A rule has been granted by the
Rules committee for the consideration
of the Pettengill Bill, H. R. 1868, tC
amend the long and short haul clause
of the Interstate Commerce act. This
bill would permit railroads to grant
cheaper rates to midwest shippers
on shipments to either seaboard. Al
present the long and short haul clause
which applies to railroads does not
apply to water and bus transporta-
ton.
The proposed bill proposes to place
the railroads in the same competitive
position as other means of transporta-
tion. The bill is opposed by the
steamship interests and supported by
the railroads. Passage of the bill
would be an advantage to farmers and
shippers in Minnesota.

"Keifer," he grumbled.

The curious guard batted his
orbs to show his surprise, then
rose from his chair and went to
the bars of the large, sombre
death-house cell. A single light
burning in the cell revealed a
man of about thirty, his thin
features relaxed, who lay on a
cot, asleep.
The guard paused moment
before awakening the sleeper,
permitting grudging light of

of the guard. "What can anybody

The guards answer was inter

keys. Keifer admitted the gov

hard from the rigors of score
