freight from Minneapolis and st. Pau!
to points as far as 500 miles distant on
the transcontinental line Of the chi
cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in
North and South Dakota were pro-
nounced unjust and unreasonable to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The railroad was ordered to cease
charging the condemned rates and TO
put in effect before September l new
schedule which will not De greater than
rates named by the commission.
The decision was IN a long, hard
fought case brought by the Minneapolis
Civic and Commercial Association,

elimination against the manufacturers
and merchants Of ST. Paul and Mime
apolis and the people living in the
affected territory. The St. Paul Asso-
citation of Commerce and the South Da-
kota Railroad Commission interviewed
in support of the complaint. The Chi
cago Association Of Commerce, Sioux
City Traffic Bureau and the Sioux Falls
Commercial Club opposed II. The CON
tention that the rates rom st. Paul
and Minneapolis were a discrimination
when compared to those in effect from
Chicago, Milwaukee. Sioux City, " mana
and Duluth was sustained.
