Visions of the bill are summarized as
follows:
IL defines the word transportation,

all instrumentalities employed by the
arrier or other parties for refrigera-
lion, ventilation or other purposes,
and requires the carrier to furnish
such transportation upon reasonable
request of the shippers, publishing the
total charges for such transportation

1t gives TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power, where rates
and practices of railways are COM
planned of by individuals or corpora
tions, including other carriers, or trade
organizations, or municipal corpora
tions, as unjust or unreasonably dis
criminatory, to determine upon full
hearing what Just and reasonable
rate or practice is which should take
the place of the rate or practices con-
iemned by the commission. And IN
discharging this duty the commission
is given power:
ITO fix a maximum rate.
ITO fix differential and to prescribe
both maximum and minimum rates.
to enforce the same when that may
be necessary to prevent discrimination
forbidden by the bin. but not other
wise"
ITO change the classification Of the
article"
1t also provides that where the own
er of the property transported renders
any service in connection with the
transportation. or furnishes instru-
mentality used. the commission may
on complaint determine what is a
reasonable charge to be paid by ear
riers for such service or Instrumental
ty.
In case the carriers complained of
object to putting orders of the COM
mission into effect their right to have
the same reviewed in the circuit court
of the United States is provided for
and an elaborate form of procedure
is outlined.
If a carrier does not comply Nith

ingly fail or neglect to obey the same
they shall forfeit to the United States
$4,000 for each offense. Each viola
ton shall be deemed separate offense
and a continuance of the violation
shall be deemed separate offense.
