COAL FROl.. !, JR
SAYS WALTER MOORE
Proposed Advance by l.. &
n. Will Prove Serious
Blow to Coal Industry
of the State

III the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road is permitted by the state rail-
road commission to increase its coal
rates to Decatur, Birmingham will be
deprived of selling coal to that mar
ket' This was a statement yesterday
of Walter Moore. who is president Of
several operations in this district, and
keenly alive to the rate situation here.
He added in this connection that il
the Louisville and Nashville were per-
mitted to increase the rate to Deea =
tur the company would ask to in
crease the Montgomery rate, ana Bir-
mingham would be deprived of that
market.
The remarks of Mr.. Moore were in
cident to a conference held here yes
terday with Colonel Horace strlngfel-
low of Montgomery. who is combating
the request of the Louisville and Nash
Vile in behalf of local coal operators
The case will soon be heard Mr.
Stringfellow held conference yester-
day with some of the operators, and
during a luncheon at the Press CLUB
to the request of the Louisville and
Nashville.

'The Louisville and Nashville Is
ing to increase its rates to Dec
which, If allowed, will prohibit o
selling coal there while l am sure the
line will ask an increase to Mont
gomery. l have never in all my life
witnessed such absolutely inexcusab,e
attacks on this district. What it means
can't imagine. Here is Birmingham,
one of the greatest coal mining Sec
tions of the country, about to be de-
prived of selling coal at a point SO
miles from its mines, and the terri
tory being thrown open to Kentucky
mines 15S miles further away than Bir-
mingham.
The Frisco has dealt US a blow in
the Memphis rates, and what is to be
done | cannot tell. | was a party to an
agreement allowing the Frisco lines
scent increase pes ton on coal from
a strictly defined territory on the
Frisco Yet the Frisco wants 5 cents
more, and has put 1t in. The result Is
that mines away up in Illinois and
kentucky sell in Memphis and we are
about IL hours away 1t is past my
derstanding.
