CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONDITIONS.

The Commission views with disfavor the maintenance of a lower rate for a longer haul than for a shorter one included within the longer, and the circumstances and conditions obtaining at the more distant point which are relied upon to justify it must not only be clearly shown to be substantially dissimilar from those prevailing at the nearer point, but also to clearly exercise a potent or controlling influence in making the lower rate. Bovaird Supply Co. v. A., T. & S. F. Ry. Co. et al. 56.

Dissimilar circumstances which justify under section 4 a greater charge for a shorter than for a longer haul will also prevent such rate from constituting an

mission is unable to find that the a

COMBINATION RATES.

The rate on cotton piece goods from certain producing mills in the South to
near-by dye works and from the dye works to Chicago is less than the combina-
tion from the mill to the dye works of the complainant at Cincinnati and from
thence to Chicago. This is for the reason that the rate from southern mills to
Chicago through Cincinnati is less than that to Cincinnati plus the local from
Cincinnati, and this is due to the fact that the rate from southern mills to Chicago
is competitive with that from New England; Held, That while the better combi-
nation in favor of the southern dye works may be a discrimination against the
works of the complainant, it is not, under all the circumstances, undue and
therefore unlawful. Reliance Textile & Dye Works v. So. Ry. Co. et al. 48.

Where a discrimination results from the combination of a State and an inter-
state rate, both established by the same carrier, the matter is not withdrawn
from the jurisdiction of this Commission by the fact that the discrimination is
produced by an improper State rate-certainly not when the State rate is volun-
tarily made by the carrier.
Id.

The practice of inserting obscure and general clauses in voluminous tariff
publications, to the effect that where a combination of locals, either general or
in specific instances, will make a lower aggregate through rate than the specific
joint through rate therein stated, the former will be used, has been found by
long experience to result in gross misapplication of the tariffs and in unjust dis-
criminations. Under this practice the individual or concern whose business is
large enough to warrant the employment of a traffic or rate expert will be able
to secure combinations resulting in lower aggregate charges than can be secured
by the smaller or occasional shipper who is unable to employ such an expert
and who is required to pay the joint through rate appearing on the face of the
tariff. It is self-evident that if such discriminations are to be broken up there
can be but one lawful rate in effect at a given time on any commodity in the
one direction between two points. Hydraulic Press Brick Co. v. St. L. & S. F.
R. R. Co. et al. 342.

The practice of making rates from or to an exclusive office by combination of
the full local rates through some junction point seems to be objectionable, but
since there is no evidence in this case from which the effect of an order requir-
ing the establishment of a through base rate and the application of the graduate
scale to that rate can be determined, the Commission declines to interfere at this
time with the present practice. Kindel v. Adams Express Co. et al. 475.

Complainant shipped 2 carloads of bran, milled in transit, from Salina, Kans.,
to Little Rock, Ark., over defendant's direct line through Coffeyville, and was
charged the published through rate, which is higher than an alleged combina-
tion of a rate on bran over defendant's line to Kansas City, Mo., plus a propor-
tional rate from Kansas City to Little Rock; Held, That under defendant's
tariffs there was no combination on Kansas City less than the through rate.
Marshall Michel Grain Co. v. Mo. Pac. Ry. Co. 566.

The rate from Chester, which is a joint through rate established by the Sea-
board Air Line and the Chesapeake & Ohio, should not, however, exceed the rate

from Richmond by the full amount of the local from Chester to Richmond. Randolph Lumber Co. v. S. A. L. Ry. et al. 601.
