FREIGHT SHIPMENTS GOING
 ON CASH BASIS ON JULY 1

Director General McAdoo has noti- fled freight agents that on July 1 all railroads operating under government control will be placed on a cash basis as far as the handling of freight is concerned. The effect of this order will be the abrogation of all arrange ments now existing between the rail roads and the shippers and consignees for credits on freight bills. Many of these arrangements are on the basis of semi-weekly and monthly credits. Exceptions to the order will be al- lowed after July where applications for a credit of 48 hours are made in writing and approved by the freight agents
 It is suggested that large shippers make application at once for this AS hour credit in order that the service may not be interrupted. Otherwise, consignees must pay the charges when the freight is delivered, and those who bill out prepaid freight must pay the charges when delivery is made to the railroad That is to say, shipper who wishes to pay the freight instead of leaving his GUS toner to pay it, must pay it on deliv- cry to the railroad, unless he receives credit under the 4S-hour plan.
