Mrs. Sallie L. Wilson. a widow more
than fifty years OF age. residing at

plished the task Of rearing and educa-
ting her three sons and one daughter,
although her husband died when her
youngest child was only eight months
old. Under the strain her health
broke down, as related by her to an
interviewer recently:
''The hard work that I undertook
resulted in my breaking down. and for

so-called remedies without results,
I kept getting worse and worse, and
was at last nearly desperate.

Mrs. Wilson continued. II have no

= This statement, the report says. has
been rnisccnstrucd to mean that closer
corporate relation between coal mining
compnu!es and transportation agencies
is desirable Tho report continues:
"On the contrary, the commission was
seeking simply to show that II sui1l-
cient interest Is present. transportation
facilities In existence can be made ade-
uuately to care for stimulated produc-
ton. The speedy movement OF coai
by interested transportation companies
was pointed out. to emphasize by con-
tract the misuse OF rolling STOCK oy
o,ber TRANSFORMATION companies. The
evils Of community Of interest be-
tween coal producing and coal trans
porting companies are fully recognized
ny the commission. Directly as to an
thracite this is shown by abnormal
freight rates which have been secured
by Interested transportation companies
for the movement Of such coal. In
stead Of being in the public interest,"
this community OF corporate interest
therefore. makes for unduly high prices
Of coal TO the public and has IN 1t the

In order to obtain corporation reports
in q more serviccable form. the COM
mission has been advising industries re-
