Rate expert W M Daniels heard testimony on proposed freight increases for coal to South Dakota points. Kelley of the South Dakota Railroad Commission argued the higher 10 cent per ton rise would discriminate against the state, hinder industrial growth, and slow coal supply. He cited longer hauls and higher per ton costs, with coal users facing an annual rise likely over $1,000 statewide.
