LEGATION Of classification No. 43. A
circular letter directing attention to
the reyisions In the forthcoming
classification has just been mailed to
railroad companies by r. N. Collyer,
chairman Of the Official classification
committee, Of New York City.
The changes were. made necessary
in order that the railroads might
meet the additional liabilities that
are imposed on freight carriers IN
the Cummins amendment to the In
terstate commerce commission act.
which was passed at the last session
OF Congress. Complete reyisions are
provided for livestock and wild ami

Changes in the uniform bill Of

the contract with man or men in
charge OF property other than live
stock while in transit, are among the
many that were made in view OF pre-
vaiilng conditions.
The new classification will affect
practically all Clarksburg shippers. as

railroads from the Mississippi river
on the west to the Atlantic ocean on
the east. ,.,.
