 ton are much Impressed with the thoroughly alive traffic department of the 

 Ijimb-Klsh Lumber ("onipany. Charleston. Miss. This company Is very Ijusy 

 In ferreting out Injustices jind discriminations and Is thereby doing a serv- 

 ice to all lumtiir shippers In Its territory. 



A very Interesting point is lnvolve<l In Case Number 8212. on which oral 

 argument will be made before the commission In Washington. April 14. 

 The case Is against the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley, the Alabama & Vlcks- 

 barg, Alabama Great Southern and the Southern Rallwa.v. The object of 



the Ijimb'KUh iimiplalnt U to iieiure prol.-cllon of the low;-*! comblimtlnn 

 of raten. The <|ueailon arone over the rale on vidilcle niati'rlnl from 

 Charli-i.lon. Miss., to I'nionlown. Ala. The through rale asuessMl liy the 

 carriers was llfiy three cents. The I.,ainl> Fish company |Hdul<-<l out 

 that a combination of local ratis totaling thirty eight centi. was obtainable 

 by using the Selma, Ala., combination. The rate from Charleston to Selnm 

 U fourteen cents ami from Selma lo I'nionlown fourteen cents. 



The V. Ic M. V. iiuiile a|i|illcallon -to the commission for authority to 

 protect the Selma coiiililnalioii. Thi> original npplii'ntlun sbowetl the I^mb- 



Fl«h company as the b ncinry which reHiilliil In a ruling l>y the commla- 



slon that the Ijimli Fish company was a stranger lo the transacllon. Thia 

 was due to the fact that tin- ImihIiicks illil nol move under the iiniiie of the 

 Ijimli Fish company. Ily the time Ibis was sclileil two years had elapsed 

 and the commission refusiKl ti> grant the deslri-<l aulhurlly owing to the lim- 

 itation prescrllied In Sec. Itl of the act to reguhiti' commerce. 



The lumber company conlinds that regardless of other (acta, unjuat 

 nnil unreasonnltle transportation charges have been exacted. 



The Interest In the case arises largidy from the fact that numerous other 

 complaints Involving the same principle are pending.
