WASlrllNGTON. Aug. 13.-—-A
sharp reduction in railroad rates on
West Virginia. low \ollttlle coals was
, ordered yesterday by the Interstate
- . Commerce Commission. with the de-
clared purpose of making these
‘ fuels, which are generally regarded
as a substitute for anthracite in
household ilt‘:ttlll'.:. available on rea-
sonable terms to w nsumers in New
England and .tl!:intic sculiourd

l. New Schedules
Railroads aching the West Vir-
ginia lit-ids and carriers in the east-
. ern districts were. ordered to make
new schedules effecting the purpose
by October 15. The action termin-
ated an investigation which the
commission undertook with the
Federal Coal commission before it
was discontinued. and was designed
. to meet a. situation in which the
. ‘ consumer on anthracite, because of
frequent labor troubles and short-
age. was said to be subject to "a
perpetual sellers' market."
No general reduction in anthra-
cite rates was found possible though
the commission ordered a few local
, reductions, affecting notably North
Carolina and Port Richmond. Pa..
