which railroads nave 10 zeal.
Capt. Williams said that within
the last go days the road had been
instrumental III sending 81 eper-
sons to the chaingang for this
offenso. Furthermore, he states
that the road now has 40 special
agents, secret service men, work
ing up these cases. He says the
officials of the road are even m''re
anxious than the shippers that
this practice of breaking open
freight by employees be stopped.
Two of the most important mat
ters in connection with the rail-
way situation here are the cotton
platform and the settling of small
undisputed claims for shortages
by the local agent. AS to the cotton
platform, Capt. Williams said he
would give the matter careful at
tention and make all improve
ments possible. Owing to the
cramped surroundings ofthe depot
and very limited trackage, it Will
be difficult 10 provide ample ac-
commodations in the matter Of
platforms. AS to the power of local
agents to settle claims under $50,
Capt. Williams said he was not
informed, that being undsr the
supervision of the claims depart
ment. He said, however, that lie
thought agents should have the
authority to settle small undis
puted claims AID that lie will
recommend that the agelt at
Edg field be given that power.
Such an arrangement would eff C
saving of hundreds Of dollars e
tee merchants of this town aud
county every year. Frr qua1tly
there are slight damages and
small shortages that are no! great
enough for the consignee to 90 to
the trouble of making a formal
claim. IN all such cases he mar
chants pocket the loss, whereas
if the agent were empowered to
adjus' these claims the road would
have to bear the loss.
From every standpoint the COR
ference was a very sa:i;fsclnrr
one. D utlpss all who were pres.
ent entertain the b-li4f that tau
