INDEX DIGEST

[Numbers in parentheses following citations indicate pages on which subjects are considered.]

ABSORPTION OF CHARGES.

Switching: See SWITCHING.

Terminal: See TERMINALS.

ACCESSORIAL SERVICES. See also COST OF SERVICE (ACCESSORIAL SERV-
ICES) and under the various subjects.

Provision in carrier's switching tariff of a charge for cars furnished in connec-
tion with interterminal and intraterminal switching should be ignored in compar-
ing its charges for the various types of switching service, since the charge for car
hire was for an accessorial service separate from the physical transportation.
New Orleans Public Belt R. Switching and Absorptions, 613 (629, 630).
ACQUISITION OF RAILROADS. See CONSOLIDATION AND CONTROL OF
RAILROADS.

"ADDED-TRAFFIC" THEORY. See COST OF SERVICE (FACTOR IN REA-
SONABLENESS); REDUCTIONS (JUSTIFICATION).

ADJACENT FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Canada: The Ottawa Treaty, which for several years imposed a duty on
Canadian wheat destined to the United Kingdom, if exported through foreign
ports, was a major factor in the much greater movement of export grain through
St. Lawrence River ports than through north Atlantic ports. Ex-Lake Grain to
North Atlantic Ports, 415 (421).

Long-and-Short-Haul Clause: In the following case, fourth-section relief
was granted in connection with rates from or to points in Canada: Potatoes and
Vegetables from Maine and Canada, 591.

Prescription of Rates: As Commission cannot require rates over routes
through a foreign country, it would be unreasonable to base rates entirely on
distances over the Canadian routes. However, such distances may be considered
along with other facts in determining grouping of specified points when they
constitute the shortest possible route. Oscar Mayer & Co. v. Baltimore &
O. R. Co., 451 (453).

ADJUSTMENTS AND RELATIONSHIPS. See REASONABLENESS (RATES,
FARES, AND CHARGES (DISTURBANCE OF ADJustment)); RELATION OF RATES
(IN GENERAL).

ADMINISTRATIVE RULES, REGULATIONS, AND ORDERS. See TAriff
CIRCULAR No. 20.

ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS.

Conference Rulings: Construed or cited: Ruling No. 208 (d): Excursion
Fares for C. C. C. Camp Enrollees in the West, 479 (481).

ADVANTAGES.

In General: The act does not undertake to equalize conditions and advan-
tages between shippers who are differently situated. Switching at Minneapolis,
Minn., 405 (410).

Commercial: See EQUALIZATION (PRODUCTION COSTS).

Motor vs. Rail: Railway costs in handling naval stores from Mississippi
points to Gulf ports were low because of favorable operating conditions, the lack
of empty-car haul, and the average naval-stores load of 27 tons, while truck costs
were unfavorably affected by the empty haul in one direction and the average
load of only 8 tons. Naval Stores from Mississippi to Gulf Ports, 723 (733).
AGGREGATE OF INTERMEDIATES.

Through Rates Exceeding Aggregate over Different Routes: Proposed
rates on scrap iron and steel from Norfolk & W. Ry. points south of Lynchburg
and Roanoke, Va., to Norfolk, Va., would not violate aggregate-of-intermediates
provision when lower combinations included factors from North Carolina points
which, under approved routing restrictions, could not be applied over the same
routes as the proposed rates. Scrap Iron from Virginia and from North Carolina
to Virginia, 150 (153).

AGREEMENTS.

Reductions Based on: See REDUCTIONS (AGREEMENT TO MAKE).
Trackage Agreements: See TRACKS.

ALLOWANCES.

Spotting: See SPOTTING.

Switching: See SWITCHING.

ALTERNATIVE RATES. See also LESS THAN CARLOAD (Carloads MOVING
AT LESS-THAN-CARLOAD RATES); TRANSIT (BASIS OF CHARGES).
Proposed reduced rate and increased minimum for alternative application on
paper from Holyoke, Mass., to Harlem River, N. Y., was justified when it would
reduce the excess in total cost to shippers for rail movement plus pick-up and
delivery over cost of direct motor service and would yield some profit.
from Holyoke, Mass., to Harlem River, N. Y., 99.

Paper

AMBIGUITY. See SCHEDULES (APPLICABILITY AND INTERPRETATION) (CON-
STRUCTION).

ANALOGY. See COMMODITIES (DESCRIPTION).
ANTITRUST ACTS.

Clayton Act: Discrimination is a question of fact, and principles of sec. 2 of
Clayton Act, dealing with price discriminations, as modified by Robinson-Pat-
man Act authorizing establishment of quantity limits for particular commodi-
ties, did not prevent establishment by rail carriers of competitive multiple-carload
rates on commodity moving in cargo quantities by water, especially when the
difference between existing carload rate and proposed quantity rate approximated
the ratio between costs for the respective services. Molasses from New Orleans,
La., to Peoria and Pekin, Ill., 485 (500-501).

APPLICABILITY OF UNLOADING CHARGES TO CARLOAD SHIP-
MENTS. See Loading (Charges).

ARBITRARIES. See DIFFERENTIALS IN RATES AND ROUTES.

ASSIGNMENT.

Under the provisions of a State statute, that the president and directors of a
corporation at the time of dissolution should become trustees of the creditors and
stockholders to whom the trustees are "severally responsible," the assignment of
reparation claims to the trustee for the stockholders must be construed as an
assignment to him as trustee for the creditors too. Armstrong Packing Co. v.
Abilene & S. Ry. Co., 717 (718).

BACK HAULS. See OUT-OF-LINE HAULS.

BARGE LINES. See INLAND WATERWays (Barge LINES).
