which will go into effect July l. and
will be of great interest to the travel
ing public. Many new rules have been
made and 1t was at first decided that
they would be put into effect the first
of the year but this has been changed.
One Of the new rules pertains to the
size of baggage and provides for a
system Of excess baggage charges, on
the basis of the cubic feet contained
in trunk.
The present rule states that baggage
to the amount of $50 pounds for each
full fare ticket is carried free and ex-
cess is charged for all weight over that
amount.
To make trunks used by the travel
ing public more uniform in size, and
to discourage the use of trunks now
handled by the baggage men and that
vary in size from small steamer
trunk to the large trunk that will
hardly go thru a baggage door, new
rule has been made which states that
all trunks over forty-f1ve inches IN
height, length or breadth, be charged
as excess baggage whether they weigh
less than the amount allowed for one
person or not.
Theater Companies Hit.
This new rule affects all trunks
handled by the railway companies and
is hard blow to the theater COM

men. In this same rule the theater
companies are again hit by the fact
that all drop curtains and scenery to
