ADEQUACY OF SERVICE. See THROUgh Routes.
ADMISSIONS. Although carriers' admission by special docket application
that applicable rate was unreasonable was not binding on Commission, by
adopting complainant's memorandum of facts and argument as an agreed state-
ment of facts they admitted that furnishing of three refrigerator cars in lieu
of boxcar ordered was for their convenience and not shipper's. Imperial Paper
& Color Corp. v. Delaware & H. R. Corp., 141 (143).
ADVANTAGES. See DIVISIONS OF RATES (Factors in Determination);
LOADING (Charges); PREFERENCE AND PREJUDICE; REASONABLENESS (Rule
of Rate Making).
AGENTS. See EMBARGOES; Pick-Up and Delivery; WareHOUSEMEN.
AGGREGATE OF INTERMEDIATES. RATES 10 BE SAME KIND: That
combination of 1. c. 1. rate to border gateway and quantity c. 1. rate beyond
would produce lower total charge on a 12,000-pound shipment than applicable
c. 1. charges on interterritorial minimum basis did not violate sec. 4, as it was
not a comparison of like services. Under c. 1. rates, shipper loads the car and
is entitled to its exclusive use, while under 1. c. 1. rates carrier loads it and is
entitled to use of remaining space. N. Goldring Corp. v. Atlanta & W. P. R.
Co., 83 (86, 88).
ALL-COMMODITY RATES. See FORWARDERS (Schedules).
ALLOWANCES. See DIVISIONS OF RATES; PICK-UP AND DELIVERY; WARE-
ALTERNATIVE RATES. Column 25K rating, minimum 60,000 pounds, on
canned goods from Florida to New England and trunk-line territories, found
justified as alternative to column 30K, minimum 36,000 pounds, in lieu of dis-
count formula applied to latter basis, which had proved unsatisfactory. Canned
Citrus Fruits from Florida to the East, 277.
ANALOGY. See REDUCTIONS (Voluntary).
ANY-QUANTITY RATES. See PICK-UP AND DELIVERY (Schedules).
APPLICABILITY OF RATES. See BULK COMMODITIES; COMMODITIES;
Demurrage (Rules, Generally); INTERTERRITORIAL RATES; Long and SHORT
HAUL (Intermediate Rule); TARIFF CIRCULARS; TRANSIT.
ASSEMBLING AND DISTRIBUTION RATES. Authority granted common
carriers by sec. 408 to establish assembling and distribution rates differing from
their local or proportional rates between same points, as a substitute for joint
rates with forwarders, is permissive, and carriers may establish such rates at
their discretion. However, they may not be established for exclusive benefit
of forwarders, but must be made available to others using carriers' services under
like conditions. Freight Forwarders, Motor Com. Cars., Agreements, 413
(417);
-As few motor carriers had published such rates, owing to reluctance to extend
them to shippers generally, Congress considered that sec. 408 does not provide
a workable arrangement for coordinated motor-forwarder service, and provided
another method by amendment of sec. 409, without affecting motor carriers'
right to establish rates under sec. 408. Id. (417, 445, 446).
