RESUME STAKE And RAIL CASE

issue Is between the lumber shippers. rep
resented in the National Lumbermen's s
Association. and the principal railroads Of
the country as 20 who shall pay for the
special equipment of fiat or gondola cars
for the shipment Of lumber and forest
products.
This now famous case was brought be-
fore the commission more than year
and a half ago. and has been interrupted
several times for various reasons. until
now for the first time, the railroads have
gotten down to the serious work of pre-
senting reasons why they should not
make an allowance of about 81 a car for
the equipment referred 10.
The lUmbeTmen have shown in previous
hearings that it costs the trade a large
amount to provide posts or stakes to
place on the sides Of lumber cars, and
the connecting top rail TO equip cars for
shipping their products. They have shown
that in no other class of traffic do the
transportation companies require such
expense 70 the shipper. and in their petit
ton 10 the commission the lumbermen
ask that the railways shall permanently
equip their cars for the shipment OF lUm-
Der. OF shall make an allowance sufficient
to cover the cost of the equipment.
Incidental to the controversy, numerous
devices have been patented for the perma-
nent equipment OF lumber cars, and the
lobby Of the hearing room of the COM
mission yesterday had much the appear
ance of a museum Of mechanical design,
because Of the number and variety OF
stakes and rails, mostly made Of steel.
