Pittsburgh Producers Appear Be
fore I. C. C. With Claims.

Pittsburgh coal producers today put
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission evidence tending to support
their demands for revision of railroad
rates on coal from all eastern produc-
ing rates, according to the Pittsburgh
contention. all tend to handicap their
mines in competing for opportunities
to supply the northwestern demand
for coal which moves over the great
lakes steamship lines
: At present the rates from the Pitts
Fourgh mining territory to the great
lakes average % cents per ton less
than the rates to the same destina-
ton from principal kentucky produce
ing fields. 1t was also alleged that
rates from Pittsburgh to the lakes
average 40 cents less than the rates
from the Pocobontas and other low
