STATE PREPARES
DEFENSE AGAINST
RAILROAD ATTACK
Carriers Seek Injunction Against
Rates Ordered By Board
Effective JuIy1
PRESENT STANDARD UNEVEN
Companies Announce intention
to Appeal to |. c. G. Be-
fore Adjustment

Attorney General Jim Morris and
members Of the state railroad board
today were preparing to make q
strong defense against the effort OF
North Dakota railroads to cnjoin op-
Grafton Of the intrastate class rates
ordered by the board to become CT
fective July I.
The rates under fire in the antici-
pated action are those upon which the
bulk Of goods move from wholesale
distributing points and are important
to many cities In the state which are
named in the order.
Present rates. which the new sched.
ule was to supersede. favor q few
points in the state ana give them
preference over other distributing
centers. Instead of raising points
now given preference. however, the
state board lowered the rates from
the others.
In an application for an injunction,
copy Of which has been served on
Morris and the railroad board, the
railroads allege that the new intra-
state rates would discriminate against
interstate commerce since the intra-
state rates would be, in some cases,
lower than rates prescribed BY the
Interstate commerce commission for
interstate shipments. They allege that
application Of the proposed new rates
would cost the railroads 100000 Z
year.
Not Yet Filed
Although the application for an in.
junction has not been filed In federal
court, there Is no doubt that It viii
be presented In the near future. i
Is the custom, In such cases, to have
the case heard by three federal court
judges and attorneys for the railroads
have notified Morris that they hope
to arrange for q hearing on the ap-
plication injunction In the near future
at st. Paul.
Morris and the railroad board re-
gard the case as one Of importance
to the proper development Of the
commercial centers Of the state and
will contest the injunction action to
the limit.
In the event the court sustains
their position, it Is the announced in
tention Of the railroads to appeal the
case to the interstate commerce COM
mission which now has all Of the rates
in the country before 1t for adjust
ment. They contend that the state
board. by its action. anticipated the
action Of the Interstate commerce
commission and that 1t was not justt-
fled In doing 50 since they expect the
federal body to decide the general
class rate case sometime this year.
Reviews History
The injunction application reviews
the history Of class freight rates In
North Dakota since 1920 and alleges
that the rates which the railroad
board has ordered into effect will give
North Dakota points preference over
points in other states and
will materially derange the class rate
structure throughout the northwest.
