Canadian National Railways Could Save Million on US Coal
Ottawa reports R C Vaughan told a House of Commons committee that CN Railways could save about 1,000,000 annually by using United States coal instead of Canadian fuel. CN economists noted 1,179,067 tons were bought from Maritime provinces last year and consumption may drop by about 25 percent. The panel supported Canadian industry but credited the potential saving as an acceptable course rather than an operating loss.
