Pursuant to the mandate of the Supreme Court issued June 5, 1984, the judgment of this court entered October 12, 1982 is VACATED with respect to the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to reject effective tariffs that have been submitted in substantial violation of rate bureau agreements.
