NEXT HEARINGS
WILL Be HELD
IN DETROIT CITY
Where Consumers Of Coal Pro-
test against Increased Rates
from This State.
nm @. Q. McIntOsb.l

HUNTINGTON, August 9.-The next
hearing in the coal rate case will be
heard in Detroit, commencing Sep
TENDER %.
This hearing will be an important
one The testimony Of a number Of
Michigan coal dealers and consumers,
who are protesting against the in
creased rates, will be taken before
Examiner E. G, Marshall. 1t is con-
tended by them that the proposed in
crease would add 100000 per year
TO the cost Of coal brought from West
Virginia mines. They join heartily
and forcibly in the contention that the
railroads did not ask for an increase
in the d%iferentials because the rail-
roads needed the additional revenue,
but to meet a political exigency in
Ohio, due to the threat Of the Ohio
public utilities commission to lower
rates on Ohio coal shipped from that
field into Central Freight Association
territory, unless the rates from the
West Virginia fields were advanced to
increase the d%iiferential.
West Virginia coal is a fayorite in
Michigan markets. and the dealers
there have been using it to the eXclus-
ion Of Ohio and Indiana coal, not
withstanding the existing differential
of twenty-five cents a ton. To widen
the differenetial an extra fifteen cents
a ton would be ruinous to the business
and would force the Michigan con-
sumers to use an inferior coal.
At this meeting the evidence taken
in previous hearings will be summed
up and the railroads and shippers will
be given an opportunity to prepare
and submit briefs to the commission.
II is anticipated that this will be the
final hearing OF the case.
