AGAINST THE RAILROADS.
An Important Interstate Commerce ID
cisi. Handed Down.

cisf Handed Down.
WAsHrNar, Feb S--rhe interstate com
merse commis on in an opinion by Commits
sioner Neazey as rendered decision in the
case Of Herycy Bates and H. Bates, Jr.,
owners Of the Indianapolis Hominy mills,
against the Pennsylvania company and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company IN
favor Of complainants- This case involved
the question OF whether difference IN the
rates ON corn and corn products from In
dianapolis east to seaboard points Is legal.
The main points OF the decision, adverse TO
the railroad companies, are as follows: The
defense Of water competition from Chicago
and the lake shipping points to seaboard
points east, as a justification for an other
wise unjustihable discrimination in rate be-
tween corn and its direct products from In
diannpolis 10 these seaboard points, il held TO
be untenable owing to the situation Of In
dianapblis as TO the lakes, and to the loca-
tion Of the territory where the corn was
mainly raised that was marketed at Indian
apolis, and 10 other facts established In this
case.
When an existing classification and rate
are not shown TO operate injurionsly TO the
carriers from given point, or to give un-
due advantage 10 shippers, a change is not
iustifable that materially INJURIES an ini-
portant industry and class OF shippers at
that point who have there built up tho in
dustry in reliance upon a continuation Of
the previous classification and rate FIRST
established. Such change in classification
and rate would subject the persons engaged
| in the industry 70 unreasonable dsad-
vantage within the prohibition Of section
/ Of the interstate commerce. law.
A discrimination between the rate on corn
and its direct products from given locality
resulting from a reduction Of the rate on
corn below tho rate on its direct products
which subjects persons in that locality On
gagged in the business Of manufacturing corr
into its direct products, and Of selling th
same, 70 unreasonable prejudice or disad
vantage, and without necessity oradvantag'
10 the carrier or any reason founded on th'
character or condition of the traffic, is hel,
TO be in violation Of section OF the act Il
regulate commerce. Notwithstanding tn
fact that the new rate on corn was open q
all persons equally and with equal service.
1t Is also decided that when carriers, othe
than the respondents Of record, are commit
} ting the same violations Of the act TO regulat
commerce as the respondents, an order ma
issue against the respondents aud tho case
held for the purpose Of bringing such oth'
carriers into the case to be proceeded again
, unless they comply with the order.
