INDIANA SHIPPERS.
They Demand Reciprocity in Regard
To Demurrage.

indianapolis. Ind, April 26-Oran
N Pruitt. president of the Indiana
Car Service association. filed a petit
ton with the state railway commits
sion to have the rules Of the Indiana
Car Service association revised and
made fair 10 the shippers Practically
an the railroads Of the state belong 10
the association. and they are named as
defendants 10 the action.
Mr. Pruitt asks for "a general modif-
cation OF the rules relating 10 demur-
rage charges. lie argues that il is un-
fair TO charge the shippers and re-
ceivers OF freight 81 a day demurrage
after they have held their cars as
hours as long as they are allowed no
recompense or damage by the railroad
company in case of nondelivery of
freight either through neglect Of the
road or otherwise.
He insists that the commission
should establish a reciprocal arrange
ment compelling the roads 70 pay the
shipper when they delay freight as
well as charging the shipper CT re-
ceiver for holding cars an unreason-
able period.
lie also refers to the rules Of the
New England Car Service association.
allowing shippers 9G hours for unload
ing their freight No allowances are
made by the roads. he said. for lack OF
facilities on the part OF the shipper or
receiver for unloading freight or for
their inability 10 get laborers at the
right time While there are many in
stances where freight is delayed from
GO 10 90 days in transmission, there
are no provisions for reimbursing the
shipper for the loss. he added. lie
asks that a ruling be made compelling
railroad companies TO move cars a
reasonable distance every day for the
benefit Of the shipper lie also charges
that the rule under which the roads
refuse TO deliver freight to shippers
who have refused to pay demurrage
charges is unfair and arbitrary He
asks for a ruling compelling the roads
20 distribute their cars as equally as
possible so noae Of the shippers will
be Disseminated against.
