Excerpt from Publication and Filing of Tariffs
In common with other phases of transportation, the early development of tariffs and classifications was not along any fixed line or principle. Indeed, shortly prior to the passage Of the Act to Regulate Commerce the Situation was such that there were some one hundred and thirty odd classifications governing the movement of property in what is now known as Official Classification Territory, these classifications governing hundreds and hundreds of rate tariffs. This condition made it well nigh impossible for even the most intelligent Shipper to determine in advance with any degree of accuracy what his rates would be or what rates were paid by his competitors.
