FOR A UNIFORM
CLASSIFICATION
Of ALL FREIGHT

Chicago. March 3o.-Agitation for a uni
form classification OF freight for the
whole United States has been started
again. There are at present four classifi-
cations In use In different parts OF the
country, which differ widely In the mat
ter OF rates which apply TO the same ar
ticles, and this difference Is the cause OF
a great deal OF trouble and annoyance
TO both shippers and railroads
IL has been found by Chicago shippers
that owing to the fact that both the offi-
cial and western olassihcations apply In
the territory between Chicago and the
Mississippi river and the classifcations
being so wide apart In certain respects.
merchants and manufacturers east OF
Chicago have a considerable advantage
In sending their goods TO the markets on
the Missisissippi and intermediate terri
tory
Specific instances or this sort have been
brought TO the attention of tho railroads
by the transportation committee OF the
Chicago Commercial association with
request that they be rectihed. Railroad
men declare correction is impossible un-
less uniform classification Is adopted.
official classification articles can be
grouped together In one car and shipped
from point east OF Chicago to the Mis-
sissippi river at the carload rate. but the
same articles being shipped from Chicago
TO the river, coming under the western
classification. must be shipped at the less
than carload rate, which Is considerably
higher. especially in the higher classes.
