Carriers Upheld
in Appeal From
Rate Decision
Shippers Can Recover Only
Damages Actually Proved,
Ruling in Short-Long
Haul Controversy.

Washington, April 7.-Shippers
charged higher rates for short hauis
than the published rates for longer
hauls on the same railroad and IN
the same direction can only recover
such actual damages as they can
prove, the supreme court held today.
In an opinion by Justice Mercy.
nolds, it declared the fact that the
rate for the longer haul was lower
than the rate for the shorter haul
would not of itself establish which OF
the two was the unreasonable rate.
The question reached the court In
four cases. Three came from the
Pacific coast, being brought against
the Portland Seed company and A. j.
harrington. who won in the lower
courts. The fourth case came from
Minnesota, and was brought by the
Great Northern railway against the
McCaullDinsmore company.
Shippers Recover.
In all the cases the evidence showed
that the railroads had in effect, with.
out the permission of the Interstate
Commerce commission charged rates
which were higher for a short than
for a long haul. The shippers in the
lower courts succeeded in recovering
alleged overcharges on freight. the
Essential charge being. that the car.
rier demanded and received greater
compensation for transporting freight
for a shorter distance than its pub
lished rate for transporting like prop
erty for longer distance over the
same route and In the same d.
rection."
The shippers contended that under
the long and short haul clause the
lower published rate became the maxi
mum which the carrier could charge.
notwithstanding the higher published
rate and that any amount collected
above the rate for the long haul
amounted TO an illegal exaction. re-
coverable without other proof OF
actual damage and without regard to
