Rates on coal shipping adjusted by commission
A commission found most railroad charges for loading coal onto ships were reasonable except the Virginian Railway. It ordered the Virginian Railway to refund about $60 for excessive charges and capped trimming and dumping rates at three and three and a half to four and a half cents per ton respectively. Other railways faced dismissal of complaints.
