OPPOSITION OPENS AT HEARING BEFORE:
 EXAMINER RESELL
D. M. Goodwin of Louisville Opposes Petition of Ala bama Operators-Blames
 High Cost of Production

Good progress was made yesterday at the coal freight rate hearing be- ing conducted by Examiner Louis G. Bissell of the interstate commerce com mission at the Tutwiler hotel the first witness in opposition going on the stand in the person of D. M Goodwin of Louisville, Ky, general freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
 Eugene McAuliffe of St Louis fin ished his testimony during the morn- ing and George Caldwell, general freight agent of the Southern railroad followed MT McAulffe. Both Mir. Me Auliffe and Mir. Caldwell testified fa- vorable to the increase in differential in freight rate asked for by Alabama coal operators with respect to rates from the coal fields of Illinois and Kentucky.
 Mir Goodwin strongly opposed an in- crease in the differential between the rates on coal from Illinois and Ken lucky fields and from Alabama fields to Memphis and other southern Mis- sissippi valley points. He stated that he did not believe such differentiai as asked for would be fair and just to the coal operators of Kentucky and Illinois. He gave the inference that inability of Alabama coal operators to compete with the Illinois-Kentucky y operators in southern Mississippi val ley markets was due to higher cost of production in Alabama, in his mind rather than to improper freight rates MT. Goodwin was very brilliant Wit ness and repeated thrusts of wit oe- tween the witness and Counsel Glasgor for the Alabama operators, the exam ming attorney. brought laughter to bor 6rx; ;<a proceedings.
 The hearing may close by this even ing but probably will be continued un- til tomorrow it Is said. Great interest Is taken in the case because local op- orators claim that if the case is won tript
