Gossip of the Doings
of Railroad Men

The Transcontinental Freight Blu
reau is being severely criticised by the
shippers of this city for their dilatori-
ness in issuing new rate sheet. Since
the fire the merchants haveabeen more
or less in confusion with regard to
their freight rates owing to the whole
sale destruction of their tariffs This
condition is all the more annoying par
ticularly in view of the rulings recently
promulgated by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. and this also is ac-
centuated by the lack of extra copies
of both east and west bound tariffs
The promise has been made from time
to time that a new tariff would be is
sued, but this has not rnaterialized. Be
sides the original tariff, about fifty sup
plements to each have been issued and
at present complete collection is a
rarity.
