Mrs. Mayme Burnett Enderlin, and a brother, Reinhold Sorg Enderlin of Pittsburgh. "Something bett seems increasingly I8f Jor twenty 1 i A i who came bark to what is called the disastrous effect of the freight rate to the lake was given by Mr. using as an example tbe experience of the Francis mine near Burgetts-town operated by him. This mine is completely eouioned with me chanical apparatus and for years its production was disposed of in tbe lake market to a customer maintaining a most friendly relation with the witness, frequently visiting htm 'at Pittsburgh and by whom Mr.

(Baton waa engaged as consulting engineer. During 1921 this consumer was forced to terminate this contract for his coal supply. Mr. Baton testified, for the reason that he could not meet the low price of coal from the fields ander the favored freight rate granted them. The witness said bo could have retained this trade, even at some addition over his competitors, but that they offered coal at a price below bis cost of production and that he has not shipped a ton of lake cargo coal since that time.

Commissioner Henry C. HalL. pre siding at the hearing, developed b7 tfie witness mat otner coaj oistncis nearer the lake than tbe complain-iKg districts and granted a more favorable freight rate, do not compete In the lake trade, chiefly because of the inferior quality of their coal. Mr. Goodyear gave comprehensive testimony in rebuttal with the aid of extensive tables.

Regarding the charge of saturation of traffic and the defense assertion that the Pittsburgh district should be relieved of coal traffic, he produced comparisons during 192 J. the last year that any of the carriers affected had any transportation difficulties. Prefaced by a quotation from a report of the Interstate Commerce Commission of the remarkable manner in which the carriers emerged from their difficulties during that year. Mr. Goodyear rhowed that the recovery on the northern lines was prompt and accomplished much sooner than on the southern lines, indicating that the former are at least as well if not better qualified to handle an increased coal tonnage and that the northern lines were nowhere near the saturation point.

He showed that while the car supply at the mines on northern lines was extremely bad early in that year the difficulty had been overcome generally about June 1 and entirely about July 1. while oa the southern lines car shortages at the respective mines vt)rpe turned Into a surplus at about the same dates and that the accumulation of cars on northern lines was not nearly so severe at any time during that year as on northern lines. Refutes Cleveland Story. As to testimony of the Pennsylvania Railroad given by Noah B. Smith, trainmaster at the Cleveland yards, to the effect that cars baulins lake cargo coal to that point were re turned to Pittsburgh with only a comparatively small percentage loaded with ore.

Mr. Goodyear declared that the basis of comparison employed was imposmble. and that as the result of an Investigation at the Cleveland arda which he had directed sines tho te.Umony 'was given he had found that ouch cars were not susceptible of checking because of tbe large quantity of illegibly numbered cars. Q. D.

Brooke, general manager of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, waa cross-examined by E. S. BallArd, counsel for the Ohio district, with regard to previous testimony that the out-of-pocket cost, or actual train cost ibf haul from point of origin to destination from the Logan field to Toledo should be computed at 71 cents a ton to show the low operating cost of the haul. r. Brooke also had previously charged that the saturation point had been reached in tbe Pittsburgh district.

Fixed Charges Ignored. Mr. Ballard traced by tbe witness larre expenditures far farilities and equipment, the coat Of terminals and yards and tbe cost of the large dock at Toledo and obtained an admiuvon from him that his cost study had Included nothing for interest and carrying charges on that Investment, only a part of the maintenance cist and nothing for taxes. tore shows, as they sat in their LOCAL COAL SURPRISE Oawtlawad traaa First Fso. and efficiently handle the increased tonnago with ease.

They would care for considerably more tonnage than esprienced In the banner year of 1923. they showed. Mr. Mirwilck asserting that his road could accommodate 23 per cent more lake cargo tonnaga, as well as a' similar percentage of additional total freight. Mr.

Snyder said that his road could handle a considerable additional lake cargo tonnage and that It had never reached Its capacity and showed that a preponderance of southbound traffic from the lake to Pittsburgh now carried by the road In tho transportation of oro. bearing a relation of two-thirds to one-third northbound traf fic, could be transferred into a pre ponderance of northbound traffic without difficulty. The effect of thla may be gleamed from the fact that tho tonnage han dled by that road for the first nine months of 13? represents 11.000. tons of southbound tonnage ana 5.000.000 tons of northbound tonnage. Mr.

Miiuilck went beyond a contra diction that tbe saturation point of transportation bad been reached in the Pittsburgh district by asserting that no congestion had been experienced In the district since the war. but on the contrary, congestion bad been met at the northern connections of hla road. The general managers appeared in response to subpenaa obtained by counsel for the complainants, not as voluntary witnesses, which waa made clear by August Gutheim. counsel for tha Pittsburgh district. Tbey were called to refute the defense charges of saturation of traffic In the Pittsburgh district.

Strong Case Presented. The session today was most productive for the complaining Pittsburgh snd Ohio districts. By cross-examination of witnesses for the defense, which has been deferred In several Instances, and tha Introduction of witnesses In rebuttal, the important points made by the defence ware successfully controverted. Tha charge thai the mines in the complaining fields were not adequately provided with mechanical equipment for preparation and handling of coal, and therefore suffered In competition with tha Southern mines, waa dissipated by testimony showing tha Northern mines had been equipped with such facilities where the quality of the coal and the requirements of markets demand. "This question of fancy screening has nothing to do with the lake trade." declared C.

J. Goodyear, secretary of the Pittsburgh Coal Operators take Rate Committee, appearing In rebuttal, and with the submission of voluminous tables of statistics he laid the way for the testimony of the two Pittsburgh railroad officials by showing tha ready manner In which tha Northern districts absorbed traffic and the requirement. of transportation facilities under pressure of production, contrasted to the difficulty with which thy Southern districts met this problem. Testimony presented by. tha Penn sylvanla Railroad to show that the I haul of ore In the Pittsburgh district I if, a 0uy i i a i and empty cars to the southern districts did not assume larse propor tions shown by the complainants also waa met vy Mr.

uooayear woo termed the defense figures impossible. The defense in one Instance presented additional direct testimony by James D. Francis, vice president of tbe Island Creek Coul Company, probably the largest producer In the southern fields, who testified on recent increases in wages granted to miners in the southern fields. He said these increases generally brought the southern miners from compensation approximately equivalent to the 1917 union scale to the 1924 scale, although union scales are not in effect In the southern fields. According to the witness, these in creases generally tend to remove the advantage of 45 rents which has pre vailed In the southern mines as against the northern mines effec tive November 1.

The reason for the increase, he said was the boom caused by the demand abroad because of the Kngllah strike, as well aa the resulting competition for labor felt by tbe southern mines. While the strike abroad has terminated its ef fect would be felt for a few months. he said. Ho also showed the tre mendous drop In price that followed in the wake of the settlement of that strike by stating that last Saturday he paid $2 a ton for coal at the mine in the southern fields while few wejcs ago the price was 6.W. George S.

Baton, mining engineer of Pittsburgh, last witness of tbe day gave important testimony to combat the charge of inferior mechanical equipment In the Northern mines. To dispute the testimony of W. A. Wel- din, Pittsburgh engineer who offered testimony to support this charge at the previous session, he produced specific compilations of mechanical equipment at mines In the Pittsburgh district. Mr.

Baton declared that to properly appraise the value of such equipment It is necessary to divide the Pittsburgh district into the eastern and western divisions, which had not been done by the defense witness and which be said is a customary pro cedure. He showed that less equip ment la required at mines In the eastern division for the reason that the coal produced In it is of better quality and cleaner, requiring less preparations, and showed that the mines in this division are adequately equipped for the demands of the markets. In the western division of the dis trict, where steam coal is produced as compared to gas and by-product coal produced in the eastern division wbere the character of the coal ds not lend itself so readily to screening and cleaning, mechanical equipment Is therefore more necessary aa has been provided. In response to the charge of the defense that old mines In the Pitts burgh district are uneconomical of operation he vigorously affirmed the contrary and declared that old mines are probably the most economical of operating and have an indefinite life, dependent upon tbe adjoining acreage.
