r. r. MUST PAY DEMURRAGE
Washington State Commissions Order
Hits Car Shortage-ls for the
Benefit Of Shippers.

The public service commission of
the state of Washington has promul-
gated and served upon the railroads of
the state reciprocal demurrage rules,
designed to protect the shippers of the
state, to expedite prompt movement
Of freight and to relieve car shortage.
These rules were prepared in re-
Spouse to a widespread demand on the
part of shippers and are similar to de-
murrage rules in force in other states.
Briefly summarized the demurrage
rules provide:
First-That shippers making appli-
cation for cars shall be furnished them
within six days and at Seattle and
other terminal points within three
days. When shippers request notice of
carriers as to day and date when cars
will be furnished it is obligatory upon
the railroads of placement of cars
Failure to furnish cars, or give notice,
subjects the carriers to demurrage
charges of 81 per day per car.
SecOnd-All. freight rendered for
shipment must be transported at a
0S0 VI NV 1908 IAAA w ullc6 quay,
except on branch lines and in case of
irregular service. Failure to SO trans
port within the prescribed time sub
jects carriers to reciprocal remurrage.
Third-Cars must be placed by car
riers at accessible places for unloading
within "a hours after arrival.
Fourth-Consignees must be notified
within "a hours after arrival of freight
as to weight, freight charges, Identity
ing number and initials OF cars. Fail
ure to SO notify imposes demurrage
charges upon carriers.
Fifth-Shippers entitled to demur-
rage charges shall make written ap-
plication therefor and carriers must
pay same within 80 days.
Sixth-All disputes between rail-
roads. shippers and consignees must
be referred to the public service COM
mission for decision.
