The Associated Commercial Trav-
elers Of America, through Millard E,
Heise Of New York city, president,
have voiced protest against the
Cummins amendment recently passed
by Congress, requiring passengers to
value their baggage and pay extra
rates for baggage valued at over $lOO
They say that the commercial traveller
will gradually be eliminated by such
legislation, and that mail.order huoses
will take his place.
The Cummins amendment was due
to go into effect June g. but on ac'
count OF the cUmplexity OF the check

used in the East and Southeast
According to letter prepared by
the Associated Commercial Travellers,
"This amendment will cost the com
mercial interests of the United States
unnecessary millions without any ap'
parent benefit except that derived by
the railroad companies The bill was
rushed through both the Senate and
the House without debate, and on It's
face indicates the efforts Of paid lob
byists, rather than intelligent con-
alteration"
The Commercial Travellers com.
plain that those firms that send out
statesmen with very valuable samples,
such as jewelry and furs, carry float
ing insurance, which covers all losses
while their travellers are on the road,
whether such losses occur while the
baggage is In the possession Of the
railroad companies, hotels or other
points during the period when the
commercial travellers are engaged In
selling merchandise, Jewelry samples,
they say, will run into the thousands
OF dollars.
