DECISION AGAINST
WESTERN RAILROAD
Interstate Commerce Commission Holds
It Violated Law.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has announced a decision adverse to the
defendant in the case Of Proctor & Gam
bic Company, complainant, against the
Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton Rail
way Company. and others. defendants
The complaint, sustained by the com
mission, alleges that action OF the de-
PENDANTS in increasing the classification
Of soap in less than carloads from
fourth TO third class freight was I'M
reasonable and in violation of the act
to regulate commerce
The action of the defendants in pIac-
ing soap in carloads with common
grades of grocery and other small
merchandise in the fifth class Of their
freight classification. and refusing to
reduce soap in carloads to the sixth
class, which includes only low grade
freights, Is held not to be unlawful
while other articles with which carload
soap is properly compared are retained
IN the fifth class of such classification.
But the commission holds that the fifth
class rates in this territory are exces-
sive.
