SHIPPERS GAN
SELECT ROUTES
Conditions Governing Freight
Are Revolutionized by New
Railroad Law

Conditions governing the routing of
freight have been revolutionized by the
new railroad law 1t gives shippers the
privilege they did not previously have
of designa ting in writing the through
route over which their business shall
be sent to destination. The carriers
are therefore finding it to their in
tories where they have had no repre-
senation.
Several of them, notably those max
ing up the larger systems between the
east and west and the north and south,
were content to have the situation re-
main unchanged. 1t meant territorial
control which was more often para
mount to monopoly, and enabled them
TO dictate terms not only to their con-
nections but also to shippers. The
latter in particular were completely at
their mercy in that regard, and to
such an extent bitter opposition and
hostility was provoked on this coast.
1t is possible that this was in some
measure responsible for the law now
in effect which eliminates this cause
of anita gonism between railroads and
the shippers.
sense participated in the combinations
which aroused the measure OF hostility
noted must now protect themselves and
may perhaps be greater beneficiaries
than they were under old methods and
practices. Attention called to the
change indicates that northern lines
find that they can now solicit traffic
throughout the territory south of the
Mason and Dixon line on legitimate
ly competitive basis without danger of
being considered invaders and sub
tected to refusals. The southern lines
were practically a unit against them
and built up such formidable barriers
that it was impossible to get a certain
kind of business. The old opportunity
for discriminating against them is
gone, and like the shippers on this
coast they will be able to operate to
better advantage.
Routing instructions in bills of lad
ing must now be obeyed to the letter
and competing carriers have an even
chance with the shipper. The law Is
very specific and admits of no question
or dispute as to the rights of the ship
per and the duty of the carrier.
