FREIGHT RATES ON COAL DEFY BUSINESS RULE Commerce Commission Decides Schedules Shall Remain Same. Times Washington Bureau. 13H Xeiv York Avenue. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Commercial coal shipped from the Pittsburgh district to Toledo, 279 miles, takes the same freight rate as that applying from other coal areas as far south as the Mcßoberts district in Kentucky, 457 miles away. Despite this seeming disregard of plain business sense, the Interstate Commerce Commission has just decided that existing- freight rates on coal shall be continued. It was a six to five decision, however. Complaint against existing rates was brought by miners and operators in the Pittsburgh and Ohio districts. They contended present rates are unduly beneficial to operators in West Virginia and Kentucky who are able to ship their coal to the lakes at virtually the same rates charged operators who are nearer the mines. One result is the Ohio mines are idle much of the time and miners are suffering from lack of employment. Me Chord Dissents Theee conditions were pointed out in the plea for a readjustment of rates, but ignored by the majority of the commissioners. Commissioner McChord in a dissenting opinion declared that southern Ohio is entitled to the advantages of geographical location. Present rates, he said, deprive the Pittsburgh and Ohio districts of benefits due them. Commissioner Eastman, in a lengthy dissenting opinion, denied the contention that distances must be ignored in order to give 'West Virgina and Kentucky fields access to northwestern markets and insure a reasonable price for coal in these markets Production in the Ohio and Pennsylvania fields, he held, is not monopolized and the supply “vastly exceeds the demand.” Eastman Cites Facts “If the northwestern markets were dependent for their coal upon these districts alone, it would not eliminate competition. It might actually result in lower prices because of the better operating conditions which would result in those districts from a strengthened demand,” Eastman said. “But, as a matter of fact, if the northwestern markets were deprived of access to Kentucky and West Virginia coal they would not be dependent upon the Ohio and Pennsylvania districts alone, but would continue to enjoy the sharp competition of the many Illinois field where, also, production is not monopolized and the supply exceeds the demand. “It is wholly fallacious to assume that more competition is needed to reduce the price of bituminous coal. What is needed is clearly steady production at the mines and also a reduction in the present gross waste of transportation in the movement of the coal to the market.” SIXTH SENSE LONDON Doctors here are are amazed at the ability of a blind rug maker to pick out almost any color, or shade of color by the sense of touch alone. The man went blind ten years ago, at the age of 40.

Message No. 3 to Contractors and Builders Enlarging Your Doorway In your business you are often called upon to enlarge the doorway of some mercantile establishment. This is more or less a matter of routine for you. But the man for whom you are doing the job is having the change made to make it easier for people to come into his store. He knows that the easier he makes it the more people will come in and the more business he will do. This is only common business logic. NOW —this same principle applies to YOUR BUSINESS. In a slightly different manner, "it’s true.” but the results will be the same. The Doorway to your business is represented by your reputation and the extent of the public acquaintance with the quality and kinds of work you do. When you enlarge this acquaintanceship you are in effect enlarging your doorway. When this Is done It is certain that more people will pass through—you will do more business—make more profits. The best plan to follow In doing this is to advertise regularly In the TIMES CLASSIFIED COLUMNS. These columns are the avenue over which tens of thousands of people pass dally. YOUR AD will be a large open DOORWAY through which streams of new customers will come at regular Intervals. Keep Your Doorway Open by Advertising Regularly in the Classified Columns Phone Your Ad MAin 3500
