The United States Smelting Re
fining and Mining Company also
protested the rate on bulk oil in
the new' tariff, declaring that the
Commission had found "that the
rates of the Lomen Commercial
Company produced unreasonable
earnings”, but that: instead of re
ducing its rates in conformity
with the Commission’s order, the
lighterage company had produced
“higher charges than were pre
viously in effect”.
