of the session.
Speaker Hanley announced his COM

county members of the senate stand a
good show TO retain their old chair
manships, but changes in the heads of
many of the committees may be de-
cided upon before they are formally
given out
1t is definitely known Senator La

The battle for lower express rates on
laundry shipments in North Dakota is
on today.
The railroad commission began its
session this morning and the big bat"
tie between the express companies and
the clean clothes men is now in fun
swing. The laundrymen contend that
the rates OH finished laundry work are
too high and they expect to prove this
to the commissioners and to secure
lower rates.
The different railroads or express
companies interested are represented
by: e. w. Bennett, superintendent of
the Northern Express Cb., which is
controlled by the Northern Pacific rail-
road; Route Agent Collins of the North
ern; S. A. Davis, superintendent of the
Western Express Co.. which is con-
trolled by the 500 line; Superintendent
Owens with the Great Northern and
Attorney Duggan of Grand Forks, who
is appearing for the express companies
Among the laundrymen who are
present are A. L. Johnson of Devils
Lake; w. A. Collins of Grand Forks;
Paul Myers Of Wahpeton; j. c. Hal
stead of jamestown and the Fargo
are represented by F. B.
Leach.
The laundrymen are also represent
ed by their attorney, Guy c. HI. Corliss
of Grand Forks.
This afternoon the testimony of the
Iaundrymen is being heard as we'll as
the statements of the different express
companies, but it is not at all likely
that the commission will make a de-
cision at this time.
