TO CHANGE BILL OF LADING.
Plans to Make Them n safe Medium
of Exchange.

Chicago. April 11--Business will
be greatly facilitated Throughout the
country by changes the eastern rail-
roads are planning 10 make in the
proposed uniform bill of Iading,
which the shippers have been trying
TOR years to inGuce them TO issue. II
an agreement can be reached with the
shippers the railroads will throw suf-
nclenr safeguards around the bill OF
ladiug so that the banks throughout
the country will take them without
question
II is the purpose Of the railroads, in
fact. 10 make bills OF lading the safest
possible medium of exchange SO that
the shipper will be in about the same
position in business sense as he
would be IL he had a certified check
for the value Of his shipment At
present the banks loan money on bills
in circulation backed by that security,
despite the fact that the railroads
have in the past tried 10 make them
nODnegotiable- The banks complain
however. that the risk Is too great and
that the safeguards are not sufficient
Recently the attorney for the IIli-
nO1s Manufacturers association and
several members OF the association
ference with several Of the leading
eastern traffic men, The result was
decision to hold a conference here
either next Monday or April p, be-
tween the subcommittee Of the eastern
lines and the Illinois Manufacturers
association committee. with reference
TO the Uniform bill OF Iading
The proposition Of the railroad men
is TO remain in convention until the
Uniform bill Of Iading is agreed upon
To this the shippers committee has
assented- When the details are set
tied II is then the purpose of the ship
pers and OF the railroads to present
the bill OF ladfng to congress for pas
sage II is expected that there will be
20 difficulty in securing its passage as
a law, so that il Will become the legal
regulation regarding all interstate
shipments Such a plan Will give it
the backing OF the government.

prolongation of the conference set back
the date when the increase in wages
would become effective from March l
to April 1, or 80 days
Had the original proposition Of the
railroads been accepted in February
said a railroad official, the increases
varying from TO 10 per cent would
have become effective on March L The
continuation OF the negotiations II
March post poued the increases in wages
until April / In addition, the conduc-
tors and trainmen. through their or

committees.
Both the railways and the conductors
and trainmen appear to be satisfied
with the agreement which they reach
ed Both parties believe too, that they
learned much that they did not know
before about the railroad service
AS far as the public is concerned, the
opinion seems to. be growing that all
differences can and should be adjusted

In these ten years all expenses in

The greatest increase. however. has

It is noteworthy fact that the only
item in which there has been no in
crease has been the average receipts
by the railroad companies per ton per
mile In fact IN 1905 they were &C
tually less than in 1886 by a fraction
Of 1 per cent At 4 time when prices
in every direction are increasing and
are higher than they have been in the
last forty years. the average relative
receipts from freight traffic are de-
creasins- The expense ratio Is in

and that which the railroads have 10

day than in 1856 Furthermore the
average receipts per ton per mile OF
