Seek to Block Rate Reduction in Indiana Express Services
Indianapolis May 3 Six express companies doing business in Indiana filed suit in federal court to enjoin the Indiana railroad commission from putting into effect a planned rate reduction from 10 to 12 percent. The commission had ordered a revision on March 30, with the new schedule to take effect Saturday. The action tests the validity of the commission’s authority to arbitrarily cut express rates in interstate commerce and could save more than $100,000 annually in express charges for customers, given the state’s $1,000,000 annual express business.

Waste at Coal Mines Prompts Call for Better Mining
Washington officials of the United States Geological Survey report that about 200 million tons of coal are wasted annually in U S mining due to improper methods. Half the coal underground, pillars and low quality seams cause loss, with rising costs for deeper, more dangerous mining. Government tests show gas engines use far less coal than steam, and even low grade fuels like lignite and bone coal yield more power in gas engines, signaling vast western coal potential.
