users of fuel in this city get 1000
pounds when they purchase a ton of
coal, or do they get LOO or 1900 pounds,
according to the generosity Of the deal
err? In view of the continued cold
weather this query is remarkably seas
enable, and is brought out by certain
statements made by prominent citi-
zen today.
AS alleged by him, each retail dealer
in the city is a deputy weigher and
may thus deliver short weight at any
tine andrSnake his own certificate as
to the correctness of the weight. 1t
Is not claimed that all retail dealers
are dishonest, but if the conditions are
as stated there is every opportunity
afforded them to be so that could pos
sibly be desired.
1t is also said that dealers frequent
ly solicit orders for coal and that the
further allegation is made that while
the retailer orders but LOO pounds de-
livered to a certain address the certifi-
cate of weight is made out at his own
Office and invariably reads 1000 pounds,
the consumer getting the worst of it
under the impression that he is being
fully protected by the state laws and

WHICH is to be, held with the railway
and warehouse commissioners regard
ing the grain rates from southwestern
points to MINNEAPOLIS and Duluth. An,
effort will be made by the commission
ers to have the matter adjusted to the.
satisfaction Of shippers and railway
companies. Rates from that section
have always been higher than. in the
northern and western points on account
OF the greater volume. of grain ship.
ments which comes from the latter.
The grain Shipments from the west
and North are so much larger that the
roads can handle them at a reduced
rate and the, rates, are now considered
to be at the rock bottom. The ship
ments from the southwestern part of
this state and from iowa and Nebras-

ments 1t is not an unusual thing for

bushels to Minneapolis from the Red

is an unheard of thing in the south
western sections. Rates are regulated
by the volume Of business carried and
where shipments are heavy rates are
low. and where they are light they are
higher. ,e'5... .-~-
The conference tomorrow will develop
how far the roads are willing to go
