GRAIN DEALERS
READY TO FIGHT
PROPOSED NEW UNIFORM BILL
OF LADING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Commission Meets on Monday and
Shippers Hope to Balk the
Railroads.

indianapolis, Ind, December o.
When the Interstate Commerce Com
mission meets in Washington next
Thursday for a continuance of its
hearing on the proposed new uni
form bill Of lading, shippers of the
country hope to be able to compel
the railroads to abandon their last
position on the question. To accom-
plish this result in the short time at
their disposal, various associations
of shippers are making earnest eff
forts to gather in necessary ammu-
milton, in the shape Of statistical ev-
idence. The Indiana Grain Dealers
Association is an aggressive factor IN
the gathering Of this evidence. Its
work is going on from the office OF
Secretary C. B. Riley, in this city,
as a busy center.
Mr.. Riley returned yesterday from
the first session Of the Commerce
COMMISSIONS hearing, in Chicago,
where he occupied the witness stand
for short time Wednesday evening.
He says that the railroads practical
ly have waived nonnegotiable fea-
tures Of the proposed new bill of
lading, and are now making their
fight for the proposed advance of 20
per cent, on freight rates under GER
tain conditions. It is to prevent
such an advance that the testimony
is now being gathered by the Indiana
grain dealers and other shippers.
Under the new bill Of lading the
railroads propose that the shippers
who sign it shall do one Of two
things; either relinquish his right to
recover damages from the carrier
under the common law, for loss and
damage to his freight in transit, or
else pay an additional freight tariff
of 20 per cent, it is asserted by the
railroads, would merely serve to
cover the losses they are forced to
suffer in the payment Of shippers
claims for damages to freight in
transit. It would be an "insu1 ance''
against such loss. They further as
sert that no less an advance than 20
per cent. would cover such loss.
