RAILWAY RATES
ARE RESTORED
Formal Action Has Been Taken by
Federal Circuit Court-Injunction
Is Dismissed
TWO CENT RATE IN FORCE
Following Mandate Of Supreme Court
Judge Willard Favors Former
Rate And Commodities Law.

st. Paul, July 22.-Quickly, without
formality or red tape, Judge c. A.
Willard of the United States circuit
court of Minnesota, dismissed the cir
cult court injunction against seven
railroads in the state and Officially re-
stored to effective operation the, Min
lesota 2-cent rate and commodities
laws, and cleared the way for cOnsid-
Grafton of the cases Of the three roads
not affected by the mandates of the
supreme court.
The motion for the dismissal of the
injunctions was made by Attorney
Pierce Butler, representing the stock
holders of the roads involved. r.
The injunctions were granted to the
railroads in 1911 by Federal Judge w.
H. Sanborn of the circuit court, who
held the state rate law was unconsti.
tutional and confiscatory. The su.
preme court reversed this. . e.
The roads against which the injunc-
tons were dismissed are: Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, Chi.
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and
Northwestern and the 500. A decree
will be entered by the court in favor
of the state officers, attorney genera!
and the railroad and warehouse com.
missioners, dismissing the injunctions
against these roads and assessing the
costs for the trials. -. H.
Status of the M. and St. L.
The status of the case of the gov.
eminent against the Minneapolis and
st. Louis road was presented to the
court by Pierce Butler, representing
the stockholders. &c.. -@ 81
The mandate of the supreme court
in this case provided that a modifica.
ton Of the injunction could be made at
the request of the stockholders of the
road or by the state. This ruling Of
the higher court was affirmed by Judge
Ter.
The case OF the Chicago Great West
ern Railroad company is held not to
be affected by the ruling of the higher
court, since it's earnings have not been
sufficient to warrant the enforcement
of the 2-cent rate.
A motion was made by the attorneys
that this road be permitted to change
some of its rates, not to conform with
the rate law of the state, but to meet
competition. The motion was granted
by Judge Willard.
Attorney Charles Donnelly, repre-
sentipg the Minnesota and Information
al Railroad company, appeared before
the court and explained the status Of
that road, which is not compelled by
the ruling of the court to make a re
duction of the passenger rate. The In
ternational road will voluntarily make
this reduction, said Mr.. Donnelly.

MAY BELONG TO BOTH
Minnesota Woodmen Organize Nom
inally Until First Convention Is
Held.
0'N1EL IS PRESIDENT

! ...-l - Z. - q
The Minnesota Woodmen have at
fected temporary organization by
selecting the following officers to go
on the articles of incorporation:
Pres. D. P. O'Niel, Thief River
Falls - 49, ~.,@.i =. ..,.. 81 F..
Vice-Pres. w. s. Gulkerson, Mpls.
Secretary, G.. M. Peterson. Duluth.
Treasure c. L. Swenson, Albert Lea.
Field Mdr. J. L. Sunbeam, Mpls.
These officers will not have active
duties but will be the nominal Off
GERS until the first state convention is
held. It is likely that the first state
convention will be held during the
state Fair week.. At that time perma-
nent officers will be elected, and
these officers will have active duties.
An interesting feature in the de-
velopment of the situation is the
ruling of former Attorney General
George Simpson, and great num-
Der of other lawyers, to the effect
that the Woodman Bill was left in
such form after it's amendment in the
senate that members who Join the
state society can still retain their
membership in the parent order thus
enabling them if they so like to
double their insurance. ~ s. =
Should the plan prevail under
which the Woodmen may double
their insurance, it is considered that
the outcome will be a great advant-
age to families of Woodmen in the
state of Minnesota, and this plan will
eliminate in large measure the bit
terness between the factions in this
state.

! CENT FARE EFFECTIVE
Rate To Duluth over Great Northern
And NJ. & l. Is 10 For 1870
Miles
LOCAL AGENT CANNOT EXPLAIN

Two cent rate on the railroads out
of Bemidji to points in the state
went into effect at l2.01 o'clock
Monday morning, July 81, which is
Ia reduction of just one third of the
fare paid previous to this time. The
new freight rates are also in effect.
Change After Two years
Prior to midnight Monday night
and dating back to July 1, 1911, the
fare on the roads in Minnesota was
three cents per mile. The state of Min
nesota enacted two-cent law in the
summer of 1907 andSthis rate was in,
effect until the roadsswere ordered to
return to the old rate of three cents
per mile which order went into eff
feet July l, 1911. Is
The state of Minnesota appealed
from this order to the supreme court
of the United States and the judg-,
ment of that court was that the two
cent rate was fair and should have
been in force since the time the law
was enacted by thestate of Mime
sofa. The reduced rates at this time
is the result of this decision of the
court.
The new rate is however not en-
tirely effective to all points in the
state from Bemidji. Take for instance
the fare to Duluth, which under the
new rate over the Great Northern
and M. & 1. is $4.10,S and over the
500 is $3.50. 1t is just $50 miles to
Duluth over the Great. Northern and
179 over the 500. Why the charge diff
fers between these two roads is ex-
planned by R. E. Fisher, ticket agent
as probable mistake In the tariff.
If the charge of two cents per mile
were effective, the rate to Duluth
would be $50 times 2 cents of $3.50,
plus one half cent aamiles for distance
of 30 miles through Wisconsin or l S
cents making the proper charge of
1915 !: ~.
T The present best rate over two of
our roads is $4.10 or 2 5-18 cents
per mile. Why the extra charge,
could not be explained by the local
agents, but efforts will be made to
secure the facts for public informa-
ton. The old rate to Duluth has been
less than 3 cents per mile or $4.93
for $50 miles. The reason for this
charge will also be explained, accord
ing to the local agents. -,
