WAsnISGroN, July 1.-THE Inter.
State Commerce Commission to-day De.
cided the three cases Of Proctor {
Gamble against the Cincinnati, Humii.
ton & Dayton Railroad Company and
others in favor OF the complainants. The
opinion was written by Commissioner
Veasey. 1t states that the complainan,s
arc large manufacturers of soap at Gin.
ciunsti, Ohio. In the ci!icial classiHca-
ton common soap stands in tho fifth
class in car load lots. The defendant
railroad companies have always given it
the fifth class, but for many years
prior to May, 1889, they charged
the complainants for only net
weight, the gross weight being ous-
sixth more than net weight, but since
May, 1889, they have charged for gross
weight without diminishing the rate
per hundred pounds. The effect OF this
was, says the opinion, to charge one
sixth more for the service than had be
fore been charged. The Charge for
transportation under the net weight
practice, the Commissioner iinds, was
reasonable and just, aud without com.
plant on the part Of the shippers or
carriers. It is, therefore, held that the
increased charge by the device OF chars-
ing for the gross weight, being one sixth
advance for the same service, was un.
warranted, rs it operated to make the
rate unreasonable.
