NOTE-There are 10 published export
rates on file u Galveston New or
leans from Kansas City. either straight
or proportional, via c. r. J. & P. rail-
way. Rates 10 New Orleans apply only
by the Missouri Pacific railway and the
! ST. Louis & San Francisco railroad.
5-That compartments believe and there
/ upon aHege that the export rates actually
applied by defendants on grain from
/ Wichita and Kansas City to Galveston
and New Orleans are substantially 2Sz
! cents on wheat and &c cents on other
/ grain from Wichita, and Is cents on all
grain from Kansas City; and that the
/ export rates applied TO New York are
/ substantially 90 cents on wheat and 35ia
i
I PENDANT railroads permit shippers at
/ Kansas City to hold grain which has been
consigned to them from other points in
definitely and finally allow them TO ship
said grain from Kansas City to Cal
weston or New Orleans at the rate OF
Is cents per 100 pounds, while nominally
a proportional rate is in fact the local
rate charged shippers at Kansas City by
the defendants on consignments OF grain
from said city to Galveston and New Or
leans. That on through shipments Of
grain from Wichita TO Galveston the rates
are in most cases based on the local
rate 10 Kansas City, plus i cents from
kansas City TO Galveston. although the
natural route Tor such traffic is direct
from Wichita and not through Kansas
City. THAT substantially the same sit
nation exists with reference 10 rates on
-four and other grain products from
Wichita to Kansas City TO Galveston and
New Orleans"
G-That the rates charged by defendant
as hereinabove set forth for the trans
portation Of grain and grain products for
exports from Wichita to Galveston and
New Orleans are unjust and unreasouabl
generally. and relatively as compared
with the rates from Kansas City 70 said
points in violation of the act to regu-
late commerce; and subject complaint
ants. the city OF Wichita and an mr.
chants, dealers and shippers therein to
unjust and unreasonable preference and
advantage of Kansas City and merchants
dealers and shippers therein, In violation
o. section and 3 of said act. That in
cases where such traffic from Kansas
City to Galveston passes through Fich-
ita said charges constitute greater COM
pensatiou in the aggregate f1r the trans
pOrtati0u of like kind OF property under
substantially similar circumstances and
conditions for the shorter distance from
Wichita to Galveston than for the longer
distance over the same line, in the same
direction, from Kansas City to Calves
ton, the shorter being included within the
longer distance. in violation Of section 4
Of said act
Wherefore compliments pray that the
defendants be severally required to ans
wer the charges herein. and that after
due hearing and investigation an order
be made commanding the defendants, an
each and every one Of them. to wholly
cease and desist from each and every Of
regulate commerce. and that such other
and further order or orders may be en-
tered as the commission may deem neces1
sary in the premises and compliments
cause may appear TO require.
