SOUTH SHORE
GETS VICTORY
State Industrial Commission
Orders Lake Erie and Chi
cago Belt to Exchange
Freight With the Interur-
ban Company.

Word has been received from .Indi-
annapolis to the effect that the Chicago.
Lake Shore and South Bend railway has
just won its long pending suits against
the Lake Erie and Western. and the
Chicago Belt Line before the Indiana
public service commission to compel
these two roads to enter into reciprocal
exchange of freight and to establish
joint rates same as steam railways are
compelled to do. Both the Lake Erie
and Belt lines have heretofore refused
to do business with the South Shore or
TO allow switch track connections and
fought the South Shore desperately in
the hearings before the Indiana com
mission. Now they will have to permit
the South Shore connections and agree
upon equitable tariffs over both lines
The victory is big one for the South
Shore and will insure that company
traffic connections with every road it
crosses between South Bend and Pull
man and will at the same time open up
to the South Shore connections with
every industry in Michigan City. The
South Shore officials have a right to feel
mighty happy over their legal victory.

in their freight business.

COMMISSION
WILL. PROD
COAL. MEN
TIMES BUREAU,
AT stats CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, May 4-The
public service commission has called all
of the coal mine operators in Indiana to
attend a conference at the state house
next Wednesday at 10 o'clock to dis
cuss the present coal situation in the
state. 1t is the intention of the commits
sion to get at the bottom of the trouble.
and it will seek to obtain from the
operators all possible information as to
how the coal shortage and high prices
in Indiana have been brought about
Coal operators have always resorted
to the favorite excuse that there was a
shortage of cars and that they were un-
able to make shipments. They always
give this as the reason for high prices
and shortage If the present condition
is caused by car shortage it is within
the province Of the public service com
mission to correct that trouble, ana II
proposes to do so.
Only few days ago the retail price
of coal in this city was boosted so cents
to 81 ton on all grades and kinds.
Some of the operators said this advance
was caused by the fact that they were
compelled to increase the pay of miners
week or so ago. But it has been figur-
ed that 20 cents ton increase would
pay all Of the increased cost under the
new wage arrangement. and people are
wondering why it was necessary to
boost the price 81 a ton to meet an in
creased cost of % cents.
1t is believed that the public service
commission is in possession of import
ant evidence in connection with the coal
situation, and it would not be at all
surprising if interesting things transpire
in its investigation.
