EXTEND ORDER
THIRTY DAYS ON
CARSJOR COAL
Interstate Commerce Board
Continues Restriction of Use
Of Open Top Cars to
Fuel Shipments.
hlenco Trihunr-Omikhn lira l.fril Wire.
Washington. July 14. Despite the
pleas of building and ro;id material
interests for the cancellation of the
order confining the use of open
top cars to coal, the Interstate Com-
im-rce commission todav extended
its effect for an additional 30 days,.
as requested by the railroads.
The order as modified now runs
60 days from June 21.
As a concession to sonic of t!
industries which have clamored for
cars, the commission defined coal
cars as not including flat bottom
gondola cars with sides less than 36
inches in height, cars equipped with
rack or cars which, on June IV,
had been definitely retired from
service of coal and assigned to otlu.
service.
Today's modified 'order gives pref
erence to shipment of coal to pub
lic utilities and it is provided that
coal consigned to public utilities
may not be reconsigned to other
pvblic utilities. The requirement
that coal cars shall !)C unloaded in
24 hours is modified to relieve the
shipper if delay is due to the fault
of the railroad and exception is also
made as to coal moving under per
mit to coal pools.
In a letter to Daniel Willard,
chairman of the advisory committee
of the Association of Railway Ex
ecutives, E. M. Clark, chairman of
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, explains why no special provi
sion was made in today's modified
order to take care of lake shipments
to the northwest.
"It will be noted that no especial
recoenition is given to the lake car
tm situation." said Mr. Clark. "It
is understood that this is the subject
of detailed discussion among the
ccal operators themselves to be fol
lowed immediately by a conference
with various railroad executives and
that we will be advised as to the
determinations readied. We have not
thought it proper to attempt to ueai
with this situation by order until
we know the result of such delibera
tions." Chairman Clark urged that the
carriers take steps to bring the prac
tice of reconsignment of cars under
ioad with coal down to the unavoid
able minimum. Mr. Clark said the
commission was not prepared to say
that all reconsignment of coal
should be prohibited, but thought
it would be a very unusual sit
uation in which more than one rc
tonsignment should be permitted.
