Ignite COAL
RATE CASE
pri
Commission to Suspend Tariffs
Filed by Roads; Vigorous
Contest.

The Ignite coal rate case before
the railroad commission promises to
be quite interesting before the matter
is settled. Some of the railway COM
pan!es now claim the commission Is
without authoritytto suspend pro-
posed rate, contention in which the
commission does not coincide and
which will be combatted strongly 1t Is
understood. AS the matter now
stands the railways will probably file
the necessary papers in court which
they contend will automatically res
tore the coal rates in force before the
maximum rate law was passed, but to
further Gear the atmosphere tho
roads will very likely file tariffs cover
ing this old rate, and these tariffs the
commission proposes to suspend pend
ing a hearing. This right to suspend
is challenged by the roads, but the
commission seems very sure of its po-
sition and will maintain it vigorously
and considerable importance is attach
ed to the matter. -,.>...@
In case another appeal is taken to
the courts the coal miners, shippers
and consumers will probably profit as
the fighting will be done while the
rates are at the present status, while,
if the contention of the railways is
maintained and they are able to put
the old rates into effect, they will be
getting the higher rate during the
time the counting is being dane, at
least this is the way many conver-
SAINT with the situation view things.
The railroad commissioners feel
that the legislature intended to foster
and encourage the Ignite coal indus
try by prescribing maximum rate,
and while the board has no desire to
make a rate non-compensatory or un.
fair to the roads, it realizes the i'm.
portance of the development of the
coal mining industry and will leave
no stone unturned to carry out the
intention of the legislature and what
it believes to be the popular senti-
ment. The hearing in this case will
be held in this city about the middle
of June and will probably be one of
the most important issues yet before
the commission. y

Washington, May 22.-Determina-

of the British order.in-council, which
declared an embargo on all CONNER
cial intercourse directly with Ger
many as we'll as inward and outward

manifested in several ways today.
The foreign advisers Of the state de-
partment announced they had decided
to suspend all conferences with the
British embassy officials here with ref.
erence to informal arrangements
which have been in progress and not
only to assist the American cotton ex.
porters in obtaining payment for the
cargoes detaind, but also to secure
for American importers, the American

council became effective.
To Secure Understanding.
Bryan said this step was taken in
order to secure a better understand
ing with England as to the capacity
in which the foreign trade advisers
were acting.
There is no tendency among the Off
cials to understand the seriousness Of
the situation which may result in the
event of an unfavorable reply from
Berlin TO American representations.
On one point in particular it is known
Washington will insist on complete
disavowal of any intention to destroy
the American lives and full repara-
tions for injuries sustained. In Aus
tro-German circles here, it is said,
the reply to the American note might
be delayed sveral days hy the Italian
situation.
