Southern Operating Co. v. Hays....

Where shipper has paid full freight charges computed on full
weight of shipment equalling minimum capacity of cars ap-
plied for and permitted for the class of traffic by the filed
tariff, he cannot afterwards be compelled to pay an excess
on recomputation of charges based on minimum capacity of
larger cars supplied by the carrier on account of shortage of
the size applied for, all parties having acted in good faith; and
failure to show that carrier did not comply with rules in re-
gard to noting fact that smaller cars were supplied for its
own convenience, does not require shipper to pay charges on
marked capacity of the cars actually used. St. Louis S. W.
Ry. v. Spring River Stone Co.. . . . . .

of monopolies within prohibitions and limitations of Anti-
trust Act. Pennsylvania Co. v. United States . . . . . .
Jurisdiction exists to require interstate carrier to receive and
transport over its terminals carload interstate freight from
one carrier having physical connection with its lines on same
terms as applied to other connecting carriers similarly sit-

Order of Commission requiring interstate carrier to receive
and transport over its terminals carload interstate freight
from one carrier having physical connection with its lines on
same terms on which it performs such service for other con-
necting carriers similarly situated, is regulation of terminal
facilities within power properly delegated by Congress. Id.
3. Awards of reparation: Under § 16 of Act to Regulate, as
amended in 1906, report awarding reparation need not state
evidential facts, but must contain findings of ultimate facts,
which are taken as prima facie true. Meeker & Co. v. Lehigh
Valley R. R..

Statute making findings and reparation order of Commis-
sion prima facie evidence of facts therein stated is merely
rule of evidence and not unconstitutional as abridging right
of trial by jury or denying due process of law. Id.

Commission in regard to interchange of freight by carriers
which does not contravene any constitutional limitation and

weight accorded to contemporaneous construction of statute.
