Miners Protest Rail Order Cutting Cars for Non-Tipple Mines
Foster and Rucker mine owners protested a Missouri Pacific order denying coal cars to wagon mines without tipples. Prosecutor Dawson said the rule aims to speed shipments, backed by a Federal fuel commission, though officials dispute it. The ban could deprive about fifteen cars from Bates county, risking winter fuel shortages for Butler and surrounding towns. A formal protest was sent to State Fuel Administrator Wallace Crossley. If kept, county coal supply may collapse this winter.
