BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN
MAY MAKE JOINT RATES
Reversal of Previous Rulings by
I. c. G. Benefits Subsidiary Of
q. S. Steel Corporation.

AS a result of the reversal by the in
terstate commerce commission OF its
previous rulings, in which 1t was held
that allowances made by trunk lines
to industrial railways were. in effect.
illegal rebates, the commission held to-
day that the Birmingham Southern
railroad, owned by the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, a subsidiary Of the
United States Steel Corporation, was
a common carrier and entitled to make
joint rates with other carriers and to
receive divisions of such rates.
The change in the attitude of the
commission. particularly as it is stated
in the decision of today. affects not
only all the Industrial railways con-
trolled by the steel corporation, but
hundreds OF other short-line roads
which originally were constructed as
plant facilities of great industries.
In a dissenting opinion Chairman
Harlan held that the Birmingham
Southern was merely plant facility of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
and that allowances or divisions made
to it were practically only concessions
to the Tennessee company from the
regular freight rates and constituted
discrimination against other shippers.
