first case the shipper should be
reimbursed for his loss oc~casioned
by delay at least one-half OF the
actual loss as it is nothing less
than a contract entered into and
should be binding without discri.
mination on both parties. Under
present laws it seems that every.
thing is in favor of the railroad
company. In cas- of delay whet.
her caused by neglect or not, the
railroad Co. is not responsible
with the result that shippers are
gambling when shipping stuff.
1t is a question whether the re.
ciprocal demurrage law can be in.
voked under circumstances as
have presented themselves last
winter. and this is the only clause
On our statute which is intended
to equalize the relation between
the railroads and shippers.
While there is no doubt that Of
icials of the railroads are doing
their best to give good service, il
IS a know fact that employers are
neglectfui and do not perform
their duties in detail as ordered.
This a the strongest argument
brought before the assembly tend
ing to locate the fundamental
cause of all trouble.
In view of this fact all delegats
we're instructed to report such ir-
regularities to MI. Beck. secreta-
ny of the organization, who would
thereupon present them before
the proper authorities.
Another phase of the meeting
was to make the organization per
manent; this being the only met
hod to obtain better service. 1t
is our belief however, that all this
is ineffective and harm
less so long as it is not backed by
a substantial railroad legislation
on our statute.
