AFFIDAVITS.

Objection to the receipt of affidavits in evidence was properly sustained when
the affiants were not present and available for cross-examination. Langer

AFFILIATED COMPANIES. See also COMMON CONTROL, MANAGEMENT, OR
ARRANGEMENT; RAIL-AND-MOTOR (COORDINATION OF SERVICES).

Applicant seeking a "grandfather" certificate or permit, having declined to
submit any proof of its operations in Indiana, was not permitted to show proof
of operations outside that State. Considering that another corporation affiliated
with applicant, commonly owned and having identical owners and interlocking
operations, had already been granted extensive common-carrier rights, any grant
of additional common-carrier or contract-carrier rights to applicant would require
special justification, including a definite showing of completely independent
operations. Terre Haute Union Transfer & Storage Co. Contract Carrier Appli-
cation, 653 (656).

AGENTS.

Carriers': See also EQUIPMENT (LEASED); PICK-UP AND DELIVERY.

When sale of tickets for passenger motor common carriers was an insignificant
part of applicant's business, he had never represented more than one line, and at
time of hearing he had contractual arrangement with but one company, whereby
he sold only a form of transportation order for a stated percentage, applicant
was agent of carrier and not a broker. Day Broker Application, 715 (716).

ALTERNATIVE RATES.

Finding in 4 M. C. C. 68, modified to permit establishment of alternative
truckload commodity rate on fiberboard boxes, corrugated, without wooden
frames, knocked down flat or folded flat, in packages, between Baltimore, Md.,
and Philadelphia, Pa., and from Baltimore to certain New Jersey points, which
would be reasonably compensatory, further modified. Middle Atlantic States

Proposed reductions in rates prescribed as minimum rates on anhydrous
ammonia gas and empty returned gas cylinders, between Boston, Mass., and
Rhode Island points, was not justified when the proponents of the rates did not
appear at the hearing, and a witness who attempted to justify the proposal could
not testify of his own knowledge with respect to the matter. New England

commodities generally, was authorized: Knopp Broker Application, 727.
BURDEN OF PROOF.

The act does not place upon the proponent of a reduced rate the burden of
proving affirmatively that the rate is reasonable and otherwise lawful. This is
particularly so when the proposed rate is the same as that in effect over compet-
ing transportation agencies. Bags and Bagging from Twin Cities to Springfield,
Ill., 391 (392).

Applicant seeking permit had the burden of showing that existing carriers did
not render the type or character of service which satisfies the public need, and
that the proposed service would tend to correct or substantially improve that
condition. Little Contract Carrier Application, 555 (556).

Burden of proof is upon applicant to show public convenience and necessity,
and where a common carrier seeks authority to extend its operations, it must
present evidence, other than an expressed desire on its part, to justify the grant-
ing of a certificate. Vermont Transit Co., Inc., Extension-Baldwin, N. Y.,
759 (760-761).

Commodities: Ratings on the commodities named were involved in the
following cases:

Motor Carrier Rates, 361 (370).

Paper and paper articles: Central Territory Motor Carrier Rates, 93.
Less than Truckload: See LESS THAN TRUCKLOAD (RATES).

CLASS RATES.

In General: See MINIMUM RATES (PRESCRIPTION BY COMMISSION).

Less than Truckload: See LESS THAN TRUCKLOAD.

Percentage Relationship: Proposed reduced less-than-truckload rating of class
55 (55 percent of first class) on paper and paper articles in central territory, found
justified to meet similar rail rating, when there was no reason to conclude that
it would be less remunerative for less-than-truckload than for less-than-carload
traffic. Central Territory Motor Carrier Rates, 93.

COMMODITIES.

Dangerous Articles: See DANGEROUS ARTICLES.

Description: Authority to add oilcloth, other than floor oilcloth, to the list
of cotton piece goods and related articles on which group A rates applied was
denied. Oilcloth was not competitive with cotton articles and rates thereon did
not exceed a minimum reasonable level of rates. New England Motor Carrier
Rates, 361 (379).

Differences of opinion having arisen as to identity of "iron and steel articles"
excepted from findings in 8 M. C. C. 233 prescribing minimum rates for central
territory, those findings were clarified by prescription of commodity description
listing all articles so exempted. Central Territory Motor Carrier Rates, 435.
