Rule threatens state industry in interstate trade dispute
Around the state, a heated dispute centers on Rule 10 of a proposed consolidated Classification list No 1 by the interstate commerce commission. Critics warn implementation would centralize jobbing in the East, hurt Montana merchants, and drive local retailers out of business by forcing carload orders at high rates. Proponents argue the rule could streamline shipments, but opponents say it would devastate Western jobbing, giving large eastern firms control and undercutting smaller merchants in Montana towns.

Private Charles La Pratt, the soldier who months ago stole a car in Anaconda and wrecked it in Butte, faces a similar charge. William Bucher, alias Bil Cherry, claims he merely accompanied La Pratt and is jailed. authorities weigh his involvement. The car belonged to Fred B. Cowles of 1110 East Sixth Street. Cowles says he picked up the two men, who then stole the car after a ring of keys was slipped from his ring at the garage. La Pratt blames alcohol. Bucher says he was unable to operate the Ford. They were arrested by Officers Connolly and Neckel in an alley near MacCallum & Cloutier store. La Pratt’s prior theft involved a downtown car grab and a later joy ride ending in a wreck and injuries, after which he was turned over to military authorities and required to pay repairs and serve time.
