Side 170 - US 263: —'Subject to the two leading prohibitions that their charges shall not be unjust or unreasonable, and that they shall not unjustly discriminate, so as to give undue preference or disadvantage to persons or traffic similarly circumstanced, the Act to Regulate Commerce leaves common carriers as they were at the common law, free to make special contracts looking to the increase of their business, to classify their traffic, to adjust and apportion their rates so as to meet the necessities of...
Side 153 - That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this Act to charge or receive any greater compensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers or of like kind of property, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line, in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance...
Side 162 - ... a greater or less compensation for any service rendered, or to be rendered, in the transportation of passengers or property, subject to the provisions of this act, than It charges, demands, collects or receives from any other person or persons for doing for him or them a like and contemporaneous service in the transportation of a like kind of traffic under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, such common carrier shall be deemed guilty ot unjust discrimination, which is hereby prohibited...
Side 162 - That if any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall, directly or indirectly, by any special rate, rebate, drawback, or other device, charge, demand, collect, or receive from any person or persons a greater or less compensation for any service rendered, or to be rendered, SEABOARD AIR LINE RY.
Side 162 - Act to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, company, firm, corporation, or locality, or any particular description of traffic, in any respect whatsoever, or to subject any particular person, company, firm, corporation, or locality, or any particular description of traffic, to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any respect whatsoever.
Side 170 - ... their traffic, to adjust and apportion their rates so as to meet the necessities of commerce and of their own situation and relation to it, and generally to manage their important interests upon the same principles which are regarded as sound and adopted in other trades and pursuits. The carriers are better qualified to adjust such matters than any court or board of public administration, and, within the limitations suggested, it is safe and wise to leave to their traffic managers the adjusting...
Side 88 - ... unjust to other men, cannot stand. 2. Since the "union scale" of an artificial monopoly is clearly not the market rate of wages, the maintenance of the former can be perpetuated only by limiting the supply to the members of the union. The only means of keeping non-union men from competition is force. Consequently, the inevitable outcome of the present policy of many labor organizations is lawlessness and an array of power against the state. Their policy being what it is, their purposes can be...
Side 82 - ... capable of doing a particular sort of work an adjustment as a whole between the demand for laborers and the supply of them must be reached on the basis of a market rate. Whatever the reasons, the fact is to-day unmistakable that the unions include only a small fraction of the total body of laborers. In spite of the proclaimed intention to include in a union each worker of every occupation, and then to federate all the unions, the unions contain far less than a majority of the working force of...
Side 119 - ... grander contest between both America and Europe, on the one hand, and Asia and Africa on the other, for the command of the traffic of the world. In this contest victory involves more than any hurried expressions of mine can indicate. It means a leading position in the permanent progress of the world. It means positive wealth, high wages, and intellectual gains that cannot be enjoyed by those who develop less power. In the momentous struggle that is before us and that will yield to the successful...
