WILL SEEK To
RECOVER THE
OvERCHARGES
The SAUNDERS FISH COMPANY
OF THIS CITY WILL INSTITUTE
SUIT AGAINST THE SOUTHERN
EXPRESS COMPANY.

IaEing advantage of a clause in
ne ueclslon making express rates OF
N1oolIe ana Pensacola more equal
Gnu piaclns them really on an equal
y oasis, Captain Welles, of the e. E.
,auhuefs Fish Company, yesterday
gave the Southern Express COMPANY
notice of his intention to early insti.
ute SUIT for the recovery of all over
charges made on shipments of FISH
from this point for the past two
years and one month, or since the
me or the proceedings brought by
the fish company to the attention OF
TIE United States Interstate Com
merce Commission.
IL Is asserted in the decision that
the right to recover, whatever may
De proven overcharges, is given in
the courts, the clause giving this
rlght reading as follows:
May Seek Redress.
The carriage of traffic bv a com.
mon carrier for one community or
one set OF shippers at less than, it
carries the same traffic for like dis
lance and under substantially SINH
lar transportation conditions, for an
uhner community or another set of
Shippers, is not only in contravention
OF fundamental right and Justice, but
IL Is essentially Ubiquitous. If such
discrimination is practiced by a com
mon carer as between communities
or dlHerent sets of shippers, within
the same state and on traffic moving
only within the state, redress may
usually be hHd under the state laws.
On the otter hand, if the interstate
carrier IS guilty of such a discrimi
natlon with respect to interstate traf.
nc, redress may be had under the
acc to regulate commerce"
While the decision, which is of ma
Jlonal Importance and farreaching
IN scope, places the rates out of Pen
sacola the Same as are obtaining
from Mobile, it does not lower the
rate, so far as the language of the
decision goes. But the local com
pany would have to fight the Ala
bama State Commission, which or
dered the rate lowered, were the
present one increased.
Inc question was taken up for ad-
Justment to the Inter state Commits
sion Just twenty-five months ago. and
the local company is of the opinion
that all charges differing from those
obtaining since that time from Mo
pile, are overcharges, and will seek
TO recover, through civil action. the
amount thus expended. For instance
the rate on barrel of fish from Pen.
sacola to Birmingham was quoted at
Sl.f5, while for the same commodity
from Mobile, and about the same
maui, quotation is made at S1.1O, or
