QUESTION OF DEMURRAGE
WAS THE NATTER At ISSUE

The grainmen of Salt Lake City and
vicinity felt greatly relieved ycstcr
day when they received the informa-
tion from railroad headquarters that
demurrage would not be charged on
cars held for unloading until after Il
specified time. The railroads had come
to an understanding between themselves
and had announced that they would
charge demurrage on all cars held for
unloading Immediately upon arrival at
destination, the charge to be one dollar
for every day that the ears were al
lowed to stand without being unloaded
The grainmcn took up the matter
with the railroad officials at confer
ence held several weeks ago, at which
the Rio Grandc, Short Line, Salt Lake
Route and other roads operating in the
State were represented. The officials
promised that the matter would be inn
mediately taken up and investigated,
SAID investigation eventually resulting
in favor of the grainmen. Supplement
