Here is what he has said TO them:
You are drafting our sons to be sent
to France to fight for the nation. You
are not drafting your sons because they
are not physically able to go. If. while
our sons are fighting in France, you
try to hold UP the people of the United
States for coal, then we will stop you.
even If we have to close down your
mines
The coal carrying railroads of Indiana
are asking the public service commits
sion for permission to add Is cents a
ton on their present freight rates for
hauling ccal within the state. A hear
ing on this petition is in progress be-
fore the commission.
At yesterdays session IT was brought
out that 65 per cent of the coal mined
in Indiana is hauled to Chicago. and ii
the railroads were granted a Is cent in
crease in rates for coal shipments in
side the state 1t would not apply 70 this
65 per cent, the rate on Chicago ship
ments remaining the same as at pres.
ent. Thus, it was pointed out. such ar
increase would merely penalize Indiana
coal consumers. The hearing will con-
sumo three days.
