The following telegram was sent to
the Governor by strike leaders here:
81. A, A. Burnquist, governor Of the
state Of Minnesota, Executive Man
sion, St.. Paul:
"You instructed the sheriff Of St.
Louis county to disarm the miners,
peaceful citizens. We submit here
with that this is gross violation of
ho ~ e nd
ask you to remove all the mine guards
from within the city limits of the min
ing towns, otherwise our miners will
be instructed to defend themselves by
their constitutional rights. ..
Seven mine guards forcibly entered
the homes of strikers at Gilbert, Fri
day night with drawn guns. They
threatened the strikers if they don't
return to work.
"They snatched baby from the
arms of it's mother and brutalized it..

Shippers Win Contention.
The state supreme court is an opin.
ion just filed holds the Omaha and
Northwestern railroads to be one road
for rate-making purposes. For legal
purposes the two roads are separate
corporations. The opinion of the
| court was an affirmation of findings
made by the Lyon county district
court which held against an order is
sued by the state railroad and ware,
house commission fixing joint freight
rates for the two roads.
The case found it's way into the
Marshall county district court on ap-
peal of Attorney General Smith and
James Hall, representing several grain
shippers. The appellants contended
the joint rate as established by the
commission permitted OverCharges
and was in conflict with the eastman
distance tariff law.
Passing on the question of basic
rates the supreme court says:
1T is held that for the purpose OF
establishing freight rates the two com
panies constitute one road and line
and that the intra-state continuous
mileage rates fixed pursuant to the
distance tariff law apply and that the
commission is without authority to fix
joint rate"
