Rate Fight Ends As Shippers Fail To Lower Coal Freight
In Chicago on May 17 a joint conference of hard coal shippers and Western traffic officials refused the request to reduce the rate to two dollars per ton. Railroads pledged to keep the existing rate of two dollars and fifty cents. Merchants were advised that competition with Arkansas coal in Missouri river territory should come from lowering coal prices in that region rather than altering freights, since Arkansas lines would match any rate set by the railroads.
