SHIPPERS Want
CARS MOST OF ALL:
RATES NOT VITAL
Nebraska Dealers Call Rail.
road Commissions Attention
to Reciprocal Demurrage
Law Now in Courts.

Lincoln, Ncb, May l8.-(SpcciaI) J
TO help the nation win the war Ne
braska railroads should cxpediatc
freight movements and loading and
unloading of cargoes, in the opinion
of shippers who testified before the
State Railway commission today on
the carriers application for increased
demurrage charges.
Shippers did not find so much fault
with the proposed increase as with
the slowncss of the roads in providing
rolling stock sufficient TO handle the
business.
Demurrage on Both Sides.
Hay shippers represented at the
hearing and speaking through Mr.,
kindc OF Hastings, declared roads
should recognize the Nebraska reci-
procal demurrage law, now held up i'll
the courts This would penalize the
roads for not furnishing cars on de-
mand Of the shippers. If the shippers
must pay demurragc when they fail
to unload cars quickly, they argue that
the roads should pay for loss when
they do not supply cars. The rail
roads, however, refused TO yield III
this regard.
Long Waits Numerous.
The hay shippers prevented the
commission approving the application
of the railroads for new demurragc
rates of s. day for the first five days
following free time and SIS day
thereafter. Producers avcrred that
they have had to wait three or four
weeks after getting hay baled and or
dering cars before receiving them
The roads denied this, insisting that
SO per cent of all demurragc is col
lected on cars held for unloading, and
that they are liberal with shippers to
whom they furnish cars for loading.
Uniformity Plea Made.
A plea for uniformity in demurrage
rates was madefby Manager Roche
ford of the western demurragc and
traffic bureau at Chicago. He asked
for the scale approved by the Inter
state Commerce commission and the
state commissions of dozen states.
Higher rates have been allowed in
Colorado and New Mexico, he said.
Higher rates bring more prompt un-
loading, he said, and enabled the roads
to better handle their traffic.
The roads want to be patriotic by
sending part OF their equipment to
Europe, Mr.. Rocheford said.
The State Farmers union will not
object to the higher rates, President
c. H. Gustafson declared.
