"IoNG AND SHORT HAUL"
Practice Of Railways Sustained by In
terstate Commission.


The .lone and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce law was interpreted In
two decisions rendered by the interstate
commerce commission today.
The commission, in an opinion by Com
missioner Prouty, announced its decision
in the case of Gardner & Clark against the
Southern Railway Company. The points
of the decision are as follows:
The defendant railway company has had
in force since April Is. 1903, rates per 100
lbs. on bananas in carloads from Charles
ton. 8, c., which are 43 cents to Danville,
Va. and s5h cents to Lynchburg, Va, the
TRANSFORMATION to the latter point by de-
PENDANTS line being through Danville. The
lower rate at Luxembourg Is forced upon de-
PENDANT by the competition or bananas
coming from Baltimore. The Ascent rate
to Danvflle is not found to be unreason-
able. and upon these facts the higher rate
to Danville is not in violation of the act
to regulate commerce.
effect rates per 100 lbs. on bananas in car
loads from Charleston which were 43 cents
to Danville and 20 cents to Lynchburg. The
rate of 20 cents to Lynchburg was Ii cents
below the rate which was justified by COM
petition from Baltimore or elsewhere. Such
relation of rates was in violation OF sec
tons three and four OF the act to regulate
commerce, and complalnants upon the ship
are entitled to recover reparation to the
extent of 13 cents per 100 lbs, such excess
amounting upon 9complainants shipments
to $3.50.
Upon seventeen carloads of bananas de-
PENDANT allowed compliments to ship be-
tween May /, 1902, and April 20. 1908, from
Charleston to Lynchburg and unload half OF
the carloads at Danville, paying the Lynch
burg rate plus the local rate on the half
carloads carried from Lynchburg to Dam
vile. This was In disregard of defendants
regulations and resulted in charges below
those applicable under defendants publish
cd tariff. Complainants seek reparation
upon the basis of the Lynehburg rate and
defendant upon the basis Of it's tariff rate,
but neither is entitled to recover.
The commission, in an opinion by Com
missioner Yeomans, announced its decision
in the case of the Aberdeen Group Com
mercial Association against the Mobile IL
Ohio Railroad Company. The points of the
decision are as follows:
The defendant carrier Is justified in max
ing a lower scale of charges on freight
articles from st. Louis. Mo-. East st. Louis
and Cairo. H., to Mobile, Ala, Meridian.
