The law has not operated ao well as far as preventing dis crimination In rates wns concerned. It wa a notorious fnct that some railroads favored largo shippers with low rates, and Imposed higher rates upon smnller shippers. There were uuder-classiftcntions, false billings, ntio the honest shipper was made to pay nior than those who entered Into a scheme tt secure rebates.
