companies have continued to sell on 

 the open market at $1 per ton. The 

 major producers of better coal, how- 

 ever, are holding firmly at $1.25 for 

 mine run and, what is more to the 

 point, shipments on contract have been 

 increasing within the last week. The 

 outlook for smokeless is better today, 

 regardless of the low prices, than it 

 has been for the last month. ' ' 



WEIOHINa FUEL IN CARLOADS. 



A Proposed New Set of Bules. 



One of the most important of recent 

 developments in the coal trade is the 

 movement toward the adoption of a new 

 system of rules for the weighing of 

 coal and coke in carloads. Representa- 

 tives of the American Railway Associa- 

 tion and the Industrial TraflRc League, 

 acting at the suggestion of the Inter- 

 state Commerce Commission, have been 

 engaged for some months .in an attempt 

 to prepare a new set of rules. It ap- 

 pears, however, Jtha^ the coal shippers 

 themselves had no oirect voice in the 

 deliberations until the \ime arrived for 

 what was supposed to be ^the final meet- 

 ing, held in the Hotel La Salle, Chicago. 

 Then a few coal men werd invited to be 

 present for the purpose of "suggesting 

 some minor changes- in Ithe proposed 

 rules." As might have been expected, 

 it was soon discovered that "minor 

 changes" would not suffice. The coal 

 men declared that "the rules did not 

 cover coal conditions and were not sat- 

 isfactory in any large way either to 

 the receivers or shippers of coal." 



Perceiving the need of instant action,

the Chicago Coal Merchants' Associa- 

 tion, composed of both producers and 

 retailers, undertook the task of prepar- 

 ing some rules that would really work. 

 This organization seems to have han- 

 dled the matter in a painstaking and 

 impartial way, realizing that coal oper- 

 ators, carriers and consignees must all 

 be satisfied, and that nothing would 

 have the slightest chance of satisfying 

 them but absolute and guaranteed ac- 

 curacy in methods of weighing. 



The first step in the proceedings was 



to appoint a committee of twenty-two 

 operators and twenty-two retailers. This 

 committee, after some preliminary dis- 

 cussion, appointed a sub-committee of 

 eleven to do the work of actually draft- 

 ing the rules. When completed, the 

 rules were adopted by the Chicago Coal 

 Merchants' Association, which then re- 

 solved that "the draft of these rules 

 as adopted should be presented to the 

 various associations of retail dealers 

 and operators throughout the United 

 States for their amendment or approval.
