Biographical notes:

In 1910, the Associated Jobbers of Los Angeles sued the Southern Pacific Company and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad Company over a $2.50 charge for every car spotted on an industrial spur. The case went before the Board of Railroad Commissioners of the State of California and then before the Interstate Commerce Commission where the Associated Jobbers won the decision and the railroad companies had to drop the new charge.

From the description of Associated Jobbers of Los Angeles, complainant, vs. Southern Pacific Company, San Francisco Testimony, 1910, June 21-28. (Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Gardens). WorldCat record id: 84283715
