SHIPPERS ARE UP In ARMS.
The Chicago Board of Trade Will Resist the
Proposed Bill Of Lading'
A SERIES or BOYcoTTS WILL RESULT,
The Long suffering shippers Abso'
Iutely Refuse to- Have This Bill
Crowded Down Their Throats
--Ra ilroad - ews.

CHICAGO, July 90 [SpecialTelegramt to THE
BEE. The Chicago board of tradehas nailed
its flag TO the mast and with all its vast
power will oppose the putting in force Of the
proposed uni form bill of lading. 1t seems as
though every Chicago shipper had organ lied
himself into an indignation meeting and the
result will be series Of boycotts, having
tendency TO weaken the backbone OF the lines
adopting q the obnoxious bill Of ladinC.
The opportunity for the boycott comes from
the fact that the Grand Trunk road will not
adopt the proposed bill of lading. Neither
will the Wabash, Canadian Pacific route,
andthe Lehigh Valley lake and rail route is
expected to Join the fight tomorrow All
OF thCrlincs wiadopt thonewbill of lading and
all will be boycotted to the extent that the
routes not adopting il Will be given every
round of freight they can carry and the bal
ancc will be unwillingIy dealt out 10 the
other lines.
The boycotting g began today when George
Clark. prominen board of trade man, re
ceived an order from New York for 100 cars
of grain to be shipped via the Lake Shore.
Mr.. Clark wired in reply: "Wlll cancel
order rather than shipvia Lake Shore or any
other line adopting the new bill of hding
win ship via Grand Trunk if You wish" The
order came back promptly TO ship VIA
the Grand Trunk and hundreds Of
other shippers are swearing tonight they Will
follow the lead Of Mr.. Clark. Chai rman
Blanchard's explain alton Of yesterday did
not m AXE a convert among the shippers.
Said Commissioner lglehart of the Chicago
freight bureau: "Xou can say we will fight
the new bill of lading and will fight every
road adopting it, The On-negotiable fta-
ture Is only one OF hundred different obiec-
tions we have brought against it. 1t is ille-
gal in every one Of its ponderous sections.
Chairman Ban chard says in his explain alton
that a bill oflading is simply receipt for
goods and an agreement to safely deliver
them. Then why don't he giveus this sim
pie receipt and agreement. Instead Of that,
on the very day Of the conference he Ordepd
the bill of lading into use on August and en-
tirelyi yimoredrcpcsentatives of fourteen cities
and tens of thousands of shippers.
1t will be a very costly bill OF ladng to
$ ONE Of the roads which adopt it, but not
costly in the way of printers bills, The
shippers are long suffering, but absolutely
refuse to allow this bill of lading be
crow ded down their throats. If it had not
been for the Grand Trunk we would have
been at the mercy of the railroads have a
suit tomorrow against the Grand Trunk, but
am not baClIwa ard in giving 1t praise FORTS
lndependcnt and manly stand.n
With the exceptions noted every other
eastern line has agreednto put the uniform
bill of lading into effect on August l.
