No Arbitrary Differentials Ordered by Interstate Commerce Panel
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled against arbitrary through rate differentials to Boston, requiring carriers to add a percentage to New York rates for shipments from Chicago and east to Boston and New England. The decision, in favor of Toledo Produce Exchange and Edward Kemble, directs carriers to show cause by answer why orders should not issue to desist the arbitrary charges and apply a 10 percent increase to New York rates unless responses are filed.
