THE FREIGHT ON MOSS. 



The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has rendered a decision upon the legal- 

 ity of the rates on moss from Mather, 

 Wis., to Chicago, which were the sub- 

 ject of a recent complaint by Vaughan 's 

 geed Store, Chicago, against the C, 

 M. & St. P. R. R. The complainant at- 

 tacked the rate and the minimum car- 

 load weight on moss in bales. The pres- 

 ent charge is 13 cents per hundred 

 pounds, with a minimum weight of 34,- 



000 pounds to the car. The commission 

 says the lawful rate is 12.1 cents and 

 the company was therefore overcharged 

 nearly a cent per hundred pounds. In 

 1913 a rate of 22 cents, with a minimum 

 weight of 15,000 pounds, was estab- 

 lished by order of the commission in the 

 case of the W. W. Barnard Co. vs. the 

 C, M. & St. P. R. R., the commission 

 then ruling that any higher rate from 

 Mather to Chicago wag unreasonable. 

 The present decision reaflBrms the old 

 one and is favorable to the shippers.
