Baggage Smashing and Damage.

Springfield Republican: Western
railroads are working toward an
agreement to compel passengers to
pay an insurance fee on all trunks
containing property value in excess
OF $lO0-in Other words, to limit
their liability to damages to $500 for
the loss OF any piece Of baggage un-
insured. One recent case which stirs
the roads in this matter has been
the recovery of 5000 from one of
the companies by the wife of a
wealthy Chicago citizen for damages
to the contents OF a trunk in a rail-
road wreck. 1t is thought to be ask
ing too much to hold a road liable to
large damages OF baggage which is
free bv them. That does not
seem to be an unreasonable view.
But how about this damage to bag
gage which is being constantly and
needlessly inflicted 10y the railroads
through their employed baggage
s%,nashers?
