Must Not Raise Coal Rates.

WASHINGTON, Mar. In an or
der issued today by the Interstate
Commerce commission proposed ad-
vances in the rates on soft coal in
car loads from mines in the Spring
field, ILL.,, district, to Clinton and Ly-
ons Ia, are found not be justified.
The rates apply from mines on the
Chicago. Peoria and St Louis roads.
The railroads sought TO cancel
through rates with the Burlington
from these mines Of $10j on lump,
egg, nut and mine run coal and S7is
cents on screenings, pea and slack
thereby putting intocffcct rates from
the majority Of Chicago and Alton
points involved of $1.57 ON larger
coal ana $147 upon smaller sizes
and Of $1.47 on both sizes from the
Chicago, Pcoria and St Louis.
The commission says: In as much
as The present rates have been IN ef-
feet for several years and the law
ricr has not overcome the buriSI
makes them prcsnmptiyely reason
able. 1t is our conclusion that :he
that is cast upon 10 of establishing
the fcasonaUloucss OF tho increased
rates. We viii order that rates not
higher than the present rates Doc sus-
tanned for period of two years.
