ton moving through st. Louis. Defend
ants banana rates from Mobile and New
Orleans to Kansas City and adjacent
points are not found TO be unreasonable.
In the case of the Payne-Gardner Com
pany against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, also decided by Chair
man Knapp, the petition questions the
reasonab leness of the rate of 81 cents per
100 pounds applied by defendant to the
transportation Of sugar in carloads from
New Orleans, La. to Gallatin, Tenn, and
alleges that this rate constitutes unjust
discrimination against dealers at Gallatin
in favor of other shippers located at
Nashville. Tenn. and Bowling Green and
Louisville. Ky. The commission held that
the present rate of 81 cents is unreason-
able and that the reasonable rate should
not exceed % cents. Reparation was
awarded.
The commission further declared in this
case that advantage of location. such
proximity to "A navigable stream or strong
competition between carriers. naturally
result in lower rates 10 town so Sit
uated. and it is not the province OF the
commission to disturb the resulting rate
relations unless the discrepancy s so
great as to effect an unjust discrimina-
ton against the competitive point;
but the mere fact that a given town has
been recognized as a trade center. and Is
enabled by its more favorable rate adjust
ment to distribute in certain territory
cannot justify the continuance of relative
rates which result in undue preference
The law contemplates relatively fair rates
between different places. and the dealer
located in d small town is entitled TO a
reasonable adjustment which VIII enable
him to compete an equitao ole basis
with dealers AT trade centers enjoying the
benefit of competitive rates.

INTERSTATE TRADE RULINGS.
Commission Hands Down Decisions
in Number of Gases.

Decisions in a number of cases that have
been pending before the interstate COM
merce commission have been promulgated
for the benefit Of those interested.
In the case Of Charles England & Co.
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. decided by Commissioner Har-
Ian, it was held on the facts shown of
record that the shipper is entitled to re-
cover from the carrier $4SS6l repara-
ton on account of the exaction of I'M
lawful storage and insurance charges at
West Fairport. Ohio. on 5000 bushels of
rye; originating at Manitowoc, Wis, and
destined for Baltimore, Md.
In the cases of the Topeka Banana
Dealers Association against the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad Company and
others. and of the Missouri Valley Ban
ana Dealers Association against the ST.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad Com
pany and others. and of the Missouri and
Kansas Shippers Association against the
st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company and others, decided by Com
missioner Lane, the commission held that
the defendants rule of assessing charges
on the weight of bananas at point of orr
gin instead of on the weight of the fruit
at destination. Is not, under the circum-
stances of the case, unjust and unreason-
able. and that the fixing of the minimum
weight at 1000 pounds on shipments OF
bananas from New Orleans and Mobile
to points west OF the Mississippi river,
while assessing a minimum weight of 49,
900 pounds to Chicago and points east of
the river. does not result i'm undue dis
elimination. Ii appears that such diff
ference in minima is made to meet compe-
titiOn through Baltimore and that cars of
bananas from New Orleans and Mobile
are usually loaded from 1000 to 1000
pounds il excess Of the 1900 pound min

The complaint that section of the act

Then the Jockey Club will go before a
justice of the supreme court and ask for
an injunction from further interference

down. During this procedure, which no
doubt will take many months, as the case

made by the attorneys of the Jockey
