DULUTH REPRESENTATIVES
SAY TESTIMONY Is sI1NCA1R'


Minneapolis. Sept. l8-LP) Duluth
opened its case against the propo scd
six cent rate cut on grain from Min
ncapolis by attacking as unfair"
testimony offered by Minneapolis
witnesses ut the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing here.
Charles +. Macdonald, secretary,
Duluth board Of trade, the city's first
witness, maintained the stress placed
by Minneapolis on "the big contrast
in the Duluth receipts Of 19l7-l924,"
and said ito use these figures as H.
Illustrative Of the gross on the Duluth
market is unfair. The smallest year
that can be found since 1894, 30 years
previous. is picked and compared with
the grcatest-a year of most unusual
characteristics
Minneapolis witnesses had sought
TO show how the Duluth market has
grown under existing water route
competition ut the expense Of the
Mill City.
An Unfair Comparison
"The years receipts of 1917" said
Mr.. Macdonald, "include the latter
part of the movement of the crop of
1916 and the fall movement Of the
1917 crop. The wheat crop of 1916
WIS lUV WOTSL lUC NORTHWEST
has ever seen, the crop Of the four
northwest states being only ll0,2l5,-
600 bushels.
"Thc total crop Of all grains was
only 633, 168 900 bushels. Receipts in
1917 from the crop Of 1916 were there
fore very light. The fair method Of
comparison would be to use averages
during three or four years. In the
Is years from 1901 to 1915, the aver
age receipts at Duluth were 79,lOO.OOO
bushels. In the decade Of 1900 to
1909 they were 69,S50, 900 bushels and
in the decade from 1906 to 1915. Du-
luth receipts were S6.897,0OO.'
Statement Challenged
