WOULD ENJOIN
EXPRESS FIRMS
ANOTHER ACTION STARTED b.
SOUTH DAKOTA CONNER
DIAL GU ES AGAINST
HIGHER INTERSTATE
RATES.

Sioux City, Ia.-.An action design
ed to enjoin four express compan-
les and the interstate commerce com
mission from continuing in effect ar
alleged Discrimination rate schedule
in South Dakota was begun in the
United States district court here
yesterday by five South Dakota Com
mercial clubs and three Sioux Fails,
S. D.. business firms.
This is the second time that such
an action has been instituted in the
federal court in Sioux City. In the
first action a Temporary injunction
was asked for, while in the second
this is not a part of the plaintiffs
prayer.
A hearing on the application for a
temporary injunction in the first case
was held September and at Ce-
dar Rapids, Ia, before Federal
Judge Martin j. Wade and District
Court Judge Walter |. Smith, OF
Council Bluffs. The temporary writ
was denied Judge Reed dissenting.
On September 81 counsel for the
South Dakota commercial clubs and
the Sioux Falls business houses filed
a motion to dismiss their petition
without prejudice. Two days later
Judge Reed ordered the petition dis
missed and the defendants discharg
ed from further prosecution.
Yesterday the second action, al
most identical with the first one, was
filed with United States District
Clerk Lee McNeely. who is in at
tendance at the Sioux City term Of
federal court. f. e. Wagner, OF
Sioux Falls, chief counsel for the
plaintiffs, who is defending case in
coure here, filed the new petition.
Plaintiffs in the new case are the
Brown Drug company, Fen Bros and
Jewett Bros. & Jewett, all of Sioux
Falls; and the Sioux Falls, Mitchell
Watertown. Aberdeen aud Yankton
commercial clubs. Defendants nam
ed are the United States commerce
commission. the American Express
company. the Wells-Fargo company
the Adams Express company, the
Great Northern Express company,
and the Sioux City Commercial club.
Mr. Wagner, in discussing the case,
pointed out that it was brought for
the purpose of setting aside an order
of the interstate commerce com
mission of May 30, 1915, made in
the proceedings started by the Sioux
City Commercial club against the
four express companies to require
them to give South Dakota shippers
into South Dakota the same rates
which the express companies were
charging shippers located at Sioux
Falls, Mitchell, Aberdeen, Water
town and Yankton.
The effect of the order, as claim
ed by the express companies, is to
require them to raise the South Da-
kota rates from the five cities to the
level of interstate rates from Sioux
City to South Dakota points.
Mr.. Wagner is attacking the order
on the ground that the commerce
commission has no authority to de-
termine the reasonableness or UNI
reasonableness of the rate schedule
and that it has unlawfully inter
ferred with interstate rates in South
Dakota. Hse
In discussing the case Mr.. Wagner
asserted that the proposed increase
of rates to and from the five South
Dakota points ranges from so to 800
per cent. This, he claims, is gross
ly unfair to the Sioux Falls business
houses and the five South Dakota Cit

ed Columbus college on the college
athletic field yesterday afternoon by
a score of 6 to O. From start to
