Of COAL

washington. D. c., Aug. 2s.-Fore-
cast Of a tumble in coal prices was
made by department Of justice Off
Gals Wednesday coincident with the
announcement Of renewed activity"
in the campaign against coal profit

coal market would follow sugar
prices in a break in the near future.
Prices already have dropped at
Baltimore. where the federal agents

alleged combination Of dealers who
were declared 10 have boosted prices

attack on profiteers has been ordered
at Hampton Roads, one OF the largest

Federal reserve board officials also
reported indications Of an impending
drop in the coal market Their in
formation was that transportation
conditions with respect to coal had
improved and that, therefore there
wculd be better distribution. This

Nev Railroad Rates VIII Add Forty
Million Yearly To Texas Freights

rates for 1890 are estimated at $780,
s75.S00. This figure includes intra-
state as well as interstate traffic Up
10 and including 1917 the railroads
made separate reports for interstate
and intrastats business. and the in
terstate freight revenue averaged
$50 percent OF the total On this
basis interstate freight revenue for
1920 would average S93,S48,s00. The
new rates provide for an increase Of
IS percent or S32,s47,1o0.
This Years Estimate.
BY the same process Of calculation
as above, the 1920 total passenger
revenue is estimated at Ss1,ls3,30o, Of
which. using 1917 reports as basis,
sT-3 percent, or $50 ,2S1, 900. Is de-
rived from interstate traffic The
new rates allow a 20 percent increase,
which IS estimated at S6.055sz00-
Thus a calculation from the most
accurate figures obtainable indicates
that the combined increases not con-
sidering the sur charge on Pullman
fares, and assuming that 1891 business
viii be the same as that OF 1920, VIII
amount TO S38,903.400. However, II
the gain in business indicated by re-
ports for the first four months OF 1920

More Raises Asked
As indicated above. only interstate
rates-that is, rates on shipments and
travel that cross the state hne-are

Consider Idaho Petition
Copies of Complaint Served
on Officials of Railroads
Concerned; Reply in 20 Days

Early action on the petition of the
idaho public utilities commission to
the U. S. interstate commission, to
force extention of the Camas Prai-
RE railroad southwark to New Mea-
dows, thus establishing direct rail con
nections between north and south Ida
no, is promised by the federal board.
Atty. Gen. Roy L. Black, at Boise,
has received Official notice that copies
of Idaho IS complaint have been fur
nished the Northern Pacific and Pacific
and Idaho Northern railroads, with an
order that the relief asked by the
state be given or an explanation filed
within twenty days. The 20-day per-
iod expires May 6.
Almost universal approval, it is said,
has been accorded the state s action
to connect north and south Idaho
and open up a vast undeveloped cOun-
try to transportation.
Action by the state is based upon
recent statutes which grant the in
terstate commerce commission power to
compel railroads to extend their lines
if necessity and public convenience de-
mand the extension.
