SERVICE RULES
HELD UNFAIR
Shippers Hold Them Worse
Than Those 1t Was In
tended to Relieve.
COMPLAINT Is FILED.
MANY EXCEPTIONS TAKEN AND
SHIPPERS CLAIM THERE ARE
TOO FEW PROVISIONS FOR RE-
FUND OF CHARGE FOR SHIPPING

The new car service rules adopted
by the Chicago demurrage bureau,
which went into effect on Aug. l, are,
according to the shippers, more I'M
fair and less reasonable than the for
mer rules" The shippers of Chicago,
through the traffic committee of tht
Illinois Manufacturers association,
have filed a complaint asking for the
restoration of the old rules. The
principal cause for protest is in the
reduction of the number of conditions
under which car servict charges may
be refunded. Rule No. II, dealing
with the subject of claims, formerly
contained five provisions for refund,
of which all but one have been elm
mated and which the shippers ask to
have restored. The first provision de-
clares that a claim for refund might
be made Gin case of overcharge or err
ror in the assessment of charges the
second for failure on the part of the
railroad to properly handle freight
when such failure is responsible for
the charges" the third, in case of
| unavoidable failure or breakdown in
LilS uudCuIHcly uSeu lOl iodUlus duu
unloading of cars" fourth, when
the freight cannot be disposed of at
the point held for sufficient to realize
both freight and car service charges"
phe only provision for a refund now
| included in the rules are in cast of ex-
IRENE cold weather. rain, snow or
strikes formerly the fifth provision),
| and in case of errors of omissions on
| the part of the railroad" Railroad
| officials state the first and second pro-
visions are sufficiently covered by the
new item "errors or omissions" and
that the other two items were omit
ted in accordance with recent rul-
ing of the interstate commerce com.
mission. No date has been set for the
proposed conference with the bureau
as to revision of the rules
