 he work already done besides Tor the damages the building has sustained since work was stopped upon 1t in October, 1907.

TROUBLES FOR SHIPPERS
Exorbitant Rates Supplemented by Unreasonable Regulations Regard
 ing the Marking of Shipments.

Little Rock, Oct 30 --Ano now comes what the shippers re gard as still further unfeasona ble demands upon them, as con'~ir'd in the printed provisions O. Western Freight n sstica T, No. AS, which becomes effective Sunday, November l, through out all the territory west or the Mississippi river.
 This tanff is interstate, and thus adds to the troubles which the shippers complain Of under the proposed intrastate tariffcs. The classification is declared to be far higher in it's rates than the official classification.
 For instance, on shipment of common strap hinges. sold by the pound and regarded as the cheapest of iron products, the rate from New York to St. Louis, 1000 miles, is 47 cents per hun dred pounds, while, on the same from St. Louis to Little Rock, a distance of 343 miles, the rate IS 65 cents per hundred.
 But what is worse is the re- quirement that shippers, on less than carload shipments, must use leather, metal, metal or linen tags, in directing the ship ment, unless the name tag is pasted on the carton or box containing the shipment. This absolutely eliminates the time honored card board tag. with its reinforced eyelet. The penalty for failing to direct a consignment in this manner is to have the rates raised one class
 Shippers protest that the de- mand is absolutely unreasonable and that a leather, metal or linen tag is not only iuconvenient but unsatisfactory. On metal tags the address woula have to be printed or impressed, CD leather tags all writing would have to be in ink, and as for linen tags shipping clerks assert tbet when the tag gets wet 1t absorbs the ink and makes the writing next to illegible. With the card board tag this is not the Case. nor is it necessary to use other than a marking pencil.
 Manager A. s. Bragg, of the Little Rock Freight Bureau. has filed a petition with the, inter- state commerce commission pfc- testing against the provisions oi the new classification, and ask ing that it not be applied in the case of Arkansas shippers or Arkansas railroad points.
