Reparation Plea for Western Peach Shipments
R D Kelly of Piowaty Downs Co seeks reparation before the Interstate Commerce Commission for about 40 carloads of peaches shipped 1919 from Idaho Utah and Colorado into Michigan. Shippers paid 1 44 per cwt then faced later demands up to 1 91 per cwt for deliveries to Saginaw Bay City and Lansing. Michigan Central and railroad officials disputed the claim, citing 1919 government supervision. Kelly argues blanket 1 44 rate should apply and discriminatory charges are unjust. Case heard in Washington after a dispute with the carrier and the ICC examiner.
