Senator Frelinghuysen is going to introduce bill
providing for lower freight rates on coal during the
summer months. The object of this is toSequalzo the
purchase Of coal and it doubtless would encourage
a movement, but practical coal men will take with
grain Of salt the statement that Commissioner E. E.
Clark of the Interstate Commerce commission has in
formed the New Jersey that his plan will put
into service 100000 coal cars which ordinarily stand
idle during the summer months There are not enough
open top cars in the country permit that many to
remain idle even in the dull the coal trade
There one feature of the Frelnghuysen measure how
ever to which coal operators will subscribe without the
least hesitation and that is the clause which prohibits
the railroads from confscating coal in transit We feel
sure that they have right do this and that they
can be made to pay penalty when they do, but the
enactment Of this principle into the statutes wsuld
lot of court action unnecessary and abruptly end an
abuse which has been the great deal of an
noyance not only to the coal trade but to the consum
ers ofcoal.
