2-CENT RATE SUIT
NEAR SETTLEMENT.

At conference at Grand Rapids
called by Judge Sessions and attended
by representative of the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic railroad and the
attorney-general's department, the
Judge set April ! as the day on which
the railroad must file in United States
district court it's schedules and claims.
On June the state must file its sched-
ules and claims and about two weeks
later the taking Of testimony in the
effort to prove the 2-cent fare law for
the upper peninsula unconstitutional
will be on.
Before the oral arguments both sides
will submit briefs. The judge insistt d
on thu schedule and claim filing at
different times to give both parties
time 10 look over each others .docu-
ments. While this plan did not meet
with the contestants approval, Judge
Sessions insisted an early decision was
necessary.
Although the case now has been
pending for six years, the hearing as
sche iuled to come up before Judge
Sessions is tn all intents and purposes
a new hearing. All evidence will have
to be brought down to date. What
has consumed SIX years without de-
cision is expected to be wound up by
Judge Sessions in less than six months
with decision.
