Oppose Reduction Of Unloading
Time.

The Chicago Car Service associa.
ton and the Chicago Board Of Trade
are In a controversy over the ques
ton OF reducing the free time for un.
loading grain after II has reached the
elevators. Il. ID. Boyd. transportation
manager of the board OF trade. ap'
peared before the association on Feb
ruary IL to state the position OF the
board of trade. Under the raj service
rules 4S hours free time Is given after
the first I O'Clock a. m. after grain
has been inspected to order II to the
elevators and heretofore five days
have been given after the grain has
reached the elevators TO unload. Up
to six or seven years ago q period
of 10 days free time was given for
unloading. The railway officials think
that the five days free time given for
unloading Ia unduly long aud tends to
aggravate the car shortage and the
car service association has proposed
to cut the free time for unloading
at Chicago to two days, which Is the
time given at Kansas City. Omaha
and other points. The grain dealers
of Chicago Oppose the proposed re-
duction. They state that they will
consent 10 a reduction % "a hours In
the time allowed them for ordering
grain to the elevator after inspection
but they insist that II would be an
Injustice to them to reduce the time
allowed for unloading. The reason
given for this contention is that ow.
Ing to the magnitude of the Chicago
grain market grain shipments often
arrive in Chicago In such large
quantities that 1t Is impossible TO
get them unloaded in less than the
free time now allowed. The grain
dealers point to the fact that the av'
Ienage time 10Y taken for unloading
the year around is between l.6 and
II days, and they state that they
wish the present rule to be allowed
Ito stand. not because they desire to
luse The full Ave days free time II
allows them. but to provide against
emergencies. The car service asso'
citation still has the matter under
consideration.
