A similar case has arisen in Massachusetts. The Interstate Express company was organized at Fall River and the company filed with the interstate commerce commission tariffs to cover its business. The first tariff govern ed principally the transportation of beers and liquors. Since that time additional tariffs have been filed covering the trarisporation of various commodi ties and packages and the carrying of money.
