See DEMURRAGE (Free Time); VESSELS. USE. See also COMMODITIES; DEPRECIATION; SECOND-HAND Articles; Value. Meat rates applicable on fat were not unreasonable because the fat was rendered into edible tallow, which took lower rates. Fats shipped could have been used in manufacture of sausage, hamburger, or canned meats. Albert F. Goetze, Inc., v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 84 (86). As many commodities have more than one use, different rates on same commodity dependent on use would lead to unjust discrimination and undue prejudice since applicable rates could not be determined until after use. Atchison Leather Products Co. v. Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. Co., 328 (329). Publication and applicability of rates may not be predicated on use to which a commodity is put after reaching destination. Albert F. Goetze, Inc., v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 84 (86); -And that used fleece-lined trousers were purchased and actually use for purpose of salvaging the sheepskin fleece was not controlling on applicability of rates. Atchison Leather Products Co. v. Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. Co., 328 (329). VALUE. See also CLASSIFICATION (PROPERTY (Light and Bulky Articles; Reasonableness)); Density; TRANSIT (Fabrication). FACTOR IN REASONABLENESS: As only value of war-surplus gas-protective covers was for salvage of cloth content or conversion to other use, applicable cellophane rate was unreasonable when percentage of freight charges to value of shipments at average weight was 35, compared with 13.45 percent for paperand-cellulose-film bags. Considering value of covers, reparation was awarded to basis of rate on bags. S. Shapiro & Sons, Inc., v. Union Pac. R. Co., 113 (116). VALUE OF SERVICE. See GROUPS AND GROUP RATES (Localities); ROUTES (Circuitous). VESSELS. LOADING AND UNLOADING: When barge line's tariff provided that rates on bulk grain and beans would apply at facilities other than owned by carrier only when suitable for prompt discharge of cargo, and that shippers must make their own arrangements for discharge at such facilities at their own expense, it was solely complainant's responsibility to provide necessary and proper facilities for unloading at its elevator, and carrier was in no position to regulate nature of facilities provided by consignee, beyond requiring that they be safe and adequate for proper mooring and protection of carrier's equipment while in consignee's possession. Continental Grain Co. v. Inland Waterways Corp., 339 (345). VOLUME OF TRAFFIC. See CAR FERRIES; Differentials (Group Rates); DIRECTION. WASTEFUL TRANSPORTATION. See ROUTES (Circuitous). WATER AND RAIL. See also CAR FERRIES; DISCRIMINATION; INCREASED RATES: As coal was the principal revenue traffic of barge lines on upper Mississippi River and any narrowing of spread in rail-water under all-rail rates thereon would tend seriously to reduce rail-barge movement and deplete barge lines' revenues, approval of such increases in rail rates from Illinois mines to Alton and East St. Louis as would jeopardize and probably largely destroy that movement would not conform to the national transportation policy. Coal from Illinois to Alton and East St. Louis, 637 (670). WATER CARRIERS. See CAR FERRIES; COMPEtition; Demurrage; MariTIME COMMISSION. WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Statement in complainant's brief that witness who prepared exhibits for one of defendants omitted material facts and altered others, to confuse Commission, imputed to the witness the purpose of violating his oath by engaging in deception. As no foundation was shown therefor, this statement was scandalous and was striken from the record under rule 4 (d) of Rules of Practice. Keith Ry. Equipment Co. v.
