WON'T ALLOW COAL RATE
Roads Had Planned Reduction to St
Joe and Nebraska Points.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Proposal of
the southwestern railroads to reduce
rates on coal moving from mines in
Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas to
Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., and st. Joe,
Mo, and related points by the flat
amount OF 20 cents per ton were held
unjustified today by the Interstate
commerce commission, and railroads
concerned were ordered to 'refrain
from making the lower rate effective.
Illinois cool operators protested
against the decrease which the rail-
roads suggested. The commission
held that the failure of the railroads
to reduce the rates on coal to Kansas
City from the southwestern mines
would also constitute a discrimination
against the point and in favor of the
cities for which the lower rates sched-
uled were proposed fE
