RAILWAYS DAILY MAKING PROGRESS
IN CHECKING RATE CUTTING.
The New TrnnscontinentaI-Lin Rates
Recent Fast Running-ohiciai
Changes Again Numerous.

For some years past several Of the roads
of the Central Traffic Association have al
lowed a margin of 500 pounds on carload
freigfsts, TO cover any possible irregularI-
ties in rates. Some of the lines which have
not done so came before the Joint Traffic
Association and took the position that this
was indirectly cutting rates, and this has
led to a reform in the matter; hereafter
roads are to bill actual weight. There is
one point, however, over which there Is
likely to be trouble. The practice of billing
-four in sacks at actual weight IL to be
continued, and the old rule Of billing -four
in barrels and making no charge for the
weight of the barrel is to be continued, on
the ground that car load OF -four In bar
rels can be handled by two men as quickly
as 1t could be by ten men were the same
flour in sacks. There is much less liability

code Of rules on interlockng and block sig
