SAYS POOR SCALES
CAUSE BIG LOSSES
Would Have Government Take
Over Weighing.

MISUNDERSTANDING that freight
shippers all over the country are suffer
ing an enormous loss because of the
fact that only 10 per cent of the track
scales used by railroads are accurately
tested and that only one-fourth of the
scales are inspected in any way at all,
Representative Willis Of Ohio intro
duced Il bill into the house to require
complete change in this respect
The bill, based on long and eXhaus-
tive examination of the subject by the
interstate commerce commissions re-
QuireS that the American Railway as
ISOLATION be authorized to designate
the standard scale to be used. together
with standards for pits, weights and
all devices pertaining to the track
scales. The railroads would then have
until 1915 to get the proper equipment.
After that violations of the act would
result in heavy fines.
Representative Willis is member OF
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the house and has been
in touch with the interstate commerce
commissions inquiry into the question
involved in his bill The expert of the
commission with whom Representative
Willis has been consulting is Attorney
Marchand of the commission.
