BILLS OF LADING RULING.
I. c.. c. Issues First Part OF Report
on Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 3Q.-Limitation OF
the carriers liability by the Value OF
property at the time and place of ship
ment was held by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day to be illegal
This long standing provision OF bills of
lading was ordered stricken out in Its
entirety from the uniform bill prescribed
by the commission as a result of it's
exhaustive Investigation into contracts
required by carriers undertaking trans
portation OF freight.
In prescribing a Uniform bill for ex-
port shipments the provision was re-
tanned, as the Cummlns amendment TO
the commerce act which the provision
was held to contravene, was ruled to be
inapplicable to shipments to non-adja-
cent foreign countries.
The new bills OF lading were ordered
put into use by all carriers subject to
the commission on or before August s,
with thirty days notice to the public
OF the change
The commission held that II had au-
tority to enforce the statutory law in
regard to bills OF iading and that numer-
Gus complaints of unfair and varying
practices Of carriers" in regard to such
bills made a uniform contract impera-
tive
The report issued to-day. written by
Commissioner Robert w. Woolley, re-
la ted only to domestic and export bills.
The live stock contract will be consid-
cred In q supplemental report. Add
tlonai forms for such special traffic as
coal and perishables were held 10 be
unnecessary.
