The history of the development of an thracite mining, according to the de cision, present a series of persistent. unsuccessful struggles by the Individual operators against the conditions Imposed by the anthracite railroads. "The conduct of these carriers." the decision concluded, "extending over a long period of years. In granting to their allied coal companies concessions from and offsets against their established tariff rates presents very strong evidence th rat the rates on anthracite coal which these carriers established are excessive. If the great purpose of the act to regu late commerce is to be carried out we must require that such tariff ratea on this commodity shall be established as can be maintained on the shipments of all shippers."
