PROTESTS MACHINERY RATE.
Thresher Men Want Old Charqe on
Repairs Restored,

Fargo, Sept. "a big fight is on
here before the North Dakota railroad
commission over what is termed the
return rate on agricultural indictments
for repair. Prior to May, 1910, manu-
facturers of agricultural implements
were entitled to ship back to their
factory defective machinery for repair
at one-haf of the regular rate on new
machinery.
The railroads claim that this priv
lege was being abused, that the manu-,
facturers We're shipping back scrap
iron and other goods not properly I'm,
der the classification of defective ma.
chinery, and that the goods took a
higher rate and wiped out the lower
rate. The present fight is to have
this old one-half rate restored.
The Minneapolis Threshing Machine
company is the company making the
protest, although it is backed by prac,
tically all other machinery manufac-
tuners. Commissions Of a number OF
other states, including Minnesota, have
restored the old rate.
