R. R, and Other Carriers Anonunce| Reductions in Westbound Freight Rates Production of coal in the Central Pennsylvania field thus far in Novem- ber has been upon about the same basis as in October. The loadings in ‘the first eight days of the month were 15,061 cars, as against 15,684 cars in the same period last month. The slight reduction was due to election day when comparatively little work was done. In the week ending November 8, the loading were 14,420 cars, as against 12,647 cars in the week ending Novem- ber 1. The advent of the hunting season has also tendered to keep down | production at many of the operations since November 1. { Annauncement was made last week at the offices of the Central Penn- sylvania Coal Producers’ Association that, effective on October 24, the Penn- | sylvania Railroad and other carriers | made a voluntary reduction of 25 cents a ton in the westbound freight rates | | from the Broad Top field on prepared | | sizes of coal: a reduction of 15 cents in the origin territory in the vicinity |of Altoona and a 10 cent reduction to the group east of Latrobe. While a greater benefit would. accure |if these reductions applied to east- {bound shipments, they will neverthe- {less help. A great deal of coal in prepared sizes is now going out of the | district in competition with hard coal] for domestic purposes. The coal district is continuing to {reap some benefits from the long con- | tinued drought. Many of the power | companies in the east have been forc- | led to use their coal burning standby | plants in place of the hydro-electric | plants because of the low waters in the | | rivers. i} big it is, know, is 211 Chase that cold weather sluggishness YOUR Ford car was designed and built to perform dependably and economically year after year — with ! no time-out for winter!
