SLOWER RATES
MUST Be APPLIED
TO COAL PRODUCTS
FREIGHT CHARGES HIGH
So Says a Representative of the
Coal Operators Who De-
clares the Railroads Would
Be Justified in Making Re-
duction of IS Per Cent a Ton
on Coal.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Should the
interstate Commerce Commission de-
eide as a result of the present inquiry
that rate schedules should properly
be lowered the lower rates must be
applied first to coal the commission
was told today by J. D. A. Morrow,
vice president of the national coal
association who said he spoke for
1000 mine operators producing ap-
proximately so per cent of the coun-
try's bituminous coal.
Mr.. Morrow said, the average
freight paid on ton of coal at the
present time between the mines and
points of consumption amounted to
$2.27 cents while cost at the mine
was $2.33. He estimated coal rates
had advanced from IS to 200 per
cent according to localities since
1914.
Railroads would be justified, said
Mr. Morrow, in making reduction
of Is per cent a ton on coal. Quot
ing from reports to his association
from members Mr.. Morrow said a
large part of production Of coal from
the seven months from April l to
October /, 1921 had shown an aver
age loss of two cents a ton for the
producers while conditions prevail
ing during November and December
would make the losses even greater
The fact must be recognized that
high freight rates are chief elements
in delivered cost of coal, the speaker
declared.

all the Whiskey seized since We came

Much of it even in cold weather is
