carrier will, at his own cost defray
the expense of its change in form
en- route. because of the easier hand
ling in the more compact shape, as,
for example Cowan V. Bond, 80 Fed.
Rep. "a, where a railroad company
receiving cotton in Louisiana for ship
ment to mills in New England had it
compressed ell route at Vicksburg at
its own expense, charging the shipper
no more than if it had carried the un-
compressed cotton all the way, the
same privilege being open to all ship
pers. That has no analogy to this
case, where the plaintiff is shipping
logs to it's mill in Wilmington, and is
charged nearly one fifth more freight
than others, unless it will agree TO
ship its lumber out of Wilmington
over the defendants road. Among
other cases in point are Wichita Lum-
Der case, 8 /. G. c. $50, at PIP. 572, $40,
$50; the "Tap Lines cases, 10 /. C.
c. 1913; Packet Company V. Railroad,
But Independent of any decision,
our statute (Which nearly copies the
English Traffic Act" and the United
States Interstate Commerce Act" in
this and many other respects) is too
explicit to be misconstrued. The
Corporation Commission Act" Laws
1899, chapter 164, provides (section
49, that if any common carrier shall
charge CT collect from any person
or persons a greater or less compen-
sation for any service rendered or TO
be rendered in the transportation of
passengers or property, subject to the
provisions of this act, than IL charges,
demands or collects or receives from
any other person or persons for do
ing for him or them a like ans con-
temporaneous service in the trans
portation of like kind of traffic,
under substantially similar circum-
stances and conditions, such common
carrier shall be deemed guilty of UNI
just discrimination, which is hereby
prohibited and declared to be unlaw
fu.."
There are other errors assigned in
the admission of evidence, in the
charge, and in matters of practice,
but in view of the error in this mat
ter of vital interest to the public at
large and especially to the business
interests of the State, it will be I'M
necessary to consider them. The
plaintiff had a right to have its logs
carried to it's mill at the same rate
as Others without binding itself to
ship it's lumber by the defendants
line, or indeed to ship it at all.
Error
