N FOR RAILROAD WAGONS
Time Fixed Beyond Which Retention
Of Car Will Be Offence Under De-
tense Of Realm Rules.

In view Of the extreme importance
of securing that the utmost possible
use shall be made Of railroad wagons,
the board Of trade has now issued or
ders which come into force In Great
Britain, fixing the time beyond
which the retention of a railroad wagon
by q trader will be an offense under
the defense Of the realm regulations,
says a London Dispatch to Christian
Science Monitor. The times allowed
are In general n complete day for
loading and two for unloading. Three
days flour In ScOtland) are allowed
for unloading shipments traffic at
ports. and two days are allowed in
Scotland for loading wagons with coal
for shipment. The orders do not apply
to coal traffic In England and Wales.
Further orders give power to railroad
companies themselves to unload wag-
ons which are not unloaded by the
trader within the prescribed times,
and to make use Of the private owners
wagons on the return Journey so that
the unnecessary haulage Of empty wag-
n may be avoided. These orders are
being printed rs statutory rules.
Where necessary, the periods at pres
ent allowed before demurrage charges
accrue will be amended so as to ac-
cord with the periods fixed by these
orders.
