MISS ANNA SJULE DIES
AT HOSPITAL THIS A. M,

At $3.50 this morning occurred the
death of Miss Anna Sjule, aged 21
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Sjule of Carbury, death being due las
near as we can ascertain) to heart
trouble.
Miss Sjule was taken to the hospital
some over month ago and was suf-
fering with typhoid fever and for a
long time little hope was held for her
recovery until about week ago, when
she turned for the better and was rap
idly improving. It appears that Miss
Sjule was to leave the hospital either
today or tomorrow and upon arising
this morning complained of pain
near her heart. She was at once again
placed in bed and a physician sum-
moned but the young life had passed
out before the doctor had arrived.
The death Of Miss Sjule will be a
severe shock to many friends Of the
Sjule family.
AS The Courant goes to press no
funeral arrangements have been made
but along with score Of relatives and
friends The Courant wishes to extend
sympathy to Mr.. and Mrs. Sjule in
the loss Of a loving daughter so dear
to them.

COMMISSION DENIES
RAIL RATE BOOST
Rates Applied For Are Unjust and
Would Work Irreparable Damage
Upon Shippers and Producers, De-
clares Order Refusing Roads Re.
quest for Intra-State Increases.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. ID, 1920
Increases in intrastate freight passen-
ger, Pullman, milk and cream rates as
authorized by the l. c. C. and asked
for by railroads operating in North
Dakota, were denied by the State rail-
road commission late today.
The state commission held that tho
rates applied for "are unjust and
would work an irreparable damage
upon the shippers and producers of
North Dakota by reason of the fact
that it was conclusively shown that
the railroads are now earning more
than six percent on their investment"
Doubt as to whether the l. c. C. has
authority to assume jurisdiction over
railroads in this state in view Of an
act fixing maximum freight rates,
was expressed by the state commits
sion.
Attorneys for the railroads an
nounced that the matter would be
taken before the interstate commerce
commission.
The railroads had applied for tho
same increase in intrastate rates as
were granted by the interstate COM
merce commission for interstate rates
in this territory. The question of tho
increase has been fought since tho
first hearing last summer when tho
commission granted the increase. The
state supreme court restrained the in
creases on the ground that they were
illegally adopted by the commission.
The commission readopted the order
of the increase and the supreme court
gave a new Injunction and ordered
new hearing. At the conclusion of the
hearing today the commission denied
the increase.
Attorney General-Elect Lemke and
Mr.. H. A. Paddock appeared for the
people and their work together with

the Commission, did not leave the

RAIL FAILURES
TO FIGHT LABOR

Washington, D. C.-Senator Cum.
minis Of Iowa, reelected by 100000
less votes than Harding polled, an
nounces that he will bring forward the
anti-strike provisions which were elm.
mated from the Cummins-E Esch law.
The public throughout the country
is pretty generally discouraged with
the transportation service we have
been receiving since the return to pri-
.vate ownership, and it is not hard ia
see that the railroad financiers would
regard new drive on organized labor
as being likely to add q good deal Of
convenient mud to the water and 50
turn aside some, at least, Of the pub
lie wrath. It will give the railroad pub
hcity agents and the kept newspa-
pers q chancet-to do a great. deal Of
talking against labor and to convey
to the public mihd that II it weren't
for the bad actions Of labor, rail ser
vice would be all right. =.
Another phase Of the situation is
the fact that the railroad ffnanciers
are among the leaders IA. the open
shop campaign, and inasmuch as the
railroad unions are comparatively
strong, laws which would prevent the
railroad workers from defending
themselves n this open 1lAop caIn-
paign would Be very acceptable to the
financiers.

Relative to the new situation Grand
Chief Stone of the Locomotive Engi-
neers said recently: "After being
classed for II years as an ultra-con-
servative, have arrived at the point
where am through making excuses
to the men," It is further known that
the Zone Big Union" idea is rapidly
gaining converts among all classes Of
railroad employees and many keen OBJ
servers say they expect to see it come
any day now and with it an alliance
of railroad workers, farmers, miners
and steel workers. It is fear Of this
alliance being perfected that explains
the uneasiness shown in Wall Street
lately as to what the farmers and
workers will do next. .
Probably nothing could show the
great change that has taken place in
public opinion during the last few
months than the honors that have
been literally showered on Mrs. Kate
