NORTHERN ROADS
MAY ASK INCREASE
Counter Move to Southern
Lines Switching Charge
Plea Is Planned.

Northern railroads may counter with
q plea for an increase in freight rates
on coal from Southern fields to WASH
ington, If the Southern coal operators
and lines are successful In obtaining
general switching charge for handling
equalize the rates from Northern and
Southern fields, the Board of Trades
special committee was told by repre-
sentatives of the Baltimore &, Ohio and
the Pennsylvania Railroads today.
The railroad men commended that
the $313 per ton rate for bringing
Southern coal to the Capital, distance
of 412 miles, was scarcely fair even I'M
der the present switching arrangements,
while the current rate of $2.71 is In
force for hauling the Northern field
coal over the 252 miles separating them
from Washington. If general SWITCH
ing charge, which would void the ~
cent difference in the rates from the
two fields, were established, the rail-
road men told the trade boards conf
mittee. then the railroads would be
obliged to seek an increase in the
Southern coal hauling rate.
Ask Support for Charge.
A delegation of Southern coal OPP
orators addressed the Board of Trade
committeeman last week when they ap-
pealed for support Of their petition for
the switching charge on the ground
that unless the switching charge is ad-
justed Washington consumers either
will have to pay more for coal from
West Virginia or give up this supply
The railroad representatives were in
vited to present their side Of the SWITCH
ing controversy to the same committee
today.
Following the testimony of the rail-
road men, the trade body committee
agreed to hold its decision on the coal
rate in allegiance while an inquiry into
freight rates in general is undertaken.
The coal operators explained last
week that it is proposed in their petit
ton now before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. that a general
switching charge be established cover
ing the transfer of coal from the Po-
tomac yards via the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore g. Ohio roads to coal yards
in Washington proper. All coal then
would be billed, they pointed out, to
Potomac yards. where the rate is S2.84.
instead Of Washington, and Southern
railroads using the Potomac yards ter
minal would absorb the local switch
ing charge to be fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Esch Presides at Meeting.
The railroad representatives who adj
dressed the Board of Trade committee
today were C. H. Asher for the Balti-
more G. Ohio Railroad and c. H. Lip
pencott for the Pennsylvania The
session was attended also by Charles
ONeill. secretary of the Central Penn
Sylvania Coal Operators; A. B. McOl-
vaney of the Western Pennsylvania
Operators, and j. F. Graves of the Con-
solidated Coal Co. of Northern New
York.
The meeting was presided over by
John J. Esch, former chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
chairman Of the trade boards COM
mittee.

THOUGH Coach Lynn Woodwork
Of Business may have to use
left-handed second baseman, q
i rare diamond spectacle, in the
game against Tech tomorrow in
the Eastern Stadium, and may have to
employ reserves in some other positions
because of injuries suffered by first
stringers, he is by no means conceding
victory to the Mckinley nine. On the
contrary, the doughty Stenog mentor
entertainS hope of knocking the dope
galley west by coming through with a
victory over Tech. The game, as usual
will start at 3:l5 O'Clock.
Before the contest with Western 1t
was reported that Business might have
to call upon Matte Newman, Southpaw,
to hold down the second-base job
Woodwork, though, managed to get by
without pressing Newman into service
in that game. However, Joe Brown, who
took care of the keystone sack then may
be out Friday as the result of injuries
sustained in an automobile accident last
Friday. and Fred Finley, who also can
play second, hurt his ankle in sliding
IN the Gonzsga game Tuesday, making
it not at all unlikely that Newman may
be at second tomorrow. .Woodworth also
has three young infielders who are good
fielders but are shy on batting power
and experience that he may use at Sec
ond. They are Milton Jacobsen. David
Nemerofsky and Alfred Fratantuno.
Milton Singman probably will again
be at shortStop. as Bob Lucas, first
string shortfielder. has by no means re-
covered from a twisted knee suffered
some time ago.
Eddie Leonard probably will start on
the mound for Business, but there is a
chance that Joe Brown mayget the call.
Either Ensor or Spikel will take the
frling line for Tech at the beginning
Of the game, according to Coach NAL
colin Edwards. Except rs to right field
the Tech lineup will be the same as
was used In McKinley's winning game
with Central. Brown may 30 to right
field and Sklar take his place behind
the bat. Spigel. who held down the
garden job in the Central game, may
get the post again, or 1t may be held
down by Batson or Ensor, II the latter
does not pitch.
Edwards is highly pleased with the
work of Pitchers Batson and Price, but
does not believe them to be as 1T for
duty. in the championship series right
now as Ensor and Spigel.
Three diamond games are carded for
