st. Louis, No., March IA, 1921.
Mr.. w. N. Davidson,
President Bank Of st. Joseph,
st. Joseph, La.
Dear Sir:
Your letters of the 18th and goth
ult., with respect to rates on grain and
products in less than carloads from
Natchez and Vicksburg to st. Joseph,
Louisiana, and nearby points, were
duly received.
The general practice, almost uni
versal throughout our lines, Is that
shipments Of grain, grain products
and hay are made In carloads at
reasonable rates, and to make the
practice uniform on our line in the
several states and to avoid descrimi-
nation, It was deemed proper to can
eel the commodity rates which were
In effect In Louisiana and relegate
such shipments to the class rates to
which they belong.
The changes were forced upon us
to remove the discrimination between
state and interstate rates complained
Of by shippers and to provide a more
reasonable basis of rates for both
state and interstate movement.
The station expenses Of handling,
checking, loading, unloading and bill
ing these less than carload shipments
Ia much greater than for full car lots,
where the loading is done by the ship
per and the unloading by the receiv-
er and fully justify a higher rate than
that charged for a full car lot.
While the difference in the rates
may effect . change in commercial
practice, am sure, it will eventually
rebound more to the benefit of the
community than If the old order Of
rates prevailed, for the reason that
dealers viii more likely avail them
selves Of the lower carload rates than
formerly, which will enable them to
distribute the goods in adjacent towns
~ against vicksburg or Natchez.
II there should be case where q
ear lot would be more than required
By any one dealer, he could easily get
others to join with him to take part
Of the goods and thus secure the ben
eft Of the lower carload rate.
The arrangement, in any event, is
the best we could devise in order to
sstisfy the complaints of shippers and
avoid the discrimination charged
against ~ - to state and interstate
ratsA
Yours truly,
C. E. PERKINS.

Mr.. c. e. Perkins, Vice President
N. p. Railroad Co., St. Louis,
No.
! have your favor Of the 14th
inst. File AB-516.
am disposed to agree with you
when you say that your rates on
grain and grain products and hay
in car lots are reasonable, but the
fact that these rates are reasonable
10 evidence that the less than car
load rate, which is from 200To ct
5000 more than carload rate, is
both unreasonable and unjust, and
In direct violation Of the Interstate
Commerce law, which provides es-
pseially that all charges shall be- just
and reasonable.
] realize that it costs more to q
carrier to handle less than carload
shipments than carloads, but l do
not believe you win tell me that this
additional cost is anything like $500.
And to the extent that your less than
carload rates exceed the carload rate
by the difference in the cost Of hand
ling, you are guilty Of discrimination
in favor Of the larger shipper as
against the smaller shipper. In proof
Of my statement that your less than
carload rates are not just and reas-
enable, ! invite your attention to the
fact that the lines East Of the Mis-
sissippi River have very much lower
difference between carlot and less
than car-lot rates. To illustrate, you
viii find that the rate on grain from
Richmond, Va, and other cities, to
Vieksburg, Miss, is Coo in carloads
and 6bhc in less than carloads.
an advised furthermore, that
this difference is about the usual
difference made by lines East Of the
River. II the general practice With
your Company with shipments West
Of the River is to make the less than
carload rate 260% more than the
carload rate, respectfully suggest
that this difference is not just and
not reasonable and constitutes dis
elimination against the smaller ship
psrs ON your hnss.
Very respectfully,
'skx W. N. DAVIDSON.
