(I3y Associated Press,)
WASHINGTON, March 2l.--The Inter-
state Commerce Commission to-day gave
out for publication the following notice.
Upon reports to the commission that
many shippers In and about the city OF
New York have been persistcntly UNDER
billing and rnisreprescntlns freight ship
ped by railroads from that city and other
points in Eastern TERRITORY. the COM
mission has ordered an Investigation
and set the matter down for hearing in.
New York March 23d 1t is expected
that some highly Interesting develop
merts will take place indicating fraud on
the part OF tho shippers, which amount
to forced rebates from published tariff
rates
( a member OF the commission stated
to-day that the commission proposes to
20 to the very bottom OF the alleged
frauds and false description OF prop
crty. They would see. he said. what the
investigation developed before entering
into consideration OF the question OF
criminal prosecution
In this instance, said the member,
I've will most assurcdly apply the cor
rective Of publicity. The hearing has
reference to alleged frauds by shippers
through Undertaking., false description
OF property and other similar devices.
1t is reported to the commission that in
numerous. instances shippers actually
sending iarticles that belong In one OF
the higher classes describe them by a
different name. which would place them
In lower class. and 80 get the advant-a
age of the lower rate. This operates not
only to defraud the carriers OF revenues
to which they are entitled, but also has
the effect OF serious discrimination
against the honest shipper, who must
meet his competitor in common markets"
