With The TRAVELLERS
EXCESS BAGGAGE
CASE SOON HEARD

On Feb. 10 the excess baggage case,
so long agitated, will come before the
railroad commissioners for settlement.
A. P. Fleckenstein. who was delegated
by the u. c. T. to fight this case for
them, was in the city recently with
NJ. j. Hemmens, past supreme council
or Of the order. and now a member
Of the supreme executive committee.
They conferred with local leaders Of
the y. G. T. regarding the progress Of
the case, and both men expressed
themselves as very hopeful that they
would get a favorable decision from
the commission.
AS soon as the case is decided in
this state, they expect to take up the
matter in Minnesota, where the case
will be presented to the commissioners
of that state in st. Paul within sixty
days. Other states in which they ex-
pect to put forth their efforts for a
reduction of the excess baggage charg-
es are Ohio, Indiana. Iowa and South
Dakota.
Mr.. F~leckenstein, in discussing the
matter, said that the reduction which
they hoped to secure, and which they
believe to be fair and just to both
parties concerned. will NEAR a saw
ing Of at least $500 or $400 a year in
excess baggage charges to the aver
age salesman on the road. Inasmuch
as there are hundreds Of travelling
men in this state alone it can readily
be seen that the total saving will be
a very considerable amount.
