DON'T LIKE NEW CAR RULES.
st. Louis Shortage Due to Recent Rail
way Association Order.

St Louis Sept. 13.-Railroad traffic
managers and superintendent at
conference held here decided to ap-
peal at once to the American Railway
association for a suspension or perma-
nent modification of the rule which
the railroad men agreed was RESPONSE
bic for the car shortage that is block
ing the St. Louis grain market. Chas.
Rippen, traffic commissioner of the
Merchants exchange, declared the car
shortage in st. Louis and East st.
Louis elevators had reached $50 cars.
The difficulty at st. Louis is that the
inbound lines carrying grain from the
west to this market will not permit
the reloading of their cars for out
bound shipments east and south. and
the lines carrying outbound shipments
are unable TO supply the demand for
cars at this season of heavy grain
shipments. The American Railway
association adopted a new rule which
went into effect September l. under
which cars are required to be return
ed to the road they belong to under
severe penalties in the way of fines
The inbound lines want their cars
back at this period, and the rule
breaks up the former practice of using
the inbound cars for shipments south
and east.

RAILROAD news
New System of Labelling and
Waybilling Freight.
Express Companies Announce
Plans This Month.
BENEFIT TO C0NSIGNEES
Agents viii Deliver All Goods
at Company Risk.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.

All of the principal express com
panies of the country have adopted
| beginning with September u a system
! of labelling and way billing freight
which has been prepared In accord
ance with the suggestion of the inter
state commerce commission made ID
its order of last June, proposing num-
erous reforms in the operation of the
/ express business. The circular OF
Wells. Fargo & Co, announcing the
new plans, shows eight principal forms
of labels and way bills. Those made
on yellow paper signify that no charges
are to be collected; on white, that
charges are to be collected; on green,
that charges for transportation and
also for the cost of goods are TO be
collected &C. o. ID and red labels are
for shipments carried in bond. The
word prepaid or collect" appears If
bold face type on every label and ev-
cry bill. small label is affixed &c
each piece of every shipment Except
money! when it is received, and if pre-
paid the amount is shown. The sec
ond and larger label is substantially
duplicate of the way bill, made at one
writing by carbon process, and is al
fixed to the package before it is start
ed on its journey. Blanket way bills, or
those in which a number of items are
doned entirely, except the form used
by the supply department; and these
usually carry only one or a very few
shipments In connection with this
abandonment of the blanket way bill
it is of interest to note that on the
Central q Georgia railway, where in
dividual way bills have been in use fo1
ten years or more, the number of way
bills is found TO be only about Is per
cent more than when the old forms
ere used.
The instructions sent out by the eX
press companies contain elaborate di
rectiOnS for compliance with the dictum
of the interstate commerce commission
that when an agent at destination is
in doubt whether or not to collect
charges on shipment of merchandise
he is to give the consignee the benefit
of the doubt-and deliver the goods
without making any collection. If a
shipment is received with abel, but
no way bill, delivery is to be made /
according to the label. In delivering |
goods without full knowledge the agent |
is to have an understanding with the !
cOnsignee that charges are to be paid !
later by him if it be found that the |
shipper has not paid them.
