RATES ON LIGNITE SCREENINGS IS CUT 85 Per Cent Reduction for In- ; trastate Hauling Ordered by = Rail Board ‘A 18 per cent reduction in rates for the intrastate hauling of lignite coal ®creenings in North Dakota was or- Gered Friday by the state railroad commission in upholding complaints ‘of state mill and elevator and Great- er Grand Forks Traffic association. The action claimed rates on lignite screenings moving to, from or via Grand Forks from other points in the; state were unreasonable and discrim- initory, because rates for screenings ‘were identical with rates for move- ‘ment of lignite lump coal. The ac- tion was started in September, 1933. ‘The rates were made 85 per cent of| the lignite rate. In its findings, the commission said, “this is the first complete and ex- fhaustive investigation ever made by this body into the rates of screenings ws differentiated from lignite lump. “The compjainants’ .. proposal flemonstrates there will be no reduc- tion in the defendant’s revenue but 4s designed to increase and preserve their revenue.” The new rates effective September 85 are: Single line rates in cents per net ton 000 DON’T LET COMMON CONSTIPATION DULL THE JOY OF LIVING Kelloge’s ALt-Bran Brings Relief Constipation takes the sunshine ut of your days. It may bring headaches, loss of appetite and energy, sleeplessness, sallow skins, pimples. Fortunately, you can avoid this condition by eating a delicious ce- real. Laboratory tests show that Kelloge’s ALt-Bran provides two things needed to help overcome com- mon constipation: “bulk” and vita- min B. ALt-Bran is also a rich source of blood-building iron, ‘The “bulk” in Att-Bran is much like that of leafy vegetables. With- in the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the intestinal wastes, How much better than dosing yourself with patent medicines. Two tablespoonfuls of Att-Bran daily are usually sufficient. With ed the Great Northern railroad and Farmers Grain and Shipping company shall be considered as a single line. The rates are subject to an 80,000 pound-per-car carload minimum weight limit, except when cars of leas | capacity are furnished by the carrier, when the marked capacity of the car furnished will govern. Joint rates are to be made by add- ing 20 cents per net ton to the single line rates. “Distances shall be com- puted via the shortest available routes where there are track connections. Regardless of the number of carriers participating in the haul, not more than one arbitrary addition of 20 cents per net ton shall be added to the single line rate for the continuous distance.” “Lignite screenings shall be defined a follows: Screenings consist of all’ lignite that will pass through a two-{ inch bar screen or other screen with} perforations not to exceed two inches in diameter.” SINCLAIR DEBATES RE-ENTERING RACE Congressman at Washington Says He is ‘Seriously Con- sidering’ Matter Washington, Aug. 4—(#)—Back at his desk for the first time since his primary defeat, Rep. Sinclair (R-ND) said Priday he was “seriously consid- ering” making the race as an inde- pendent. 3 He said he had not reached a decis- ion but was “weighing the matter care- fully.” He said he had been urged from many sources to permit his name to be placed on the fall ticket either @s @ progressive or as an independent. candidate. Sinclair was eliminated in the Re- publican primary by a scant margin, after serving 16 consecutive years in the house. He bowed to Usher Bur- dick, head of the state Farm Holiday organization, in the landshde which nominated William Langer, convicted governor. Sinclair said he would remain in Washington for a few days to clean up business affairs and to intercede with the department of agriculture in an effort to speed up machinery for car- rying out the president's proclama- tion authorizing the treasury to lift the tariff on Canadian feed for ship- ment into drouth states Sinclair said farmers in the north- ern area of North Dakota would be able to save enough cattle for founda- tion herds if the $5 a ton duty on hay were listed. He said some cheap feed was available a few miles across the border.
