grain products. They show, he
said. that numerous adjustments
are necessary to enable North Da-
kota firms engaged in these lines
to meet the competition Of out-cf-
state firms who are favored BY in
terstate rates which are generally
lower than the interstate rates for
the same distances.
If North Dakota business is ia
prosper and industries be devel-
oped readjustment is imperative,
Durrant said.
Durrant on Stand Yesterday
Further testimony designed to
show that North Dakota intrastatc
freight rates are too high and are
trottling North Dakota business en-
throttling in their efforts to compete
with rivals in other states was pre-
scented yesterday.
T. A. Durrant, traffic expert for
the Grand Forks Commercial club,
presented testimony and exhibits rel
alive to intrastate rates on brick and
livestock. He stressed the point that
reduction in jOint-line rates from
Grand Forks to points on the 500
and Farmers Grain and Shipping
company lines is necessary to enable
Grand Forks firms to compete sue
cessfully with points in Minnesota
which have lower interstate tariffs.
His exhibits showed, he said, that
North Dakota intrastate rates on clay
materials and livestock are higher
than either the interstate rAtes on
the same materials or the Minnesota
intrastatc rates.
Rates on Brick Unfair
A. N. Halstead, jamestown. pres
ident of the Hebron Brick company,
testified that the high interstate
scale on clay products has hampcred
development of the industry in North
Dakota. Competitors in other states
have an advantage, he said, because
they can move their goods into the
state cheaper than they can be dis
tributed from the company's plant at
Hebron.
W. T. Borden, secretary of the
Red River Brick company. Grand
Forks, said that his company had en-
countered similar difficulty in its
effort to expand its business.
Kenneth Graves, Grand Forks, Sec
rotary of the Northern Packing COM
pany, testified that the high intra-
state level on joint line shipments
has handicapped his firm and has re-
suited in many shipments going to
the Twin Cities which should have
come to Grand Forks. REIMBURSEMENT

titled that high intrastatc rates and
low Interstate rates cut his firm OIL
from competing with Twin City firms
in what should be natural Farg'
trade territory.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
RATE REIMBURSEMENT NEcESShRY
BUSINESS IN NORTH DAKOTA IS TO
PROSPER, WITNESS TELLS RAIL BOARD

Adjustment of intrastate freight
rates to enable ''line"> lumber com.
panies to meet the competition Of
mail order houses was urged to-
day by w. f. Keller, Minneapolis
secretary of the Northwest Lum.
bermens Association, in testimony
before the state railroad board.
Keller corroborated the testi-
mony Of North Dakota men who
also said that unfavorable freight
rates are "ham-stringing" them in
their efforts to compete with out
of-statc houses.
North Dakota lumbernlen need
better distributing rates in order
to place Building materials Of all
kinds in their branch yards more
cheaply," Keller said. Building
materials are shipped in carload
lots to major distributing points
and distributed from there to
branch yards in smaller cities. The
freight rates are sc. high that they
have difficulty in meeting the
competition of mail order houses
and direct-by mail manufacturers
The result is these people get the
cream of the business and the
money goes outside the state"
Lumber Yards Forced Out
Keller called attention to the
fact that population Of the state
has decreased 10000 since 1922 and
that there are $50 fewer lumber
yards than in 1918. Prejudicial
freight rates, which have forced
many men out of business, are
partly responsible for both condi-
tions, he said. Among articles
sold by mail order houses are roof
ing, fencing, all sorts Of building
materials and even entire houses
with the material cut ready to be
built into the house.
Many North Dakota building
material men find it cheaper ia
buy brick made in other states, he
said, because of high intrastate
rates as compared tc the interstate
rates. The effect, he said, is to
penalize both the North Dakota
brick makers and the North Da.
kOta brick user.
Springer Recalled
G. NJ. Springer, jamestown rate
expert, was recalled to the stand
and presented data bearing on the
relative cost of shipping brick in
intrastate and interstate traffic
The railroads receive an average
Of eight mills per ton mile for in
terstate shipments compared with
IL mills per ton mile for intra'
state shipments, he said.
T. "A. Durrant, Grand Forks traf
fic expert, completed his testimon!
today. He presented comparison
of rates on livestock, brick an,
