Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, »ays:
“ 1 have taken up the question with the Interstate Commerce Commission
and they informed me that they do not anticipate any reduction in coal
rates in the immediate future.”
E. Morris, Chairman of the Central Freight Ass’n, says:
<
,
The above statem ents from men who know should
dispel the expectation that the present level of freight
rates on coal will be lowered this season. Any fu rth ­
er delay in buying on this account, therefore, can
mean nothing but trouble.
The coal mines cannot produce and the railroad
cannot transport a year’s coal requirements in four
/ or five months. W hat is sought oy coal operators,
railroads and dealers, and w hat is for public welfare
is a normal demand and movement of coal—N o t-41
