ASK COPY OF RATE AGREEMENT
Minnesota Shippers Seek Light on
Railroad Tariff on Coal

association and the Hastings Mating
company through their attorney,
James Mahan, filed motion with the
state railway and warehouse commits
sion today, demanding that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway
furnish a copy of the secret agree
ment between that railroad and the
Northern Pacific railroad as to the coal
rates to be charged between Hastings,
Mimi. and Duluth
The railroads had refused to allow
an inspection of the agreement. The
railway commission put the matter
before Attorney General Young for adj
vice as to whether or not mandamus
proceedings should be begun.
Attorney General Young advised the
commission to establish rate on coal
between the two points as near as
the commission could guess as to what
the rate in the agreement was, and
that in doing so it would bring the
railroads itno the open with less de-
lay than mandamus proceedings would
entail The commission will follow

founder of the republican party, drew
his every inspiration.
Lincoln, speaking in independence

words of patriots dead of Washington,

to which it's extremes must lead"
Of Jefferson, who wrote: IF |

Of Jackson, who wrote: "In every
section party and party feeling should
be avoided.
Of Lincoln, who said: "The party

Our greatest statesmen, our national
