Coal Freight Rates Under Fire At Interstate Commerce Hearing
Washington January 19 coal industry leaders pressed the Interstate Commerce Commission over railroad freight rates. J D A Morrow of the National Coal Association argued any reductions should favor coal first, noting coal freight costs may have risen 200 percent since 1914 while mine price stood at 2.14 a ton. George H Cushing of the American Wholesale Coal Association said earnings could support rate cuts with normal traffic and pegged a reasonable rate as 50 percent above April tariffs. South Dakota's Kelly warned current charges are excessive and not justified by conditions amid rising coal costs versus falling agricultural prices.
