RAILWAYS PROTEST
AGAINST ORDER THAT
CLASSES THEM ASl

, A conference is being held today
before the state railroad and ware
house commission in st. Paul as to-
whether the Northern Pacific, Big
Fork & International and Minnesota
& International railways should not
be classed as one system for rate max
ing.
A petition recently filed with the
commission from shippers along these
lines says that the Northern Pacific
railway controls the smaller lines and
asks that all the lines be regarded as
one.
If the commission decides that the
roads are one it will greatly decrease
the rates along these lines.
