Distance Tariffs

Important concessions to LMilwau-

been gained by the railway commits
sion in new tariff extending to these
points the same distance rates which
territory east of the river long has
enjoyed. The reductions range from
20 to 30 per cent upon ev(cy commod-
ity except Ignite, rates for which al

Selfridge, Raleigh, Leith, Brisbane,

main line of the Milwaukee, are some
of the more important points affect.
ed. No change will be made in North
ern Pacific points west of the river,

"a uniform system of distance tariffs
throughout the state.
Will Get Rebates. 90, i :.
Inasmuch as the new reduced dis
lance tariffs published by the Milwau-
kee line for North Dakota points west
of the Missouri river were established
as effective July 1, shippers who have
paid the old rates during the last six
weeks will have substantial rebate
of 20 to 80 per cent on their freight
bill The volume of freight traffic,
especially on agricultural implements,
threshing outfits and machinery, has
been heavy during this period, and
hundreds of shippers, no doubt, will
take advantage of this opportunity to
| obtain a refund. 49,.

state aiding and mixing into private

this section of the constitution:

The great majority of the North Da

his opinion they are deliberate falsi-

No Trouble Reported.
Whether from confidence of immu-
nifty or something else, the |. w. w.
cannot be directly blamed for much
disturbance in North Dakota during
the present harvest season. While
general strike was presumed to have
been called yesterday, neither Cover
nor Frazier, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Labor Hagan nor General
Fraser had up to noon today received
advice of any trouble anywhere in the
state.
Commissioner Hagan reported that
so far as he could learn everyone was
at work and contented. Wages are
running up to 81 a day, and no dis
putes on this score have been brought
to his attention. The few arrests
which have been made of I. w. W..

serious case against the organization
in this state. The key to the situa-
ton may be that the |. w. w., by be-

The only important arrest made to
date aside from the one reported at
Minot yesterday was at Munich, IN
Cavalier county, last week, when sew

of intimidating other workers who had
taken jobs at $3.50 per day, while the
