MOTION TO DISSOLVE
STATE COURT ORDER
Notice Served to Show Cause
In Federal Court For Delay
ing New Express Rates.

Pierre, S. D., Sept. GA new move
In the South Dakota express rate case
is the filing of an order by United
States Marshal Villas, to show cause be-
fore Judge Elliot, of the United States
court at Sioux Falls, on September %
why the recent injunction of the South
Dakota court should not be dissolved.
Discrimination was secured by the
railroad commission to restrain the ex-
press companies from putting into eff
feet their new schedule of rates before
December. The companies had filed j
schedule to go into effect on September
Is.
The case began when Sioux City filed
complain with the Interstate Com
merce commission that express rates
to eastern South Dakota towns were
lower han rates to Sioux City, for like
distance, and consequently Sioux City
was the victim of discrimination. The
Interstate Commerce commission heia
that there was discrimination existing
against Sioux City, and that rates
would nave to be readjusted.
The express companies filed new
schedules, but the South Dakota rail-
road commission last week secured
from the state supreme court an order
p~ostpoining these rates until the De-
cember hearing.
The express companies now seek to
have that restraining order set aside.
This phase will be heard before Judge
Elliot in Sioux Falls OF September rs.
