COAL RATES ARE REDUCED
HILL ROADS MAKE VOLUNTARY
CUT IN MINNESOTA AND
THE DAKOTAS.

st. Paul, Sept. 19.-The Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern Rail-
way companies have announced vol
untary reduction in coal rates to points
in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
In effect the reduction is an average
cut of from to 10 per cent in the old
rates and represents deep inroads into
the revenues of the two companies.
The amount is not specified, but the
commission believes that it will be
close to the 100000 mark, as the other
coal carrying roads will have to follow
suit
The rate covers both the hard and
soft products from Duluth, and Su-
perior, which are the distributing
points for the state, and while the
hard product is affected soft coal
comes in for the biggest slash. Here
the cut is as much as 40 cents ton,
this being the case at Pipestone, a
point on the Great Northern which is
a heavy factor in making distance tar
ifs.
At Pipestone the st. Paul road and
practically every other road in the
state is affected and cut that will
extend even down into Iowa and
points further West and South will be
necessitated.
