MoyEMENT on rREIaHr cars.

MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT CARS.
The secret Of the great congestion in
traffic during the past winter all over
the United States has been laid to the
shortage Of cars, il being the complaint
Of the railroads that they didn't have
TIE cars and that they we're unable to
buy new ones fast enough to keep up
with the demand Now, however, the
belief is growing that while undoubted-
~ more cars could have been used had
they been available. the great soirce Of
the congestion was the lack OF movement
Of the ears which were already in COM
mission. It is safe to say that no cars
we're sidetracked about Barre the past
winter for every car that was fit to
carry granite was pressed into use, but
Barre shippers have complaint to make
that local cars were being neld on other
roads. stealing cars" is the way the
railroads characterize the practice, and
by means Of the scheme they seize the
cars which transported granite, for in
stance. and utilize them for moving
western products. Then, too, il is the
custom Of many roads to hold the cars
until convenience permits their return
or movement.
Railroads have what they call de-
murrage charges to protect themselves
from diIatory receivers Of shipments,
by means Of which they charge 50 much
day for all overtime after stated
interval following arrival of cars. Now
there has grown up system of re-
ciprocsI demurrage, that is, the rail-
roads themselves are held liable for any
delay in return Of the cars after certain
intervals. An interesting trying-out Of
this latter scheme recently came up in
the Mississippi supreme court, the case
being brought By the keystone lumber
yards against the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley rairoad to compel that com
papy TO pay one dollar day or frac
ton Of day for every freight car held
for more than twenty four hours at any
point on the line The Mississippi court
decreed that the railroad company was
liable, and chat the reciprocal demur-
rage charges were as good for the rail
roads as for the shippers
Part wording Of the courts decision
on this matter Is given as follows: qThe
law Of reciprocal demurrage is founded
in the soundest common sense and the
highest spirit Of equity. II such laws
are vigorously enforced we will hear no
longer Of the freight congestion that
has been 50 prevalent throughout the
past winter Of thoHsands Of empty
cars standing unused in railroad yards
IN one section Of the country, and coal
famine in the other for. want of cars. .
IN view Of the above decision, other
states viii probably make similar en-
actments for the protection Of their
citizens.
