b|lNOT OIL COMPANY
wins FREIGHT Case
Rates From Midcontinent Field
Cut BY Order Of Federal
Commission

Minot, N. D., March 28.-tP)-A de-
cision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission granting reduced freight
rates on petroleum and its products
from Minot to northeastern Montana
and from the midcontinent field to
Montana, as asked by the Westland
OIL company Of Minot, was inter-
preted Wednesday by President r. ].
Coughlin as an entering wedge for
future freight rate reductions on
other commodities shipped from MI
not to Montana.
Word that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had decided q case
brought by the Westland company In
favor Of the Minot concern was re-
ceived Tuesday night by President
Coughlin from Karl Knox Gartner,
Washington attorney, who appeared
as chief counsel for the Westland
firm.
The new reduced rates. from the
midcontinent field to Montana and
from Minot to Montana, ordered into
effect on June 20, will mean reduce
ton In gasoline prices In Montana
of approximately two cents per gal
Ion, Coughlin said. Other petroleum
products which will move under the
new reduced rates will be decreased
in price correspondingly, according to
Coughlin.
The victory OF the Westland COM
pany means the breaking down Of q
freight tariff wall which has existed
at the North Dakota Montana boun-
Diary line, the Westland company
president said, and he believes that
the attitude of the Interstate Com
merce Commission as expressed in this
case, will be reflected in future cases
pertaining to other commodities.
