The railroad commission has had
4 great many inquiries on this point
from South Dakota shippers and
Tor the benefit of the public gener
ally the commission states that the
decision in question only covers
business beginning and ending
within the state of Minnesota.
&c Under the Minnesota law relat-
ing to the settlement of such over
charges as would occur in case the
railroads refused to obey the rate
reduction law and were defeated
in the courts, the railroads have
been compelled to report to the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission monthly the name of
every shipper and the amount col
lected on everv shipment of goods
in order that, in case the state won
its case. the commission would be
able to see that every shipper re-
ceived the refund to which he would
be entitled in such an event. I'm
der this law the railroads will pay
to the state Of Minnesota the gross
Iai1lount Of the refund and the com
nY5Ssion will sett}e with clainaHts.
