral advance in such a manner as 10
equalize the burdens and to anecl allA'
all interests and all subjects ol tral'
and transportation. To secure aue
Quate returns by placing unequal pu'
dens upon localities and commodiue
where 1t may be possible would De al
