IS BUSY
ON COAST
STARTS THREE DAY SESSION IN
HEARING OF CASE AGAINST
WELLS FARGO AGENTS BE-
FORE COMMERCE COMMISSION

SAN FRANCISCO. Ian. 10
Franklin X. Lane of the interstate
commerce commission instituted a
three days sitting in San Francisco
todfy. with a hearing In one of the
cases OF the California Commercial
association against Wells Fargo &
Co. express agents. The matter in
VOWED was directly related TO the
main issue in other cases of similar
title, which maintain group OF San
Francisco business houses have
sought a ruling enabling them to
consolidate express shipments in New
York and bill TO common eonsignee
in San Francisco In todays hear
ing. the complainant sought TO col
leet a refund of payments made last
fall. when the express company agent
IN New York refused an aggregate
bulk rate upon 4 number of packages
intended for the same consignee upon
the same day. II was shown that the
packages which were consigned TO
the California Commercial associa-
tion. bore individual numbers which
corresponded TO the names of firms
having membership, but that the eX-
press company had enforced the In
dividual package rate until they had
been furnished with certificate
showing that these numbers desig-
mated one consignee and one only.
As To certain matters of fact involved
II was agreed that depositions should
be taken in New York. and the mat
ter was submitted. Commissioner
Lane ordering that the last brief
should be submitted within period
of 60 days.
The main case against the express
company. wherein the California
Commercial CO.. is TO support its
claim 10 the right 10 consolidate
shipments in New York. will come up
for supplemental hearing tomorrow
and will probably occupy the entire
day. The complaints of the Jobbers'
association against the Southern Pa
cife Co, based upon the protest
against switching charges, will be the
basis of Wednesdays hearings.
In another of the related cases,
wherein a partial hearing has been
had before the commission, Commis-
sioner Lane promised to prefer re-
quest for further argument before
the entire commission at Washing
ton II was agreed. however. that
no action would be taken until the
decision upon the reasonableness of
the rates is handed down.
