Muscatine, Dec. 2. - Believing that
there is tremendous field for develop
nent of freight business on the Mis-
sissippi. B. Layton, theNcontractor in,
charge of the Muscatine levee i'm
provement work, has conceived the
idea of barge line to operate between
cities on the upper river and to handle
thru freight from the Twin Cities to
New Orleans. Mr. Layton, who is at
tending the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement convention in Quincy,
was in st. Louis Monday of this week
arranging the preliminary details in
connection with the project.
Thus far there has been but ono
company which has commenced oper-
s.tions in regard to establishing thru
freight service from upper Mississippi
river towns to the gulf, and the oper-
atoms of that company have been linn
tied to say the least. The Bernhard
barge line, organized in New Orleans
to operate steel hulled barges on the
river, has, so far as is known in Mus
catine, but one barge built and ready
for use. This barge was paraded up
and down the river several times, but
so far as actual competitive operation
is concerned, nothing has been done as
far as is known now.
When the organization planned by
Mr.. Layton has been completed the
head offices Of the company will prob
anly De located in Muscatine. At the
beginning it is planned to handle only
such freight as is too bulky to be
handled by the railroads. but eventual
ly the probabilities are that the COM.
pany will enter into a general freight
ing business between Mississippi river
points. Barges for carrying the freight
will be constructed, strings Of these
barges to be towed by steamboats,,

Representatives of some of the
big railroads attended a hearing
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission here today and pre-
scented plans and suggestions in
relation to the enforcement Of
the Cummins amendment to the
rate law, which prohibits car
riers from restricting their liza
bility on shipments. The amend
ment becomes effective in June,
and the conference was called to
develop what action may be ex-
pected form the railroads with
the idea that the commission
may be able to make suggestions.
1t is the general contention of
the railroads that an unlimited
liability will result in a practical
increase of 10 per cent in some
instances. Several years ago the
railroads adopted a uniform bill
of lading at the suggestion of the
commission which contained a
clause limiting the carriers LA
bility. The present tariffs of
many roads provide that where a
shipper will not accept the uni
form bill, BUT requires the car
rier to assume responsibility for
a shipment, there shall be a 10
per cent penalty increase in the
freight rate over that charged
where the limited liability is suf-
fcient.
