31    printed and filed with the Commission, and so much thereof as

13    or commodity affected by the provisions of this Act, to which
14    it may be  a  party,  and  copies  of  all  other  contracts,
15    agreements   or   arrangements   with  any  other  person  or
16    corporation affecting in the judgment of the  Commission  the

18    commodity.
