Uniform bills of lading to be used
by all of the steamship companies
will come into immediate use as a re-
suit of an effort for the reform made
by the foreign trade committee of
the San Francisco chamber of com
merce. Heretofore, each steamship
company has used its own idea of al
bill of lading, resulting in many of
them being a size too large to be
handled in the ordinary typewriter
and Of such poor quality that they
would not take ink or retain legibil-
ity.
The foreign trade committee an
n0unced that practically all of the
companies operating vessels in the
foreign trade in and out of San Fran
cisco have agreed to use a uniform
bill of lading, as far as size and
quality Of paper so. Among these
are the American Hawai-
ian, the Pacific Mail, the Togo Kisen
Kaisha, the Union, Kosmos, the Har-
riInan direct line, the Oceanic, the
Dollar and the New York & Pacific |
steamship companies The Pacific
Mail company has already adopted
the new size bill of lading and the
others will adopt it as soon as they
can get the forms supplied
