SHIPPERS GAIN ADVANTAGE
Railroad Boards Ruling VIII Aid
 Movement of Forest Products.

Little Rock.-The Arkansas Railroad Commission arranged a compromise between shippers and carriers on rough material forest products which will have the effect of facilitating the movement of forest products, it is said
 The agreement reached was under the interstate tariff and the terms outlined were in effect, that shippers should comply with all rules and regu. lations and that an inbound rate of two cents should prevail on all rough material shipped into mills provided at least 20 per cent of said shipment was re-shipped. It also was agreed that one-half cent more would be ad. ded to the rate if this 20 per cent was not re-shipped from the mill
 The advantage to the shippers over the old tariff. 1t was explained that a reduction of 10 per cent had been made on the amount of product requir- ed to be re-shipped and that no bond vas required to insure reshipment.

The attorney general states that the law does not mention such cases as breakdowns, or acci- dents and that in his opinion 1t would not be unlawful for the men to work overtime, if upon their consent. in such instances.
 T am inclined to think" he says. that if such extra labor Is wholly voluntary on the part of the labore~. and he is paid for 1t in addition to the regular days work. and such work is not frequent. but occasional. growing out of special necessity. 1t would not be violation of the statute.
