| Parties | CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN R. CO. v. FARMERS' SHIPPING ASS'N. |
| Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Tenth Circuit |
Guy A. Gladson, of Chicago, Ill., and A. L. Berger, of Kansas City, Kan. (Walter H. Jacobs and Ralph M. Shaw, both of Chicago, Ill., on the briefs), for appellant.
Grant W. Harrington, of Kansas City, Kan., for appellee.
Before LEWIS, COTTERAL, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.
The Farmers' Shipping Association brought this action against the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company to recover an alleged freight overcharge. Trial by jury was duly waived and the case submitted to the court upon an agreed statement of facts and certain documentary evidence. From a judgment for the Association, the Railroad Company has appealed.
The material facts are as follows: The Association delivered to the Railroad Company 80,220 pounds of corn for transportation from Bondurant, Iowa, to Chicago, Illinois. The Railroad Company transported such corn and charged and collected from the Association freight therefor at the rate of 18.5 cents per hundred, amounting to $148.41.
At the time such shipment moved, the Railroad Company's Tariff 36-E, I. C. C. 5104, and Supplement 26 thereto were in full force and effect.
The material portions of Section 1 of such tariff are set out in Note 1.
