Coal Rates Held Reasonable by Commerce Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in Rice versus Georgia Railroad that Jelico Tennessee to Augusta Georgia coal transport faces different conditions than Alabama coal routes, allowing higher Jelico to Augusta charges. It also upheld water competition at Charleston and found Jellico to Augusta rates not unreasonable while ordering corrected carload reweighing methods. In Gump versus Baltimore and Ohio and similar suits, Bristol Tennessee conditions permit lower through rates via Johnson City than to Johnson City, but through Johnson City to Morristown at lower rates than to Morristown is unlawful.
