AGAINST THE l.. & N.
Commission Decided That There
Was Discrimination i'm Rates.

Was Discrimf nation i'm Rates.
Washington, Dec. AIN the case of
S. Martens against the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, involv-
ing the long and short haul question,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day held that the lumber rate of 10
cents for the shorter haul from inter-
mediate points to Louisville, as against
8 cents for the longer haul from the
same points to Nashville, was unduly
discriminating. The commission decides
that difference of l cent in rates is
sufficient to offset the differences in
circumstances and conditions as be-
tween the two points, any greater diff
ference being in violation of the inter-
state commerce law.
