COAL CASES DECIDED
Commission Orders Rate Reduc-
tions and Grants an Increase.

washington. March 19.-The Interstate
commerce Commission to-day decided two
q, the most important cases pending be-
fore it, involving coal rates from the \lr-
ginja and Pittsburgh districts to lake
psrts In the Pittsburgh case the coal
shippers won a complete victory. the COM
mission ordering a reduction of the rate
an bituminous coal from SIS to IS cents
ton from Pittsburgh to lake pcrts. In the
cases respecting rates from Virginia and
West Virginia fields 10 lake ports the
commission upheld proposed advances
from the Thacker districts from 81 cents
10 sl0slz a ton and from the Pocahontas
districts from 81 J. . to 81 q i ton, made
by the Norfolk & Western Railroad on
the ground that they did not impose an
unjust or unreasonable charge for the SER
vice RENDERED
The commission ordered the Baltimore
& Ohio. the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the
Kanawha & Michigan railroads. however,
20 maintain their present rates from the
Fzirmount. Kanawna and New River dis
tricts. which are, respectively, 961t
cents 81 cents and 81 Il a ton. The pro-
posed advances 10 81. 81 06i5 and 81 q Z a
ton we're held not TO he iustined
The opinion in the Virginia case pre-
pared by Commissioner Lane. is an eX-
hsustiye consideration Of the cost Of NOV
Ing coal from the fields concerned. It
shows that the cost. including all operat-
ing and maintenance expenses, is about
tgo mills a ton a mile. and holds that a
rate of three mills will cover interest and
dividend charges as well as operating cost
This is the first case i'm which the COM
mission has made an extensive investiga-
ton into the cost Of movement Of traffic
as foundation for the fixing of rate.
The Pittsburgh case involved the Pitts
egrgh & Lake Erie and other roads. The
opinion was prepared by Commissioner
Meyer. reduction Of the present rate OF
s. 10 IS cents a ton from Pittsburgh 10
Ashtabula harbor is ordered for at least
tvo years from May I, 1912.
In this opinion, as in the Virginia case.
the commission gives minute considerd-
ton TO the cost Of moving coal, and de-
cares that the results tend 10 show that
the expense Of transporting Pittsburgh
coal TO Ashtsbula is probably less than
half the present rate Of IS cents.
