The coal supply in Massachusetts is low due to strikes and Governor Crane suggests that the duty on coal be removed to facilitate shipment of foreign coal. He encourages Senator Lodge to back this suggestion. Crane points out that the bituminous coal field of West Virginia is operating at 28% of capacity and that the Pennsylvania Railroad could end the strike if they chose to do so.
