HEARING IS ENDED
Pennsylvania Ohio Producers

20-Cent Reduction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, December 3.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission s
hearing on the proposed 20cent re-
duetion in lake cargo coal rates came
TO an end here late yesterday with
the Pennsylvania Ohio producers di-
recting final assault on the plan
for scaling down the transportation
costs on the products of the rival coal
field of the Appalachian region. The
hearing is to be resumed at Wash
ington on December 8, when both
parties to the involved rate con
troversy will be allowed to submit
rehuttal evidence.
This closing broadsde by the elmer
crescent" producers took the form of
a mass of figures on operating costs
of hauling coal from West Virginia,
Virginia. Tennessee and eastern Ken
lucky to Lake Erie ports for reship-
ment to the Northwest. The witness
was G. w. Oliver. statistician for the
group and Ohio and Pennsylvania
mine operators.
Evidence Controversial.
His testimony was prepared in an
endeavor to controvert evidence offer
ed at the earlier session of the hear
ings at Washington by G. ID. Brooks
hf Richmond, vice president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, which
road. with the Norfolk & Western and
] ~,uisville & Nashville. has peti-
toned for authority to make effective
and permanent the 20-cent rate ad-
1lstment which originally was pub
1shed last summer and now is under
suspension until next June.
The three petitioning carriers have
submitted testimony calculated to
show that their finances would be able
TO endure losses of revenue should
such result from the tariff reductions,
although their contention is that
enough additional coal tonnage would
be developed to prevent any decline
IN incomes.
To win the approval of the Federal
Government the lower rates must be
proven to be compensatory to such
degree that the financial structures
of the lines would not be weakened
and other traffic will not be com
PEELED to bear any increased burden
as sequel to the coal tariff adjustment
Mr.. Brooks was the principal wit
ness to testify before the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the
''outer crescent" carriers would not
suffer under the lower rate arrange
ment.
Margin Declared Too High.
Mr.. Oliver testified and offered in sup
port of his testimony detailed figures
that the net operating margin of 75
cent sa ton is substantially too high and
nevear would be produced in actual coal

there are ways of overcoming the

RED CROSS SENDS $75
 TO STRICKEN AREA
 IN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY

A special meeting of the execu- tive board was held at the City Hall last Tuesday evening to con sider sending a contribution to the national Red Cross for disaster re- lief work in the stricken area of the Mississippi valley where floods have wiped away the homes of over one hundred thousand persons.
 The executive board decided to send $75 from chapter funds rath- CT than stage a campaign to raise money for that purpose. During the annual roll call for member ship last fall, Wrangell enrolled, as usual, a very large majority of it's citizens as members of the Red Cross. The executive board felt that these members would be prac- tically unanimous in desiring that the Red Cross donation be sent from the funds accruing from their membership fees rather than raise the money by subscription.

COMMERCIAL CLUB

At the weekly luncheon of the Wrangeli Commercial Club held Monday the club voted its endorse ment of the bill pending in the House appropriating $50,000 for publicity Tor the territory under the administration of a board with a member from each division.
 The matter of urging the War Department to hold a hearing to learn of the needs for clearing Dry Pass near Shakan was discussed at some length. Ihe matter was Jeff in the hands of the transportation committee who will bring in re- commentators on the matter at the next meeting.
 MT. R. A. Bartholomew, manager for the Neill Transportation com pany. was present and when called upon spoke most interestingly. He pointed out that Wrangell as a whole and the Wrangen sawmiIl in particular would be greatly benefited if the pass near Shakan were cleared of Instructions He was sure that every boat owner in Southeastern Alaska would like to see the War Department hold hearing on this matter MT. Bar tholomew said Wrangell most eer- tainly had cause to feel proud of her hospital, and that with such excellent hospital facilities he be- lieVed that the town should go af- ter a marine hospital contract He also thought 1t unfortunate that Wrangell does not have an express nffInA n GafH a 4Hrba Fs5.4, outside want to send a parcel to NrangeIl by express and are told that the town of Wrangell has no express office they picture a very small place of much less import anee than Wrangell really is.
 Mr Bartholomew said he had read with interest of the bill intro duced by Representative Charles Benjamin for a Polytechnic school at Wrangell He further stated that during the short time he had been here he had learned with con siderable surprise that some oppo- sition has developed to the issuance of bonds which question is to be decided at the special election next Tuesday. He gave it as his opinion that if Wrangell votes against the issuance of the bonds 1t will not stand chance in the world of get ting the polytechnic school be- cause if the legislators should find that there was not enough public spirit in Wrangell to provide a de- cent public school they would not feel that the town was a suitable place for the location of a poly technic.
