<p>CARRIERS — DISCRIMINATION—INJUNCTION — RAILROADS.</p> <p>Railroad must not Discriminate between Shippers in Laying Sidetracks and Making Switch Connections.</p> <p>Where a railroad company, operating as a common carrier of freight, adopts as a part of its business policy any advantageous facility for handling its freight, such as laying sidetracks and making switch connections for coal shippers whose mines are located along its line of road, it must not discriminate between different shippers with respect to such facility, but must afford it equally to all; and injunction will lie to prevent such discrimination, and to compel an equal service to all.</p>
