relation of rates, whether between localities
or commodities, classification of freight or

mine what rate, relation of rates, classical

found to exist, and it shall order the de-
fendant to observe the same"

necessary. The order fixing such rates is
TO be served twenty days before taking
effect Review of all cases by the Circuit
courts and the Supreme Court of the United

500 900. A fine of from $1.0U6 to 5000 is pro-
