NEW BAGGAGE RULES
To Be Adopted Jan. by All the Rail-
roads of the United States.

The railroads of the United States
Jan. l will establish a limit on the
sized baggage parcels which will be
transported by them. For years they
have had a weight limit. but this is to
be in the dimensions. No package
measuring more than 72 inches in any
direction will be accepted. This rule
has been in effect on the Maine Cen
trail since July l of the present year.
At that time the rule became effec-
tive on the New York Central lines,
the n. Y, N. H. & H., and the Bos-
ton & Maine, as well as the M. c.
Now, all roads in the country are to
adopt it.
All packages over the 72-inch di-
mension will have to go by express
or freight.
The principal reason for the limita-
ton of baggage dimension is the i'm
possibility of providing room for the
constantly increasing volume of reg
ular baggage without increasing the
number of baggage cars to such an
extent as to interfere with speed and
operation of passenger trains.
The largest trunks are those of the
clothing house statesmen, who carry
immense lines of samples. 1t Is rare
ly that the professional traveller
carries a trunk larger than 54 inches.
Any excess over 45 inches is charged
for, the same rate per inch, in either
direction, as is charged five pounds
of excess weight over the weight linn
it of $50 pounds per package on sin
gle ticket.
No package weighing in excess of
$50 pounds will be received as bag
