on coal from Alabama group mines over the Louisville and Nashville, which rate is now $1.6s per ton, should be reduced to s1.s5 per ton. In support of this contention it is argued that the Montgomery rates should not be higher than rate on coal fixed by the interstate com merce commission from the Western Kentucky mines to Nashville. Tenn, which it is alleged represent the same number of miles haulage as from Alabama group mines to Mont gomery.
 In his testimony Monday MT. Quinn in behalf of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company, contended that the two rates mentioned were not comparable because he stated 94 per cent of the coal transported to Montgomery from Alabama group mines is handled over branch mines before reaching the main line of the Louisville and Nashville. He stated also that the haul from the western Kentucky mines to Nashville repre- sent straight line haul of T5 per cent of the whole.
 He added that other rates on coal in the south are lower in comparison than the Nashville rate and that on several occasions the Alabama public seryics commission had declined to reduce the Montgomery rate.
