Sixty DAYS Is Sufficient.

Washington, Dec. 2O-In decision
by the Interstate Comm cree Commits
sion handed down today, involving a
claim of 20 cents IN an overcharge
on freight made against the Aberdeen
G. Ashore Railway company and 9TH
er lines, railroads generally are
severely reprimanded for their delay
in adjusting claims where there has
been a palpable overcharge.
The railway had admitted the over
charge, but did not settle with the
shipper until the latter had exhausted
the ordinary methods OF collections
and finally filed their complaint with
the commission.
If carries persist IN their delay, the
commission intimates it may be under
the necessity OF calling the attention
OF congress to the matter
Commissioner Harlan, in writing
the report of the commission, said:
From shippers in all parts of the
country and from local traffic associa-
tions, which are making earnest eff
forts on fair and reasonable lines to
carriers in this regard many COM
pldlHlS ildVC DCClI lCNCIVOu III VliC idot
plain overcfargc claims, and OF their
delay i'll adjusting them. And sur
vcy of the complaints has led us to
the conclusion that this practice, or
rather lack OF practice, among car
rcrs, is open to the severest criticisms.
A substantial portion of the time
and labor of this commission is given
ito the effort to secure Through in
formal correspondence, the settlement
Of claims of this character, and it is
"a burden from which we ought to be
relieved by the carriers. On the 9TH
er hand, from the shippers point OF
view, nothing in connection with
transportation is more vcxing and
irritating than the labor and delay in
cidcnt to the following up Of the
voercharge claim and securing its re-
payment
The commission expresses the
opinion that an ordinary claim of this
character should be adjusted and paid
by the carriers within 80 days, and in
special cases that no more than 90
days should be required for settle
mcnt and adds that it will expect the
cordial cooperation of all carriers in
our request that the claims depart
ment be so recognized as to give
more prompt results" r
In another case decided today, orig
mating in Chicago, the complainant
had died before his claims had been
adjusted and the commission ordered
the Chicago, Great Northern railroad
to pay the amount of the claim to his
estate.

The first evidence that the rcpubli-
can senate was rcccding from its
position in favor OF foreign stone and
that the stress Of public opinion was
being felt, came last NIGHT when the

MacGinnis bill providing for the use
of Montana stone, acceded to the re-
quest of the house by close vote and
named a conference committee con-
sisting Of Donlan, Everett and Nc
Carthy to meet the house committee
of MacGinnis. Crutchfcld and Werner

pared and referred to general orders.
Donlan moved that the senate re-
solve itself into committee of he
whole. with Mccarthy i'll the chair,
to consider the bill. 1t was read sec
ton by section. No amendments

words provided that no more shall
be paid for such granite than Like

The amendment was seconded. Don

would be defeated. Long
agreed with the Missoula senator and
the amendment was lost by vote of
10 to 4, the -four voting for the amend
