Coal Freight Rate Ruling Reversed By Supreme Court
The supreme court reversed a Public Service commission order upholding an 83 cent coal freight rate from Coal river field to South Charleston. The ruling remanded for further proceedings to fix a reasonable rate as three coal companies protested the rate, which contrasts with 55 cents for Cabin Creek field. The case highlights competition for the South Charleston industrial market of over 600,000 tons annually.
