The government has not, nor. does 1t
now contemplate, making a charge OF
SIS per car for placing or sporting" a
car on a railroad siding.
This vas made plain yesterday by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to Congressman Harry c. woodward,
who sought information nom that
authoritative source whether or not
such an order had been issued. Mr..
woodward had reason TO believe that
it had been from the number OF let
ters in his mail yesterday morning
received from shippers from one end
OF his district to the other. The Com
mission quickly disabnsed his mind on
that score and enabled him to tele'
graph shippers that they were in er'
ror as to such an order being promul.
gated. Not only that, but he wired the
further information given him sy the
officials that the issuance Of such an
order was not now in contemplation,
and should there be prospect OF it,
ample notice would be giTer the ship
pers Of the country to be heard. How
such a report started In his district,

pleted, and new prices announced for
the year before April list. This Is the
date OF the year when it IS customary
in the trade for contracts to be made

West Virginia coal operators are, OF
course, very much concerned over It.
and quite naturally enough are espe-
cialIy DESTROYS OF seeing higher prices
permitted them. Their miners are,
too, for that matter, for the very OBJ
| vious reason that the higher prices
the operators are allowed to charge
for their output the higher wages the
miners count on receiving. As prices
stand now for west Virginia coal
neither operators OF miners have any
justifiable kick coming to the7a. Both
