Minneapolis, Mimi, October 6:
When in 1909 an express company
charged State Senator E. Sundlberg OF
Kennedy, Kittson county, Mimi, $32
for carrying a casting worth $3.50 to
him from Minneapolis, the company
perhaps laid the foundation for an ex-
pense to the combined express compa-
nies of the country. of approximately
$26, ,000, 900 year. The casting was or
dered by telephone. Sundlberg wanted
II for his threshing machine in hur-
ry. When 1t arrived the express charge
made him mad clear through and he
swore, he says, that he would have re-
venge. Senator Sundlberg engaged
James Manahan, now Congressman
at-large from Minnesota, to bring ac-
ton before the interstate commerce
commission. The case was begun in
Minneapolis and in the following year
was carried to New York. Two days
before the case was called, the Mime
sofa statesman and his counsel went to
New York and got Commissioner Lane.
now a cabinet officer, to issue subpoe-
mas for officials Of the United States,
American, Wells Fargo and Adams
Express companies. They personally
served the subpoenas, and when the
case come up the attorney argued that
the express companies had inter lock-
ing directorates and that their rates
were unreasonable. The commissions
decision reducing the rates was filed
July 16, 1912 but litigation brought on
by the company prevented the order
issued today from being filed for more
than a year Senator Sundlberg says
he Is satisfied, and that the revenge IS
sweet.
