Lake rate cases argued over rail coal shipments to lake ports

In Richmond Virginia on November 3 1915 the lake rate cases were argued before the US Court of Appeals. The questions involve whether courts may curb railroads from increasing rates on coal shipments from Pocahontas and Kanawha districts to lake ports. West Virginia and Lynchburg panels split on jurisdiction with lower courts, and the matter moves to the Interstate Commerce Commission for decision. Coal operators and several railroads sought high rates to push rivals from the lakes trade, risking a West Virginia miners monopoly by Ohio and Pennsylvania firms.
