Opinion

CHARLESTON, W VA, August
ia reduction Of 20 cents q net
ton in freight rates on coal In the
first zone Of the Clarksburg district
was ordered by the Public Service
Commission after a meeting held
yesterday.
The reduction which Is from 64
to " cents effective seytember /
was granted on the complaint of
the Wierton Steel Company against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Deciding that 81 cents per ton
rate on coal moving in the first
zone, or group, is unjust, unreason-
able and excessive the confusion
requested the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad having like zones or group
rates at Fairmont, Morgantown,
Grafton. Weston, Moundsville and
Buckhannon to voluntarilf reduce
the rates so as to conform to the
rates fixed at Clarksburg.
I Similar requests will be made to
