Defendant Lt/lCS Must Establish und Maintain il tai From Cliarleatou Not Exceeding Baltimore's. Washington, Feb. 2:5.?The inter State commerce commission has found certain existing rates on vegetables fron? the Charleston. .S. C, district to Buffalo, N. Y.. and Plttsburg, Pa., to be unreasonable, h;is dire ted the es? tablishment of a new rate on or be? fore April 15, and has ordered repara? tion On ohargSS already made. The complaint was tiled with the inter? state commerce commission by the National League of Commission Mer? chants of the United States, with of? fices In Buffalo, against the Atlantic Coast Line and other railroads. It is alleged that the through rate charged from Charleston, St. Andrews, Meg? gens, Young's island and other South Carolina points to Buffalo and Pltts? burg was In SXCess of the local rates between South Carolina and Balti? more, and between Baltimore and Buffalo and Plttsburg. The rates from Charleston are held to be too high and the rates on dis? trict branches are too much In excess of the Charleston rato. The railroads named in the complaint are required on or before April 15 to establish and for two years to maintain rates from Charleston and Pittsburg and Buffalo which shall not exceed the combina? tion of intermediate rates based on Baltimore and that the rates from the following points to Buffalo and Pitts burg shall not exceed the following differentials in cents per 100 pounds over the contemporaneous rates from Charleston: From Meggttts, Wadmalaw river and Young's Island, on potatoes, 2 cents; cabbage, 2.5 cents; vegetables not otherwise specified, 8 ents. From St. Andrews, on potatoes, 2 cents; cabbages, 2.5 cents; on vegetables not otherwise specified, 4 cents. The interstate commerce commis? sion has refused to grant the repara? tion asked for by the Georgia-Caro? line Brick company from the South? ern railway and others. The company shipped three carloads of brick from Augusta, Ga., to Calhoun Falls, over the Southern. The charge was greater than the charge on ,;!e brick shipped between the same points over rhc Charleston it Western Carolins railway. Although ? ratf was subsequently established by the utherr to ? qus' the rate charged by the other roads, the corn miss on held that the reduction by carriers of a rate via a long route equal to the rate via the short route Is not of Itself conclusive evidence of the unreasonableness of the higher rate, and claims for reparation based upon the ground that the rate was reduced to meet such short line rate must be denied. The complaint in this case was dlmlssed. SIGN CHARTER FOR RAILROAD. Governor Reconsiders His Determina? tion and Allows Piedmont und Northern Railroad a Charter.
