THE PLIGHT OF THE MARY
LAND MINING INDUSTRY

Another important situation within
the District which has suffered by the
serious neglect of Congress is the
unmerited and unnatural plight of the
coal mining industry in Allegany and
Garrett counties. Once the outstand-
ing industry of Maryland, it is today
practically at standstill, it's miners
suffering and the operators facing
bankruptcy. There are still left I'M
dug in these mountains, five billion
tons Of coal, enough to supply the
nation for ten years. In 1920 we sent
to our natural Maryland market, less
than 200 miles away, six million tons,
which is now cut to one half, while the
New River and Pocahontas regions,
over 400 miles from this market have
actually increased their shipments
and driven out the Maryland coal.
The cause of this decadence is not
chargeable to nature nor to opera
tors and miners. 1t is found in a dis
elimination in the freight rates
charged by the railways which COM
pels the Maryland Goals to pay much
more per unit of service for delivery
to market than charges made to the

so important that I give some exam
Piles of these rates and the distances
involved.
A study of these rates shows that
the charge from Maryland mines to
Maryland markets averages $1.63 per
100 ton miles against an average of
n cents from the Pocahontas and
New River fields to the same markets,
and $1.15 average for revenue on all
freight hauled by the B. & o. R. R. in
1924. This inequality is even more
emphatic when one considers that
coal is usually the most cheaply
hauled of all commodities, and that
while the Maryland haul and market
are all down grade, the West Virginia

THE TARIFF AND

Without question more injury has
been done to business, industry and
consumers by the recent tariff legis-
lation, beginning with it's inception in
January, 1929, and still continuing,

'{history. An extra session called to

he will be a welcome guest out there
for he will have three choice seats
