Vigorous ]. Protest in
Mail Censoriillg Case

Washington, Jan. 8. The United
States has sent to Ambassador Page
at London for presentation to the Brit
ish foreign Office note vigorously
protesting against British authorities
interfering with and censoring mails
from the United States to neutral
European countries.
The note is understood to have al
ready been delivered to the British
foreign office. The state department
plans to make public its text here
late today. .@
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from American business men
and others that their mails destined
to points in neutral European coun-
tries have been opened by British
censors. Steamships carrying neutral
mails to and from the United States
have been held up by British warships
and taken to British ports, where prac-
tically all mails have been removed by
the British authorities, the steamships
have then been allowed to proceed,
but the mails were detained, and ex-
amined by British censors. After a
complete examination the mails have
been sent forward to their destination.
This resulted in much delay, and in
some instances confscation of cor
respondence.

Railroad Commission
Handles Much Business

Bismarck, Jan. AT the meeting
of the railroad commission yesterday
the request Of the people of Trenton
to have Great Northern train No. 3
stop on flag at that place was post
poned until the spring meeting of the
board at Minot owing to the reluc-
lance of the commission to increase
the speed of this train, which was al
ready great, during the winter months.
In the complaint of one Greer at
Rugby against a charge of $3.50 for a
change in telephone caused by his
second removal within one year, the
commission ordered the Northern Tele-
phone Co., to connect up this mans
phone and the matter of charge would
be decided at hearing later.
The application by J. H. Rosen for
lower rate on state shipments OF
western coal was given consideration.
Correspondence with the Northern
Pacific and 500 lines develops a will
ingness by those companies to make a
joint rate on these shipments, and it
is expected a satisfactory rate will
be secured for shipments of this kind
from Wyoming and Montana points to
points within the state.
Atty. B. A. Dickinson of Ryder, ap-
peared before the commission in the
interest of the Queen City Telephone
Co., in a controversy with the Fort
Berthold Telephone Co., of Makoti,
and reported the two companies had
not been able to meet in agreement
as had been hoped, so the commission
will go to Makoti the later part Of
the month and try to effect settle
ment of the issues.
In the matter of the differences be-
tween the Farmers & Merchants
Telephone Co., of Flaxton and the
Northern Telephone Co., of Minot,
over routing messages and connec-
tions, the commission decided in "a
vor of the line originating the bust.
ness, in other words in favor of the
Northern company. This latter com:
pany has line from Minot to Portal
and from there to Columbus and has
been in the habit of routing messages
from points west and east over this
line through the Columbus exchange,
which is owned by the Farmers line.
This latter company has a line be-
tween Columbus and Flaxton and the
beginning of the trouble arose. over
the demand of the Farmers COM
pany that business to points on its
line and beyond be sent by the Nor
thern company via the Farmers COM
pany SO that it could get it's pro-rata
share Of the business. This would
have increased the rate and the Nor
thern company refused to so route
its messages, and as a result the
Farmers line refused to connect with
the Northern at Columbus. All traf-
&c west Of Portal or Flaxton was
thus tied up, except that originating
on the Farmers line. and complaint
was made by q citizen Of Max that

he had lost money by failure Of get,
ting through a telephone message.
The railroad commission promptly
ordered both telephone companies to
restore communication, leaving the
matter Of rates and routing to a hear
ing, which hearing was held at Minot
recently. While the decision is in
favor Of the Northern company it is
understood both companies will soon
get together in working agreement
with fair rate to both companies.
There were many important side is.
sues in the decision Of this case, the
most important being the right of a
telephone company to route it's mes
sages the way it wishes, provided
rates and time are equal to some 9TH
err routing.
