Rates on Coryn. Finance Committee Considers Speeth Weering
Washington June 28 The Senate Prinnies Committee held a large Tepnbittean gathering at the Aringston hotel to discuss coal rates and a reciprocal arrangement with Canada. No final decision was reached as the committee adjourned to reconvene tomorrow morning. Some argued for a four cent per ton coal rate while others aimed to push Western coal to Canada for an extra million tons annually, hoping a Liberal ministry move to reduce import duties would align with a reciprocal US deal. One member suggested a seven and a half cent per ton rate as ideal but without reciprocal provisions.
