case, hearing of which will be resum.
ed here Monday morning in the Unit.
ed States Court before an examiner
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the North Dakota state
railroad commission, will arrive here
tomorrow. A battery of legal ex.
perts representing the railroads, the
states of South Dakota, MINES ota
and North Dakota, coal dock compan
les, Wyoming and Montana coal oper,
ators and North Dakota operators
will contend at the trial over the
proposed increase in rates of ap.
proximately so percent.
1t was announced after the first
phase of the case-the presentation
by carriers--had been made in Feb.
ruary that when the hearing was re-
sumed the coal dock operators, who
favor the increase, would be the
first to present their case on resump-
tion. They will be followed by the
North Dakota Ignite Coal Operators
Association and the state representa-.
tives.
Stanley B. Houck, MINNEAPOLIS
commerce attorney, will represent
the operators. " f. Smart of Jcffer-
son City, Missouri, former traffic ex-
pert for the North Dakota commits
sion; +. NJ. Hendricks, present ex-
pert, and Rate Expert Kelley of the
South Dakota commission, will be
witnesses, it is expected. The hear
ing may continue for several days, it
is indicated.
The state of North Dakota, aside
from it's interest in the development
of Ignite and protection of consum.
ers, is being brought into the case
through statements by railroad COM
mission experts that the proposed
increase would amount to about S37,-
600 year to state institutions, which
are required by law to use Ignite
coal. 1t is also said by railroad COM
mission experts that the total in
crease asked by the railroads ap-
proximates 100000 annually, most
of which would be paid by North Da-
kotans, since the bulk of the Ignite
coal produced is consumed within
the borders of this state.

COOLIDGE WARNS HUNT

Washington, April 19.--Pres ident
Coolidge in message to Governor
Hunt of Arizona warned him against
restrictions imposing too great hard
ships on tourists.
The presidents message follows:
The federal department of agri-
culture is acting vigorously to control
the foot and mouth disease and is
rgIdly quarantining infected areas
and preventing movement of disease
carrying animals and comm odities.
The department has had experience
with three previous outbreaks, the
last one being much more severe
than at present and its control meas
ures are based on this experience.
In view Of the foregoing, | feel
that some quarantine measures now
imposed by states touching Califor-
MIA are altogether more severe than
necessary to fully safeguard them
from the disease.
i suggest immediate conference
OF authorities of the states interest
ed and the modification of quaran-
tine regulations to meet requirements
necessary to. furnish full protection.
Nothing will be left undone by fed
eral authorities to eradicate the dis
ease and prevent its spread. No dis
ease carrying shipments are permit
ted from infected territory. In view
of this | suggest that other states
should not interfere with necessary
movement of farm commodities from
territory not affected. Unnecessary
losses should not be incurred because
of unnecessary quarantine.
