citation Recommends Establish
ment of One in New York.
POINTS TO BE ACHIEVED.
Executive Committee Says Railroads
Present Solid Front. While Ship
pcrs Arc Usually Divided.

Ci1icago, June / The executive com
smittee of the National Manufacturers
association has recommended the es-
Establishment Of a permanent traffic
bureau With Headquarters in New
York. 1t is stated that upon all Eaues-
Tons affecting the welfare OF the ship
pefs and railroads Jointly the railroads
always present a solid front, whereas
the shippers are usually divided, and
their efforts to get Justice are more or
less futile

cure are the following:
Simplicity in tariffs, prevention OF
unwarranted increases in minimum
carload weights, uniform re-consign-
ment privileges, a law giving the ship
per control over the routing of freight
