FRAUD ON RAILWAYS
NIPPED BY CAMPAIGN
Victory In Damage Claim Case
Prosecuted By The Com
merce Commission.

The interstate commerce COM
mission has gained a victory in
its campaign against commission
companies which for years have
defrauded railroads through
claims for alleged damage to
goods in shipment, when the
Davidson Brothers Commission
Company of Des Moines pleaded
guilty to such a charge in the
United States district court at
St. Louis yesterday and was fin
ed $500.
The suit grew out of claims
filed by the Davidson company
with several southern railroads
for alleged damage to peaches
! shipped in 1912. The company
asked for SIS, 900, alleging that
the shipments were delayed,
roughly handled and not given
proper refrigeration facilities.
The Davidson company and two
other firms were indicted on evi-
dence collected by the commerce
commission.
