The fight for better freight service in
the South is nots yet over, if the facts
brought to the attention OF the directors
of the Jobbers and shippers Association
yesterday by F. W. Graham prove the
rule and not the exception.
Mr.. Graham. who IS a member of the
freight committee. reported the results
Of test case made of a carload Of meats
sent by him to a eonsignee in Harrison
burg, Va.
Mr.. Graham said at the meeting OF the
directors yesterday afternoon that ne had
been accustomed TO send his freight Of
this class by the Baltimore and
Ohio road, around by Harpers Fer
ry, because it had been impossible TO
get delivery of goods over the
Southern road within six days Mr.
Graham further added he had been in
vited by the local Sgent Of the Penn
sylvania road to ship a car load OF freight
by the more direct route and try the effect
OF the billing arrangements at the POto-
mac yards. This was done. The car went
out OF Washington promptly, and left the
Potomac yards the same night. That was
a week ago. but up to yesterday noon the
goods had not arrived at Harrisonburg.
Delays at End of Line.
As Mr.. Graham put il. the old delays
have been remedied at the transfer point
in Alexandria. but the vexatious slow
ness III the hanunng Of way freight over
some Of the Southern lines continues.
Mr.. Graham presented to the directors
letters and statements to prove that the
car was dispatched from Washington and
delivered to the Southern road promptly
in the Potomac yards.
After discussing the matter at some
length the directors decided that this spe-
cific case should be taken up immediate
ly with the freight managers Of the South
ern system, with a view TO ascertaining
the cause Of delay. and to seek redress.
if il could be had Monroe Luchs and
Mr.. Graham were appointed a subcom-
rnittee to take up the subject with the
officials of the railroad
A letter was read 10 the directors from
a manufacturer of shoes In Lynchburg
Va, informing the committee. appointed
at a previous meeting to consider the sub
ject, that he was not in position to do
more than establish a sample room in
Washington. II was determined that no
further effort be made 20 interest manu-
facturers I'm Lynchburg, but that two
members of the committee go 10 Boston

tion with manufacturers there, with a
view TO locating a shoe house here 70

One of the directors called attention
10 the efforts OF J. L. Smith. Of Balti-
