RAILROAD INTER ESTS.
WHY FREIGHT TRANSFERS MUST BE MADE
COMMISSIONERS FINK REPLIEs TO THE ARdUMENrt

COMMISSIONERS FINK REPLIEs TO THE ARGUMENTS
OF SHIPPERS.
= Commissioner Albert Fink has addressed TO
the State Board Of Railroad Commissioners an
for the railroads In to the complaints OF mer-
chants regarding the transfer of wesbound freight from
trunk line to another He starts out with concednR
the legal duty Of railroad companies to transport all snip
ments offered to them and deliver them 70
the connecting line indicated by the shipper. He
points out however that the responsibility Of the roads
ends at their terminus and then shows that the COM
plants affect only freight which has been received by
combination OF lines under contracts or bills OF ladihs
which expressly provided that the forwarders could snip
the goods any route they selected These
commonly known fast freight lines, facilitate greatly
the prompt delivery Of freight without extra charge to
shippers for their services forwarders Mr. Fink says
that these organizations voluntary assoea,
tions Of the roads and he takes 1t for granted ea
railroad company to become partner in the forwarding
business WITH any other railroad companies and has no
over which they shall carry on the forwardns business
Butt" Mr. Fink, Fl" is not upon the legal grounds
fence of the practice OF dverng freight do they de-
sire by withdrawing tho facilities now offered the ship
pers force them 10 submit to that practice or TO suer
any injury for it."
fhe Commissioner then shows that the causes Of the
merchants complaints are accidental arising from the
Inability OF "a new line that had become one Of me
associated roads" properly to handle freight delv
cred TO II by the older companies He then states that
out OF 1115,0O0 tons shipped from NewYork over the
elk trunk lines In 1884 only $4,000 or &c per cent were
actually transferred and that thrtyseven out or the
forty complaint transfers from trans
fers made to the line" Mr. Fink crticises the
features OF the Reagan bil and points out that
the transfer system was adopted part OF the pool
agreement which intended to secure equal and stable
rates for all shpper and hence to carry out the rule

Good Advice for the Girls.

A young lady, aged II, a farmers
daughter; writes to the editor of the
Orange County N. Y. Farmer, that
she wants piano very much indeed,
but that her father cannot afford to buy
it. She has plenty of leisure, as the
milk produced on the farm is sold and
wants to know how she can earn part
at least of the purchase money.
T The editor encourages her in this
wise:
There are many ways in which a
young lady, living on farm, and who
are not afraid of work can earn money.
Prominent among them is the raising
of small fruits, strawberries, raspberries,
etc. We know of one case where a
young lady earned thus the necessary
funds and bought piano. She became
so interested In the work that she kept
it up, although her piano has long been
paid for. We know a farmers wife
not far from this place, who makes a
business of raising and preparing ready
for use, various kinds of pickles. Her
reputation has spread through this sec
ton and her prepared goods find ready
market. But it is likely that the small
fruit business is the most profitable and
would bring about the desired result in
less time than any other way. We as
sumo that the young lady could easily
secure the use of such land as she need
ed. We can guarantee her ready
sale for all she raises at renumerative
rates.
