just by the state and United States
supreme courts. But the railroads
plainly told us that they would contest
the reduction, if made, and would
fight 1t through all the courts.
1T would take four years to finally
get decision from the United States
supreme court, So with the other COM
missioners, decided that it was far
better to accept the compromise now,
and have the 10 or Is per cent reduc-
ton go into effect Immediately than to
have the present rate maintained for
four years, while waiting for a de-
cision.
Il think the shippers and manufac-
turerS of Minnesota will agree with us
as 1t gives them an immediate reduc-
ton In lumber and coal rates, and eS-
tablishes a tariff schedule considerably
less than is in vogue in any other
Northwestern state.
Shippers Demand Reduction.
The fight for lower coal and lumber
rates began several months ago, when
several Litchfield coal dealers asked
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission to lower the rates, as the tariff
schedules were alleged to be excessive
was held May 10, when evidence was
introduced to show the then existing
rates in Minnesota were from Is to 20
per cent higher than the rates in vogue
in Wisconsin, Iowa and other neigh
boring states. Tables to show that the
rates for hauls of like distances were
higher in Minnesota than In Wisconsin
We're offered as evidence.
On June 10 the railroads answered
and admitted that in some cases the
rates were higher than in the states
mentioned by the complaining parties
But the attorneys and traffic managers
representing the roads commended that
the higher rates were just and rea-
sonable, as the cost of maintaining
railroads sin Minnesota is higher and
far greater than the cost of construe-
ton and maintenance in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Iowa.
not be convinced that the difference In
cost of operation was sufficiently great
as to warrant so vast q difference in
the schedule of rates.
Less than week ago 1t became ap-
parent that the commission was about
to order sweeping reduction. The
railroads then asked for conference
and for the past four days sessions
have been held daily with the commits
sfoners. The result of the conference
was yesterdays settlement, by COM
promising the proposed reduction on
the part of the commission and the ac-
ceptance of the 10 and Is per cent cut
by the railroads without contest.
Among the railroad officials present
at yesterdays conference when the agree
ment was signed were: Marvin Hughitt
Jr., Chicago & North Western; James T
Clark, Omaha; W. M. Hopkins, Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis; R. G. Brown, Rock ISL
Stohr. Great Western, and J. M Hanna
ford. Northern Pacific.

RAILROADS AGREE
TO REDUCTION IN
FREIGHT RATES
Coal and Lumber Tariff Seized
ules to Be Cut Ten and Fiji
teen Per Cent Respectively
Reduction Is a Compromise.

A reduction of 10 per cent in coal
rates and Is per cent in lumber rates
between points in Minnesota will be
made Immediately by all railroads OPP
Grating in the state.
A compromise between the railway
warehouse commission was effected
yesterday afternoon. after conference
of four days duration. Concessions
were made by the commissioners and
the roads, and as a result there will be
an immediate reduction in the general
coal and lumber rates.
To the railroads the reduction means
an annual loss of over 100000 in their
gross earnings. while the manufact-
turers and shippers of Minnesota are
given a schedule of rates lower than
is now In vogue in other Western or
Northwestern states.
On lumber the reduction in rates
will be made according to distances
between points. There will be no cut
in the present rates where the haul is
less than forty miles. On hauls be-
tween forty and seventy five miles the
reduction will be gradually made until
the IS per cent cut is reached. For
all hauls where the distance is seven
tyfive miles or over a fiat reduction
of is per cent will be made.
Some Points Excepted.
A practical reduction of 10 per cent
is made in the hard coal rate. There
are a few points to which the cut does
not apply, but in every instance where
the reduction is not applicable the
present rate is at least as low as 8
mills per ton per mile. The reduction
of 10 per cent does not apply to the
coal tariff now in force between Du-
luth and the Twin Cities. which rate
is conceded by the commission to be
reasonable and just.
One of the clauses stipulated in the
new agreement is that the rate on soft
coal must not be higher than the tariff
on anthracite. The general reduction
on hard coal is for all distances up
to the 800 mile limit which practical
ly covers the entire state, with the
exception of the three or four points
named in the settlement.
The compromise gives the shippers
and manufacturers of the state a re-
duction of about one-half of that ask
ed at the general hearing, held May Is.
The cut in rates demanded at that
time equaled a reduction of about rs
and 80 per cent, or a rate correspond
ing to that established by the commits
sion between Duluth and New Ulm.
While there is no clause in the
compromise agreement mentioning the
New Ulm rate case, it is definitely
understood that the commission will
not force the railroads to install the
rate between Minneapolis. Duluth and
New Ulm ordered by the court, but
will accept the 10 per cent reduction
on coal as part Of the compromise
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis and
the other lines interested.
Commission Is Satisfied.
Judge Ira B. Mills, in discussing the
settlement last night, said:
TT was the best settlement that we
could get from the railroads. At first
was in favor of holding out for rate
on coal and lumber similar to that

In his last year he was certain of
graduating. He had even selected The

caused his spirits to droop. He lacked

He did net graduate, but continued
in the weather service. He was sent

Car No. SIS on the Elm street line is
in the shop undergoing repairs as the
result of an accident that took place
at Second avenue and Tenth street
late Yesterday afternoon. The car
was bowling along at a merry clip at
the above place, when suddenly it left
the rails and shot off diagonally
across the paving for a tree. The mo-
torman staid with the car and set the
brakes, but was unable to check the
momentum and entirely avoid col
IiSion. The fender and forward part
of the car were considerably damag-
ed and after it had been replaced on
the rails ii was taken direct to the
shops.
