Baer Defends Low Coal Prices at Interstate Hearing
President Baer of the Reading Co.testified two hours before the Interstate Commerce Commission questioning whether lower coal rates spoliated coal fields. He argued reductions must not ruin coal companies and that Pennsylvania would protect its corporations. He noted coal freight from anthracite regions to tidewater at 155 a ton and rising costs offset gains in traffic. He defended accounting methods and stressed the need for a fair return on capital amid rising wages and expenses.
