This is an action in which two shippers seek to recover refunds for overcharges on shipments moving after May 20, 1968, and before September 1, 1969, from several motor carriers. The district court thought the action barred by the one-year limitations provision of § 16(3)(f) of the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. § 16(3)(f). We do not agree.
