ing to tentative figures compiled by

RAIL MEN DENY
BEING PARTY To
DELAY Of COAL
Tell Fuel Commission Head
They Are Unaware Of
Reconsignment.
BROKERS ARE SUSPECTED
McCardIe Determined TO Go to
Bottom With Probe-Backs
Up Times Expose.

Officials Of several railway cOmpa-
MES operating lines in Indiana today
told John W. McCardle, chairman of
the public service commission and the
State fuel emergency committee they
were unaware of any reconsignment
practice on their lines. Such answers
from these officials supports the belief
of the commission that the recons!gn-
ing OF coal has been done by brokers
and not by mine operators or railroads.
The public service commission has
promised prosecution Of any agency
found guilty of spch practice and has
launched an investigation Into the tac-
ties OF so-ca1led coal brokers who
buy coal IN carload lots at the mines
snd consign them TO John Smith" at
come railroad terminus. where they
will be sidetracked for later billing to
destination.
Coal Selling at 50
In view Of the revelation that some
Indiana coal is selling as high as 50 a
ton, McCardle has positive. informa-
ton that coal ar the mines has
dropped slightly in price. Though
operators promised faithfully that
$3.50 a ton would be the maximum
asked for coal, some have been ask
ing s5.25.
Strike Not to Blame
Crippled freight car service and re-
duced motive service due to the re-
cent shopmen's strike on several rail
road lines have contributed TO the un-
satisfactory delivery Of fuel. but not
in such a measure, railroad officials
say. as to cause prices Of Indiana coal
TO soar to such heights.
The presence of hundreds of loaded
ccal cars on sidings near indianapolis
was taken by the commission as the
apparent explanation Of the shortage.
Investigation by the Times led to the
probe of the commission.
McCardle was firm in his intentions
to prosecute any offenders found
guilty Of the practice and maintained
officials would "go to the bottom" OF
the situation to the end that the pub
lie should receive coal at a fair and
reasonable price and in reasonable
time.
