Non-Union Coal Carrying Railroads Win Rate Relaxation
A three judge federal court enjoined the Interstate Commerce Commission from disturbing a 20 cent per ton differential long enjoyed by southern coal shippers to Great Lakes ports. The ruling holds the commission overstepped its powers by denying southern railroads the rate reduction, a decision that would shift rates toward those granted to Pennsylvania and Ohio producers. The case affects coal trade across several states and could reach the Supreme Court if appealed. Separately a body of an unidentified man was found in the Cuyahoga river near Scranton road, deemed a probable suicide. An unrelated note reports German consul Bordners praising the safe landing of German flyers in Cleveland.
