Knight Eyes Nomination If Ske's Out

Coal Producers Claim Freight Rates Too High
The Interstate Commerce Commission heard final oral arguments from coal interests led by the National Coal Association opposing continuation of temporary 12 to 18 percent freight surcharge. They argued freight rates now account for about 40 percent of delivered coal price, endangering the industry as railroads seek permanent surcharges. Regional coal groups from several states supported lower charges while rail spokesmen warned a return to 1982 level rates would strain lines. Commissioner Richard F Mitchell called a 32 to 34 cent rate last year too high.
