Complaints Enter
ed Against R. R.
United Commercial Travellers CON-
plain Of Service Between
andan and Beach

The North Dakota board Of rail-
road commissioners held special
meeting at the capitol last week
at which time a protest against
the services Of the N. P. between
Beach and Mandan was entered by
the United Commercial Travellers.
The members of this organiza-
tion claim that since the inaugu-
ration of the new service a couple
Of months ago they have not been
able to make any time in getting
over the road as they are not al
lowed to ride on freight trains as
heretofore. One instance was
noted where it takes "a hours to
cover territory of Twenty-Five
miles, and in some cases it is i'm
possible to make more than two
towns a day unless there is an
endless amount Of doubling"
done. The petitioners for the bet
ter services say that although there
has been one more passenger. train
added to the time card it makes
no difference with them as they
have only one local train each way.
Nos. Is and 16. They claim in
their petition that they, who are
paying full fare every day, are
Disseminated again in favor of
the passengers for the coast, who
make only one trip over the road
in many years and are also travel
ing on greatly reduced fare.
Another complaint lodged with
the railroad commission was from
towns between Jamestown and Nc
Kenzie. who claim they are dis
eliminated against in the matter
of rates to terminals as compared
with other towns in practically the
same location and at the same dis
lance from the market. The mat
ter will be taken up by the COM
mission and if there is found to be
merit in the case action will be
taken in time to be in effect for
the shipments Of fall grain.
Cattle shippers west of the Mis-
souri, river on the N. P. also came
to the front with petition in
which they claimed there was an
unjust discrimination made against
them and in favor of shippers east
of the river. The minimum load
of live stock for a thirty-six foot
car from points west of the Mis-
souri, river is $4,000 pounds and
from points east of the river %, 1000,

and those west of the river want
the commission to look into the
matter and discover if possible
whether there is any justice in the
difference in rates.
Most of the time of the commits
sion was taken up in passing on the
bonds of elevators, grain ware
houses and flour mills in the state.
The commission receives every day
large punches Of bonds and it is
expected that there will be nearly
5000 licensed warehouses in the
state for the purchase of wheat.
There are number of houses that
have not made any attempt to fur
nish bonds and we are informed
that there will be something doing
as soon as they attempt to buy
wheat or other grain without a
license issued by the railroad COM
mission.
