IMPORTANT DECISION RENDERED
In MINNESOTA RATE
CASES
THE STATE Will APPEAL

ST. Paul, Mimi, April 1O.-Judge
Walter H. Sanborn, senior United
States circuit Judge, eighth judicial
district, in an exhaustive opinion
handed down has decided the Mime
sofa rate cases against the members
of the Minnesota State Railway Com
mission on the grounds that the ne
cessary effect of the reductions or
dered was substantially to regulate
interstate commerce, to create unjust
determinations between localities in
Minnesota and those in adjoining
States in violation of the commercial
the properties of the railroad com
panies without just compensation in
violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution. The suits
were brought by stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company,
the Great Northern Railway Company.
and the Minnesota & st. Louis Rail
road Company against those compa-
nies, the Attorney General and the
members of the railway and ware
house commission of Minnesota, to
enjoin the reduction of the passenger
rates in Minnesota from three cents
to two cents a mile, the merchandise
rates 20 per cent to 25 per cent and
the commodity rates 737 per cent.
The railroad companies had put all
these Reductions except that on com
modify rates into effect, and the case:
were commenced and tried after the
effect of these reductions had become
the case was made through many
months before Charles E. Otis, spe
cia1 master, who reported the facts
and recommended DEGREES in favor of
the stockholders.
Judge Sanborn rendered DEGREES
which affirm the report of the mas
ter and enjoin the enforcement of the.
reductions after June 1, 1911.
Former Attorney General Of Min
nesota E. T. Young, who started the
rate suits against the railroads on
behalf Of the State, says the decision
leaves the rate-making power entirely
in the hands of the railroads and af-
fects the State Railroad and Ware
house Commission SO that it cannot
move without consulting the Federal
courts.
He says that the State will file a

Ask Mail Clerks Not To Organize.

Washington, D. c., April 10.-Sec.
retary Frank Morrison, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has an
nounced that the Post Office Depart
ment is taking vigorous steps to pre-
vent any organization of the railway
mail clerks, by asking them to sign
a pledge which reads, in part, as fol
lows:
1--WE will not join any brotherhood
or labor union while in this service" :"
letter received at the Federation
from clerk reports that the postal
clerks were called into the Office OF
the chief clerk at San Francisco and
asked to sign pledges forbidding any
connection to be had with any labor
union or organization. The letter
says:
almost all of the clerks in the San
Francisco and Los Angeles districts
are signing similar pledges. The
clerks resent this. but are afraid not
to sign it. We are afraid to start
something but would like somebody
else to do it"

.BIease vetoes Act For Distribution OF
Dispensary Fund Among Schools.

Columbia, s. c., April 10.-Governor
Blease Saturday vetoed the Stevenson
act requiring the distribution of the
100000 State dispensary fund among
the common schools. The Governor
left it to the State Board of Educa-
ton to say whether he should approve
the measure and the board, before ad
journing, unanimously voted against
the act on the ground that enrolment,
as designated by the act, is not a
proper basis for apportionment of the
fund, even f there was a way to as
certain the real enrolment. The
fund, therefore, remains for the pres
ent intact. Next January a substitute
for the Stevenson bill will be pre-
sented to the Legislature by the
State Board of Education.
