Curiosity as to who inspired the

The newspaper does not complain
that the, information contained in the
statement, which it says is not very

hardly anything new in it and the
subject matter is conveyed in such a
way as to create a wrong impression.
The Times argues that although Ger

kilograms received from Governor
Nestos Of North Dakota and other
citizens Of that state President Cool
idge directed the Interstate Com
merce Commission today to make q
special inquiry into allegations that
increased freight rates on coal mined
in North Dakota amounted to con-
spiracy to destroy the states coal
mining industry.
Governor Nestos telcgraphcd the
President several days ago complain
ing Of the increased rates and urg-
ing a congressional investigation. In
directing the special inquiry Mr..
Coolidge was moved by desire to
have complete information at the dis
posal Of Congress should that body
desire to act. &x
The North Dakota complaint will
be added to the document already be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission bearing on the Northwest
Ignite coal rate case which has been
under investigation for two months
and on which decision is expected
within JO or 40 days.
When railroads filed a proposal to
increase Ignite rates preliminary
complaints to the commission were
made and the entire schedules were
suspended. An order requiring in
vestigation was issued simultaneous J.
ly and the commissioner examiners
since have conducted hearings. Until
a final decision is reached the rail-
roads will be unable to put into cf-
feet the rates against which Cover
