fight
TO GET RATE
FIXING POWER
Railroad Commission Seeks
to Be Free of Injunction
Limiting Strength.

War on existing freight rates in
North Dakota n the injunction
which ties the hands of tho state
railroad and warehouse commission
so that it cannot regulate intra-
state freight rates was declared by
civic, business and state organizations
at a meeting in Fargo Thursday
rotary Of the Grand Forks CONNER
cial club, who has xeturned from 1t
tending the session. The meeting
was called by the North Dakota Farm
Bureau federation.
1t is understood that the fight
which will be carried OF by a COM
mittee appointed at the meeting will
take the form Of a test case among
other measures against existing con-
ditions.
The injunction secured by tho car
riers prevents the railroad commits
SION from putting into effect new rail-
road rates within h state.
It was explained at the meeting by
V. E. Smart. traffic expert OF the
state railroad commission, that the
commission is now considering action
which will have the effect Of dis
solving the injunction.
The commission, it is pointed out,
when the interstate commerce COM
. Vi GU OIL
per cent in railroad rates in 1890,
refused to put the increase into ef-
feet on tntra-state business in North
Dakota.
The carriers appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission, claim
ing that this refusal was having the
effect OF interfering with interstate
commerce, and the final outcome was
that an injunction was granted the
carriers. restraining the state COM
mission from interfering with the
railroads in establishing the increase
on intra-state business.
The state commission, according to
Mr.. Smart, is considering the adj
visibility of ordering the IS per cent
increase in line with the order Of the
I. G.. C. and then ask for a removal
of thu cause of it. With the in3unc-
ton out Of the way, the state COM
mission. it is expected. would be re-
invested with its power of rate max
! ing within tho state. The contemp-
lated test case might then be insti-
tuted to sharply denne tho power Of
the state commission.
The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the matter includes: Walter
Reed and W. c. M%acfadden. Fargo:
Fred Mann. Devils Lake: G. w.
Reichert. Carrington, and r. A.
Lathrop. Hope. This committee will
also appoint a general committee
representing all interested classes and
organizations in the state.
