Examiner D. H. Mattlnply of Washington last week took testimony In 

 the matter of complaints lodged with the Interstate Commerce Commis- 

 sion by shippers In this territory against various railway companies. 

 Complaint of the Prendergnst Company vs. the .Mabamn Great Southern 

 Railroad, Involving rates on lumber from .\kron, C,a., to points In 

 Canada, occupied the attention of the examiner in the afternoon session. 

 The next day the complaint of W. H. Settle & Co. against the Alabama 

 Great Southern. Involving rates on lumber to Madlsonvllle. O.. a Cin- 

 cinnati suburb, and that of the K. C. Bradley Lumber Company vs. the 

 New Orleans Great Southern Railroad. Involving the rate on a carload of 

 lumber shipped from Smith. Ala., to Coburg, Ont., Can. Settle & Co. 

 claim tliat the rates on lumber from the South and Southeast are higher 

 to Madisonville than to Cincinnati proper and that there Is a discrimina- 

 tion in favor of Oakley. Norwood and East Norwood, all located within 

 the switching limits of Cincinnati. The Bradley Company complains 

 that the bill of lading covering the shipment was marked for reconslgn- 

 ment at Cincinnati and that It was called upon to pay a combination 

 instead of a through rate. 



Later Examiner Mattlnply went to Dayton. O., and heard two com- 

 plaints from shippers In the Gem city. H. C, Hossafous, lumber dealer, 

 protested against the rate charged between Dayton and Cambridge. Ind., 

 whereas a less rate Is said to be charged on similar shipments betiveen 

 this city and Lewlston, Ind., a more distant point. Srerc Brothers, pulp 

 manufacturers of Franklin, O., attacked the new rate commodity. It 

 was stated to the examiner that prior to .Tuly, 1914. pulp was fourth 

 class or less than carload lots and sixth class on carload lots or greater. 

 The present classification raises the rate to third class for less than car 

 lots and fifth for greater.
