ACTS OF CONGRESS. See CLAYTON ANTITRUST ACT; PANAMA CANAL ACT; TRANSPORTATION ACT, 1920.

ADEQUACY OF SERVICE AND FACILITIES.

A rail carrier may not be required to turn traffic over to a municipal or private competing facility at a port and absorb the port charges of the facility to which the traffic is delivered when it has provided facilities to accommodate the traffic itself, as it has the right to perform any transportation service which it may lawfully be required to perform. age Charges at Atlantic and Gulf Ports, 663 (685).

Wharf

On further hearing in the investigation of rail-water terminal facilities, the scope of which was broadened in 93 I. C. C. 609 to include ports at north Atlantic as well as south Atlantic and Gulf ports, such facilities were not shown to be insufficient or inadequate to accommodate the export, import, coastwise, and intercoastal traffic, but were found reasonably adequate to meet the normal traffic needs. Id. (670-671, 689, 692).

ADJACENT FOREIGN COUNTRY.

In General: The commission, having jurisdiction over that portion of transportation taking place within the United States, has the power to determine whether a joint rate between a point in the United States and a point in an adjacent foreign country has been unreasonable and unduly prejudicial in the past. Atlantic Lumber Co. v. Louisville & N. R. Co., 236 (237).

Canada:

Atlantic Lumber Co. v. Louisville & N. R. Co., 236.

New River Lumber Co. v. Chesapeake & O. Ry. Co., 329.
Shredded Wheat Co. v. New York Central R. Co., 479.

ADJUSTMENTS AND RELATIONSHIPS. See also DISTURBANCE OF ADJUST

MENT.

In General:

As a result of the southwestern revision the group adjustment of long standing was broken up and superseded by an entirely new adjustment and plan of making rates. Pennington Produce Co. v. Texas & Pac. Ry. Co., 229 (232).

Complainant was entitled to have rates to any limited part of central territory adjusted, but as the relief prayed affected a comprehensive, complicated, and important rate adjustment, the justification should have been clear. Adams-Bank Lumber Co. v. Aberdeen & Rockfish R. Co., 280 (292–295).

ADJUSTMENTS AND RELATIONSHIPS-Continued.

In General-Continued.

Proposed rates from each origin group to each destination group could
not be considered separately by detailed comparisons in a general
readjustment of broad scope. Id. (305).

Localities:

Colorado points: Strauss & Son v. Denver & S. L. Ry. Co., 371.
Florida points: South Georgia Traffic Bureau v. Atlanta B. & C. R. Co.,

Western and eastern Alabama groups: Adams-Bank Lumber Co. ..
Aberdeen & Rockfish R. Co., 280 (291-292, 296-306, 306-307).
ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS.

Rules of Practice: Rule V: As it did not affirmatively appear whether
certain complainants were corporations, firms, or individuals, the Rule
V statements were to be accompanied with affidavits stating whether
complainants were corporations, firms, individuals, or partnerships;
and if partnerships, the names of the partners were to be given. Brannon
Coal Co. v. Southern Ry. Co., 486 (488).
Tariff Circular 18-A:

Rule 4(c): The fact that proportional rates claimed to be applicable
were not published in the tariff and no reference was made in that
tariff to other tariffs publishing the rates, as required by Tariff
Circular 18-A, would tend to indicate that the rates sought were
not applicable. While the applicability of tariffs or rates does not,
as a rule, depend on compliance with the commission's tariff-publish-
ing requirements, it is a matter which should be given consideration in
determining the intention as between two tariffs contemporaneously
published by the same publishing agent over a long term of years,
the carriers being presumed to comply with the commission's regula-
tions. Hertz Leather Co. v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 702 (707).
Rule 77:

Ciresi Fruit Co. v. Chicago & N. W. Ry. Co., 233 (234–235).
Federated Metals Corp. v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 242.

Gordon Candy Co. v. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co., 563 (567).

AFFIDAVITS. See PROOF AND EVIDENCE (AFFIDAVITS).

AGENT.

In the absence of competent evidence that complainants made the shipments
or paid or bore the charges thereon, or that the traffic investigator who
signed both the formal and informal complaints was duly authorized to
act for complainants, reparation was denied. Hawley v. Atchison, T. & S.
F. Ry. Co., 345.

AGGREGATE OF INTERMEDIATES. See THROUGH AND LOCAL.
ALLOWANCES.

The commission has, on application of carriers, authorized payment by
them of allowances to shippers of specific amounts as compensation for
switching, spotting, and other services without prejudice to its right
thereafter to make such findings and orders in the premises as appeared
proper. In several cases reparation has been awarded because of refusal
of carriers to pay allowances for various services. Roach Creek Coal
Mines v. Ann Arbor R. Co., 103 (108).
ALTERNATIVE RATES AND RULE. See also TARIFF INTERPRETATION.
The class rate, being lower than the commodity rate, was applicable under an
alternative rule which provided for the application of the class rate if
lower. Boger & Crawford v. Seaboard Air Line Ry. Co., 227 (228).
ANALOGOUS ARTICLES. See also COMPARATIVE RATES.
First-class 1. c. 1. rate on beverage cooling and dispensing outfits was applica-
ble by analogy under the item "Beverage Dispensing Urns, n. o. i. b. n.,
with Faucets, or Pumps, * * * L. C. L." as the commodity shipped
fell more nearly within that description than within the description
"Refrigerators, n. o. i. b. n. * * *"which were accorded a second-class
rating. Southern Traffic & Audit Asso. v. Missouri-K.-T. R. Co., 361
(365).

The analogy rule requires that a proper rating be provided when that rule
is invoked, and that the classification should accordingly be amended so as
to provide a specific rating on the commodity. Id. (365).

First-class 1. c. 1. rating on beverage cooling and dispensing outfits was not
unreasonable as the same rating applied on wooden water coolers which
were analogous in many respects. Id. (365).

From a transportation standpoint clean rice and sugar are analogous com-
modities. Lake Charles Harbor & Term. Dist. v. Brimstone R. & C. Co.,
720 (723).

ANY-QUANTITY RATES.

Commodities:

Castings, chromium-iron-nickel alloy, etc., and boxes: General Alloys
Co. v. Akron, C. & Y. Ry. Co., 733.

Cotton: Routing and Transit on Cotton, 762.

Elin & Golub v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 373.

Globe Superior Corp. v. Southern Ry. Co., 456.

Gum, Bakelite (synthetic): Bakelite Corp. v. Boston & Albany R., 581.
ARBITRARIES. See DIFFERENTIALS.

ASSIGNMENTS.

The shipper, by assigning to complainant its interest, if any, in freight
charges on goods sold by it, not only estopped itself from asserting any
claim in respect to such charges, but relieved complainant of the necessity
of making it a party to any proceeding in connection therewith. Sioux
City Brick & Tile Co. v. Chicago & N. W. Ry. Co., 405 (407).
