BurIington's Withdrawal May Disrupt
the Association.

Chicago. April 29.-Notice has been
given by the Burlington of withdrawal
from membership in the Chicago Car
Service association, which for years
has assessed and collected fines
agafnSt the shippers for detention Of
freight cars The action of the Bur
lington may lead to the dissolution of
the association. despite the fact that a
strenuous effort is being made to per
petuate the orga MIA ton
The withdra wal of the Burlington
is taken under advice of its counsel to
the effect that under the new law
such associations are Illegal The
company, however. expects to con-
tinue TO assess and to collect car ser
vice charges. but to do it through the
medium of a bureau of its own Fur
thermOra. the car service charges will
be made a part Of the tariffs and will
be on file at Washington upon the
theory that they are a part of the
freight rate and should be mentioned
in the tariffs. It will be more ex-
pensive for the Burlington to collect
its car service charges in this manner
but the officials desire to be within
the purview Of the law upon every
subject. so that there can be no ques-
ton Of the company again getting
into trouble.
1t was the Chicago Car Service as
ISOLATION which started the cry of the
shippers for a reciprocal demurrage
law, and which has led to several
states passing such laws.

in others getting into line. Mr.. Saxton
