Interstate freight rates questioned from St Paul to Minot
The State Day by Day reports a protest over what appears to be an excessive freight rate from St Paul to Minot. A 30 pound stationery shipment cost 1.10 by mail, near the mall rate, while a 100 pound or less rate was fixed at 1.10. The piece notes local St Paul to Grand Forks rates at 61 cents per 100 pounds, Minot via Grand Forks at 63 cents with a 25 cent minimum, suggesting routes that let small packages reach Minot indirectly cheaper than direct shipping. No action has yet been taken, but the matter may reach the interstate commerce commission.
