LIFTING OF RAIL
SURCHARGES ASKED
By the Associated Press.
Abandonment of some emergency
freight rate surcharges to prevent
losses to truck competition yesterday
was asked of the Interstate Commerce
Commission by a number of railroads.
The Chicago, Milwaukee. St. Paul
& Pacific Railroad Co.; the Great
Northern Railway: the Chicago. St.
Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad:
the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie Railway, and the Canadian
National Railways filed petitions ask
ing tlie commission's permission to
abandon the surcharges on coal from
Duluth. Minn., and Superior, Wis..
to points in Minnesota and those
points in Wisconsin intermediate to
Superior and Minnesota points.
They contended 2,600.000 tons of
coal were on the docks at Duluth and
Superior and that the railroads stood
to lose a large business to trucks un
less the 15-cent-a-ton surcharge was
removed.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad and
the Canadian National Railways
simultaneously asked removal of the
surcharges on newsprint paper from
various points in the province of Que
bec and from Ottawa, Ontario, to
points in the United States, again
mentioning truck competition.
