|. &C.. HOLDS HEARING
ON CUMM|NS LAW

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Clark today heard members of COM
mittee representing all railroads in Off
cial classification territory relative to
the Cummins amendment to the inter-
state commerce act.
This amendment will become effective
June 3 and, according to the railroads.
greatly increases their liability to con-
signors and consignees. and. in fact. IL
admitted on all hands greatly TO
strengthen the restrictions relative to
bills of lading. giving to their holders
far broader rights than heretofore I'm
recovering from carriers for damege to
property.
The companies Contertion is that the
imposition of these additional restric
tions should be offset by an arrange
mcnt empowering them to base their
charges on the declared value of ship
ments. an arrangement practically
amounting to an insurance system and
involving frequently a higher charge on
a specified valuable consignment than
weight.
The amendment also provides that the
roads may not fix a less period than 20
days for notification of losses. of four
months for the fling of claims or Of
two years for the bringing Of suits Tho
roads urge that these periods be made
maximuns instead Of minimums.
%. n. Buttcrtield opened the discus
SION Tor the railroads. and President II.
q. Wilson, Of the National Independent
Irafhc League. was scheduled to fol-
low, on behalf of those interests which
contend the Cummins amendment i'm
poses no additional hardships upon
them.
X. b. Scott and G. Jones Rixcy. of
the western and southern classification
railroads. respectively, indorscd what
Butterfield had to say. laying much
emphasis on the claim that tho com
panies do not seek to use tho Cummins
amendment as lever for securing
higher rates, but merely want to secure
an equivalent for what will otherwise
mean an actual loss to them.
Under the existing system the roads
have charged an additional flat 10 per
cent to consignors who refused to ac-
ccpt the carriers arbitrarily fixed
liability limitation for shipments.
The right TO make this flat extra
charge being denied them by the amend
ment. what Is desired, it was explained
Is to have basic value and rate fixed
with an additional per cent charge
every time this basic value is increased
100 per cent.

highest salaried man in the minors, as
he has an $4,000 contract which does
not expire until the end of next sea-
son. Ban Johnson signed Sweeney TO
this contract last winter.
Warhop also signed a high salaried
three-year contract last winter. In
telling of the release of these play
ers Business Manager Sparrow said:
I'VE have to pay them anyhow, SO
we might as well put them in a
place where they will have to work
for their money"
Sweeney and Warhop are the real

here in summer of 1908 and WARRIOR
in the fall of the same year, Sweeney
coming from Atlanta and Warhop
from Williamsport. Mullen came
from the Lincoln Western league
team last season.. He was manager
of that club when Irwin signed him.
Cree is now the veteran of the
club, as he came here in the spring
of 1909, though for continuou SER
vice the honor belongs to Ray Fisher,
who also joineu the team in 1909.
