An evidence Of how people appreciate
the action Of President b. r. Bush, OF
the Missouri Paciic-Iron Mountain, IN
abolishing the rel tape that existed in
the Claim Department, is shown by an
incident just reported from Kansas. A
lumber company in that State received
a carload of lumber and paid freight on
the basis of the weight as shown by the
invoice. They unloaded the car and re-
weighed the lumber and found that it
weighed considerably more than claimed
in the invoice. Thereupon they returned
to the Missouri Pacific Company Sll.lO,
the amount OF freight which should have
been charged III addition to what was.
In making The, return they stated The
Company is treating us absolutely square
on all our claims, and has given its local
representative authority to settle with Us
here, without having to fight five or Sly
months for our money. As your Com
pany il 80 fair with us, we intend to trea
it lust as square, and send you herewith

Several months ago, MIR. Bush, finding
how much red tape and delay existed i
the Claim Department, inaugurated
system after his own ideas. He change
the arrangements from departmental
divisional plan, and abolished the Clair
Department mi an organization, maxim
it part Of the Legal Department, to e'
