PROTEST AGAINST
RAISING Rates
JoDbers Meet With Railway Commits
sioners IN Minot-Rate on All In
portant Commodities May Be In
creased.

The members OF the railway COM
mission of the state held a most i'm
,portant meeting in this city yester-
day and today. The most important
matter considered was the proposed
cnange in freight rates BY the var
ious railway lines. II the new ache,
dule is permitted, the rates will be
increased from Is per cent to Is per
~ent on all a. the more important
commodities, and naturally this will
mean another increase in the al
ready extraordinary high cost of liv-
ing. The railways lave extended the
time OF making these rates effective
TO June Is, but on April Is, the mat.
ter will be considered by the inter-
state commerce commission in Wash
ington, D. G.
The Minot jobbers who are against
the plan, met with the commission
today. Arrangements were made for
the traffic committee of the CONNER
cial club to secure data concerning
the amount OF freight received and
sent out from Minot during the past
year. comparing the old rate with
the proposed new rates. This sche-
dule will be forwarded to the rail-
way commission soon.
In many cases the increase ia ex.
cessive., For instance, the rate on
car of mixed machinery from Chi.
cago to Des Moines is increased
from $14. so to $500. The rate on
cars dI ice boats and cars of acids,
with other lesser important commo-
dities have been reduced. The OBJ
ject is to induce customers to order
straight car loads of the same kind
of material, as much as possible.
The commission received pro-
test from the citizens of Surrey
who object strenuoualy to the pro
posed removal Of the depot to the
junction one-half a mile west. The
commission will consider the mat
ter and the company will probably
be ordered to not move the struc-
ture.
Ray asked lor a loading platform.
Atty. Lambert appeared for Truaz
Bros, the Noonan miners, who ask
that a spur be built mile south Of

to put up a bond to comply with the
law. This is to be test case.
A petition was received from Tay.
lor, N. D., asking that No. 8 and 6
be stopped. The company was or
dered to stop No. s, on flag.

and did many other things which only a

when II was morning and he could start
