L|NDE PROTECTS
MANY CLAIMS
Secures Modification of State
Supreme Court Judg-
ment.

Attorney General Linde yesterday
secured a modification Of the judg-
ment of the state supreme court in
the Ignite coal case so that persons
having claims against the 500 and
st. Paul road can collect.
Judgment had been entered which
shut off many persons in the state
holding claims against these two
roads for the difference between the
old and new rates while the Ignite
rate case was pending settlement in
the state supreme court.
. Recently these rates were held to
be confiscatory. Mr.. Linde, however,
re-opened the matter with the state
supreme court and had the judgment
changed so as to conform with the
decree entered by the United States
supreme court.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern have paid all claims under
this litigation without contesting
them. The other roads elected to
fight the& claims which amount to
many thousands Of dollars. Mr.. Lin.
