The Interstate Commerce Commission, in an opinion by Commissioner McDill, ruled in favor of the Toledo Produce Exchange and Edward Kempe of Boston against the Lake Shore, Michigan Central, New York Central and Boston & Albany railroads. It held that arbitrary through-rate differentials to Boston are unlawful and must be corrected by adding a percentage to the New York rate for shipments from Chicago and points east, west of Buffalo to Boston and New England. Defendants have twenty days to show cause by answer why an order should not issue to desist from the arbitrary differentials and apply a 10 percent increase over the New York rate to Boston and New England points. if no answer is filed, the order will be issued forthwith.
