DENY BUSES PERMIT
TO MATCHRA|LR0AD
RATES FOR FREIGHT
Interstate Transportation Com
pany Request Refused by
Railroad Commission

The State Board Of Railroad Com
missioners Saturday issued an order
denying an application of the Inter-
state Transportation company, Bis
marck, requesting permission to match
railroad rates on freight shipments
between Minot and Bismarck.
The truck line serves the inter-
mediate points of Wilton. Washburn,
Turtle Lake, Underwood, Coleharbor.
Garrison, and Max.
In disappearing the company's APP
plication, the railroad board held
that the proposed rates are not justi-
fled, but ruled further that the pres
ent tariffs ARE in a very unsatisfac-
tory condition in that the rates are
illogical and inconsistent.
I'VE recommend that an entirely
new tariff be filed on the basis Of the
first four class single line railroad
distributing rates between Minot.
Max and Bismarck and intermediate
points," the order states. From or
to points other than Minot, Max or
Bismarck, the general single line rail-
road rates for the first four classes
may be published"
It was further recommended that
special rates for shipments OF lO,0OO
pounds or more from II conslgnor
to n consignee on bill OF lad
ing on one day may be published on
the basis of the fourth class railroad
rates under the single line distribute
ing scale.
It also was suggested that all rates
be computed via the actual highway
mileage based on highway depart
ment mileage and not by railway
mileage.
IAN additional charge of five cents
per 100 pounds may be added 1or
each store door pickup or delivery
service" the commission recommend
ed, 1.-The new tariff to show the &C
tual highway mileage based on high
way department mileages between all
points and show at what points store
door pickup or delivery service Is ae-
corded"
The order stated that the record
would be held open for the 1lling OF
a tariff to meet the Recommended
lions of the commission.
The 500 Line filed a protest against
the request of the applicants.
The truck company's present TAR
ifs were said by the commission 70
be confusing and give rise to un-
certainty as to the correct applca-
ton of IN of the rates" The COM
mission ruled that the proposed tar
ifs, If permitted to become eltec-
tive. would add to the present uncer-
tainty."
Tho North Dakota code requires
railroad rates to be plainly. stated
the order continues. There Is no
reason apparent to us why we should
not require truck rates or charges
likewise to be plainly stated
Witnesses for the 500 Line testl-
fled in opposition to the proposal on
the ground that the proposed tariffs
are ambiguous and on the ground
that the 500 Line would lose a sub
stantial amount of freight tonnage.

CLEVELAND BODY
FAvORS INCREASE
Cleveland. June 13.-R-A move
ment to build nation wide sentiment
favoring the proposed horizontal in
crease in railroad freight rates was
started Saturday by the Cleveland
Chamber Of Commerce with an an
nouncement that it will vigorously
support such an increase in the be-
lief that it is 'the one obvious point
at which the present economic ten.
dency may be halted and turned up-
ward"
The proposed increase is to be SUBJ
mitted by the nations railroad chief
to the Interstate Commerce Ccnimis-
sion next week..
Announcing the chambers stand,
Randolph Lee, president of the Or
%ganization and of the Ohio Bel! Tele-
phone company, described the in
crease at "thc most constructive eco
nomic step which can be taken at the
present time"
A statement by the chamber de-
clared that the present downward
trend of railroad earnings strains at
the heart of the nations financial
structure, whereas IN upward trend
made possible by increased rates
would give all industry a tremendous
upward push by enabling the rail-
roads to start buying again." The
chamber explained that railroad pur-
chases normally are estimated at
one-sixth of the country's total.
The chambers analysis of the stu
alton said the stability Of many in
surance companies, savings banks and
trust funds is bound up with that Of
the railroad securities and unless
railroad earnings are increased, fur
Their declines Of values will occur in
some Of them. This would, at the
present time, lead to a weakening of
some of our basic financial institu-
tions."
Further economies In railroad op-
erations are impossible. the report
said. Payroll reductions already
have decreased sharply the purchas-
ing power of nearly 1,500,0CO en-
ployes.

NEW BRITAIN HAS
 VETERAN QUINTET

New Britain, Nov 24.-When the New Britain high basketball quintet begins it's practice sessions for the coming indoor season the quintet which will undoubtedly represent the Red and Gold will be composed of exactly the same five men who last year won the Triangular league championship from Hartford high and Hillhouse aggregations.
 Returning for the court season will be Wojack, Mirliani, Franks, Mautner and Baylock, a capable team which should be the best to represent the school in years. With added strength as a result of ex- perience the Hardware City team will again attempt to win the three-cornered championship.
 Bob Mautner, rangy center, will again be at the pivot post. He played on even terms with the opposing centers last year. Wo- jack and Baylock will be ready for service at the forward posts. Baylock is rated as the best floor worker in this section while Wo- jack is fine point-getter. Franks and Mirliani make a good defen- sive combination. The team also has number of substitutes returning from .last years group. Zaleski. O'Brien, Zembrowski and Paluch are the second stringers who may see much action this year.

Whereas sports writers and foot ball fans in other parts of the na- tion list Wood as the leading cam didate for running mate to March mont Schwartz, Pug Rentner and Erny Pinckert on the 1881 All America, Bill Borton of Dartmouth and Phil O'Connell of Holy Cross are given the call over Wood by New England critics.
 That Final Game
 And if Woods low rating in his home balliwack was asurprise prior to- the Yale-Harvard game 1t did not appear strange after watching the young Phi-Beta-Kappa quar- terback in his final game. Wood may have displayed All-America class in previous contests but to those who saw him for the first time against Yale he did not rate tops.
 Boston critics agree that Wood was outplayed by Morton when Harvard defeated Dartmouth, even though the Crmison star pulled the contest out of the fire in the final minute of play--making the pass that tied the goal kick that won and the tackle that saved the game. "Too cautious" was the unanimous verdict.
 Played It Safe
 With an opportunity to reestab- fish himself as cool, resourceful and daring quarterback, Wood again reverted to an overly eau tious style of play against Yale Saturday and lost not only the game but, very probably, his pros- pect of an "All-America" berth.
 Carrying the responsibility of maintaining HArvard's unbeaten record, Wood used safety-first tac- tics until it was too late to win. and then Yale was prepared to guard against an aE-ornothing gamble. The opening play of the game, lateral pass of the kickoff from Wood to Crickard and the latter's 82-yard run put Harvard in scoring position before the game was 30 seconds old.
 Opinions Galore The second guessers maintain that Wood should have attempted a field goal on fourth down rather than his disparing and fruitless short pass which was grounded on the four yard line. At any rate, the Harvard captain appeared to have become convinced even before throwing the pass that he could not score and from that time on he seemingly was content to play for scoreless tie.
 He tried few of the pass plays which proved profitable in earlier games until after his failure to get off punt paved the way for Yale's field goal. After that it was too late.
 And when Barry was thrown for an 18-yard loss, almost on his own goal line, just before the game end ed, without even being able to get rid of the ball on a passing play, even Yale's players sympathized with his plight.
 On the Turf "Get up. Don't let them see you like that!" said one of the men who had blocked the pass. But 1t was too late. The final whistle had sounded and young MT Wood, Phi-Beta- Kappa key and all, ended his college football career in an undignified sitting posture, still clutching the ball. amid a group of rival tacklers on his own goal line.
