broke our .rudder. We. then fell
into the trough of the sea. ,...,;'
The sea washed everything loose

lay in an unconscious condition. Shore

broke leg and an arm.

an amendment to the interstate COM
merce act penalizing railroads for the
tardy delivery Of shipments. A similar
measure will be introduced in the legis-
latures of Illinois and other states
when they convene.
The Chicago Lumbermen's associa-
ton today appointed committee to
aid in arranging for national ship
pers' convention in Chicago on Jan. 4,
to take steps to obtain the enactment
of national and state reciprocal de-
murrage laws. 1t is expected that this
convention will indorse Congressman
Madden s. bill, or one along the same
general lines.
The shippers contend that, as the
railroads penalize them for delay in
unloading cars, the roads themselves
should be compelled to pay demurrage
for failure to deliver shipments on
time, an evil, it is declared, that has
bee ONE general.
Railroad officials fear the situation
is full of danger: They will fight the
proposed legislation to the last ditch.
They assert that such bill as Mad
