START BOYCOTT
ON CAR THIEVES
Equipment Will Be Refused Offend.
ing Lines.
New Rules Permit Members Of Com
bine to Cut Out Business of Con-
Meeting Lines Unless the Cars
Are Returned PromptIy-Need Not
Make Through Rates.

Chicago, April 30.-Drastic meas
ures are to be adopted by the railroads
Of the entire country to stop car steal
ing and thereby compel the roads which
are short Of equipment to provide them
selves with sufficient number of cars
to transport their traffic.
Acting upon legal advice, all of the
railroads which are interested in stop
ping car stealing have decided to boy
colt all car thieving roads with view
to eliminating this evil from the trans
portation world. In doing go the rail-
roads expect to end the car shortage
and to prevent a recurrence of scar
city of equipment which paralyzes the
business of the country.
The railroad boycott will consist of
refusal by all roads which are men,
bers of the per diem and the car diver
sion agreements to permit their cars to
90 to railroads which are not mem bers
of these agreements and also refusal
to make through rates over sucb lines.
This is direct and positive boycott
Of all car stealing roads, az it applies
OIly W IOduS WllICll are cllplt VI Cqulp-
ment and which have refused to become
parties to the two agreements mem
toned.
Through rates mean through routing
and both expressions involve the use Of
the cars, and where reasonable rules
and regulations are not recognized
carrier is not compelled to establish
through route. Under this ruling q
most rigorous boycott can be maintain
ed against roads which steal the equip
ment of connecting lines and use it for
months without return or without ade
quate compensation for the use of the
cars.
The penalties are now so high for the
misuse of cars by connecting lines that
no road can afford to keep the cars and
pay the penalties.
