Interstate Commerce Commission rules shippers pay tariffs in coal case
The ICC ruled that one carrier must pay legal tariff rates when shipping fuel or supplies over another carrier's lines. The Hitchman Coal and Coke Co versus Baltimore and Ohio was denied inclusion in the west side freight group, avoiding a wide range of rate adjustments. The decision also holds that longer flour free time for New York may be justified by rail competition, but Philadelphia must extend similar terms if it offers advantages to any noncompetitive point.
