NEW BAGGAGE RULES
Travellers Baggage to be Limited II,
Weight and Nlnaslrnrnrnf W

Travellers Baggage to be Limited In
Weight and Measurement
At meeting OF the Western association
OF baggage agents a resolution was un-
animousiy adopted providing that no
Single piece of baggage exceeding forty
cubic feet in measurement or $50 pounds
III weight will hereafter be accepted Tor
transportation In baggage cars This Is a
very radical action, and strictly adhered
to by the railroads will revoutlonlze the
baggage regulations of the transporta-
ton companies heretofore there has
never been any limit to the weight or
size of a piece of baggage, an excess
charge being the only penalty for a piece
of baggage weighing more than $50
pounds.
The resolution will make It necessary
for persons having a piece OF baggage
weighing more than $50 pounds to divide
same between two or more packages or
trunks. 1t is not known whether the res
olution is Intended to cover theatrical
scenery.
The new rule will not meet with favor
from travelling men who carry large
trunks filed with heavy samples. They
will be compelled to obtain smaller trunks
and will have more pieces to look after
A piece of baggage containing forty cuuic
feet would be a little less than three and
a half feet In dimension each way. No
reason has been given for the change in
the rules, hut 1t is probable than the bag
gagemen protested against trying to work
havoc with big iron trunks filled with
