handing redress. Mr.. Johns said that
the law relating to common carriers
gave him an oportunity to recover if
ne could prove that he had loaded 40, 600

he would investigate very thoroughly
the question whether the amount
stated had actually been shipped be-
fore he would believe the story. The
house was strongly against the scale
bill, and it was indefinitely postponed
by a big vote.
