Baer argues prices keep coal from ruin in Reading case
President Baer of the Reading company faced a two hour interrogation by the Interstate Commerce Commission in a continuing hearing on the coal rate dispute. He defended maintaining low freight rates while preserving fair returns, insisting reductions should not ruin coal producers or the railroad. He cited cost pressures, questioned accounting details, and warned the state may resist spoliation for national gains. He noted the Reading system has not profited, aims for a 4 percent return if possible, and warned against arbitrary price setting amid competitive conditions.

May Block City Ferry Amendment Creates Legal Doubt
President Swanstrom urged the city to operate the Thirty-ninth street ferry, but a drafting error in the amendment may prevent action. The misworded clause references Pier 3 in Manhattan, though the terminal is on the East River, and the measure risks invalidation without proper underlining and legal clearance. Dock Commissioner Hawkes favored South Brooklyn ferry plans but awaits Corporation Counsel ruling on legality.

Watterson Sees Folk as Possible Democratic Dark Horse
The Courier-Journal will quote Colonel Watterson as saying Joseph W. Folk of St. Louis is a potential Democratic presidential candidate next year. Folk could mirror Tilden in 1876 if nominated governor of Missouri, with Watterson noting Folk as a future Fourth of July orator for Tammany.
