Synopsis

Excerpt from Classification of Property for Transportain

Herfle are approximately twenty -five thousand kinds of goods offered for shipment 111 this country. It 13 estimated that there are about a hundred million rates published in_the tariffs of the carriers operating in the United States. It is obvious that it would be impracticable, if not wholly impossible, to make and publish individ ual rates on every one of the various articles shipped, be tween all points. In order to meet this complex condition, the carriers have found it necessary to classify articles in groups, placing a large number of commodities having transportation likenesses in one class or group, and charg ing a certain amount per hundred pounds for the trans portation of all articles in a defined group or class between any two points.
