Description
The plaintiff brought this suit against the defendant who shipped fifty-two carloads of metal scrap over its lines from Brooklyn, N.Y., to various points in other states in the Middle West. The defendant shipped each carload under a bill of lading it signed as consignor in which it was named as the order consignee and the party to be notified designated. Each shipment was described in the bills of lading as "white metal alloy, scrap," which took a fifth-class tariff rate under the controlling Consolidated Freight Classification, and the amount due under such rate classification was paid by the consignor. Having subsequently discovered, as it contends, that the metal was in fact aluminum scrap which was classified so as to take a fourthclass, or higher, rate under the published tariff, the plaintiff is trying to collect, by means of this suit, the difference between the fourth-class rate applicable and the fifth-class rate paid.
