					include a so-called commodity column rate which applies on commodities
					according to the column number to which they are assigned and are based on the
					particular rate basis number applicable between points of origin and
					destination in class tariffs, both which otherwise have none of the
					characteristics of a class rate. "Class tariffs" are those which contain class
					rates.
