Tariffs Traffic And Performance PDF Download

Excerpt from Construction and Interpretation of Tariffs: Prepared Under the Direction of the Advisory Traffic Council of the American Commerce Associtation Tariffs were published largely for the convenience of the carrier, and, owing to competitive conditions and lack of rate stability, were more in the nature of a general guide than a definite compilation of the actual rates of charge. Unrestricted competition constantly affected rate charges, and the various rebating practices which characterized the early days of railway and commercial development made impossible the application and interpretation of rate schedules, as practiced today.
