Fight Against the Railroad
OUer High I11trastate Rates

Bismarck, N. D., April 2.-Attorney
General William LANCER won. the in
itial bout in legal battle involving
the American railways rights to in
creased earnings aggregating $l,200,-
100000, Tuesday evening. when the
North Dakota supreme court handed
down an opinion granting the appli-
cation of the state of North Dakota

Especial to The Herald. J

Bismarck, N. D., April 2.-Smoked
from cover by the opportunities of
the state banking board, or blue sky
commission, the Consumers United
Stores Co. has called its certificate
holders to meet at their local
to state convention to be held in
Fargo on. Saturday, (which meeting" :"
the notice says, will be held to in
vestigate and examine the books and
records Of the Consumers United
Stores Co."
Upon the same date the officers Of
the Consumers company have been
invited" by the blue sky commission
to appear before it at it's offices here
to open its books, reveal its manner
of doing business, and show cause
why 1t should not be compelled to re-
organize on cooperative basis, or
among the $1,000 certifcate-h holders
who have subscribed the $1,50O,OO0 in
resources to which President John J.
Hastings recently testified before the
blue sky board.
The Consumers company has
ignored two previous invitations of
the same tenor. It Is understood to
be the, sentin>ei4t of at least two Of
the three members of the blue sky
commission that, should this third re-
quest meet the same fate as it's pre-
decessors, action be started against
the Consumers company, with a
view to holding it's officers criminally
liable for the violation of the blue
sky laws with which they are charged.
The local meetings called for
Thursday at the "store points, and
the state meeting called for Saturday,
both for the alleged purpose of CIV
ing the farmers an opportunity to so
over the books, are the first recogni-
ton accorded the certihcate-h holders
IN the Consumers company since they
paid in their 500. A few meagerly
stocked stores, in which the average
investment is said to not exceed $3,-
900. have been installed by the COM
pany, but in a number of instances,
such as Strasburg, where $4,000 was
subscribed last August, months have

Hoyne And Fitzpatrick Cut
Into Republican And Dem
ocratic Vote Vets Win
By A Large Majority
Democrats Elect Treasurer
And Clerk.

Chicago, April 2.-complete re-
'.urns today from yesterdays munich
pal election showed that William
Hale Thompson (Republican) was
reelected mayor for term of four
years by a plurality of 1850 over
Robert NJ. Sweitzer (Democrat) his
nearest competitor, and that\the city
voted wet" by a majority Of 247,-
22s.
Four other mayoral candidates
were in the field-Maclay Hoyne Gn-
dependent Democrat), John Fitzpat-
rick (Labor), John NJ. Collins) ESQ
Labor. The total for mayor was
6SS,S61 out of registration of 1922
600. At the mayoralty election four
years ago Thompson defeated Sweit-
ger by more than 147,Ooo votes.
Analysis of the vote for mayor in
dicates that Hoyne drew heavily from
the normal Republican vote while
Fitzpatrick cut into the Democratic
vote and that in west side Democratic
bailiwicks Sweitzer failed to poll the
usual party vote. Subjoined are fig
ures for the six mayoraI candidates:
