Believed That Lower Rate Will
Assist in Alleviating !,
Winter Fuel Famine

In view of the emergency which
the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission of the State of Minnesota
finds now to exist as the result of
the nationwide coal and rail strikes
new schedule of rates for the
transportation of fuel wood in car
load lots within the state of Min
nesota has been ordered to be ef-
fective from August /, 1922 to
April I, 1928.
Pursuant to the notice, the mat
ter Of rail rates on fuel wood came
before the commission at Bemidji
March rs, 1922, at which time the
complaint was entered by Charles
S. Carter, Bemidji. Charles Hayden
Blackjack, and William Lennon,
Kelliher, against the Minnesota 4
International, The Northern Pacific,
The Great Northern and the Min
neapolis, St. Paul & Sault st. Marie

South to the Twin Cities and the
developed agricultural regions of

"Testimony Of the complainants
was to the effect that the cost Of
transportation by rail is prohibitive

for fuel wood is limited and that
it cannot and does not compete with

Meeting of Rail Executives
so in New York City
tBy United Press)

Washington, August president
Harding today made public his pro-
posal to railroad managers and strik-
ing shopmen for the termination of
the rail strike. The outstanding fea-
ture of the proposal is that senior
ity rights of the strikers are to be
unimpaired. as.-.
The Presidents proposal follows:
Railroad managers and werkmen
are to agree to recognize all decis-
ions of the railroad labor board and
must carry out these decisions ac-
cording to law.
The carriers will withdraw all law
suits growing out of the strike and
all railroad labor board decisions
which have been involved in the
strike, may be taken in the exercise
of rights by either party to the rail-
road labor board for re-hearing.
All employees shall be returned to
work and to their former position
with senioity rights and other rights
unimpaired. The representatives of
the carriers and the representatives
of organizations must especially
agree there will be no discrimina-
ton against employees who We're
out on strike. ."&

lures of the plan were sent to the
railroad executives and striking shop
men and that the announcement
from the white house constitutes

1.-THE American people have faith in
Herbert Hoover" said Mr.. Evans today.
"The tremendous problems of feeding
starved nations and rehabilitating them
seem to call continually upon his genius
for organization. 1t is a principle with
Hoover to help only those who help
themselves. The succOr he has directed
has not bred dependents. 1t Is so with
Russia. He has found money we assume
sufficient to feed these 100000 Rus
slams in the Volga River grain BASIN
Their lives Will be saved today but what
of tomorrow
"Hoover does not intend to have these
same Russians non-supportiug when the
next harvest comes. Hence his call for
agricultural implements. The valleys Of
the Volga can be more than the bread
basket of that immediate territory,
enough surplus grain can be sold to re-
construct the district and make the peO-
pie again independent"
