It has also demonstrated that the railroads receive more money for transporting one ton of coal than does the coal operator who produces it. With the refusal of the presidents to co-operate, the only avenue of relie: to the coal producers and coal con- sumers was to appeal to the public service commission. “Since the post-war adjustment, coal producers have reduced their cost and selling price. Industrial consumers of coal have reduced their cost and selling price and the railroads have cost of operation, but have not reduc ed the freight rates. To restore an econ- omic balan it is necessary that the railroads join with consumers and pro- ducers of basic commodities and re- duce freight rates on bituminous coal sO as to increase production and main- tain prosperity.” 22 CONVICTS GRANTED | PARDONS BY GOVERNOR { | Appeals of Harry Simmons, Local Man Refused Twenty-two convicts spent | Fourth of July holiday outside per tiary and prison walls through pardons granted by Gov Fisher.
