RAILROADS AID
THE SHIPPERS
Chamber of Commerce Sue
ceeds in Assisting in
Shipping FREIGHT.

The Fl Paso & Southwestern and
Santa Fe railroads. acting through
their local freight agents. in con-
ference with A. L. Tadloci, traffic
manager Of the chamber Of commerce,
Thursday afternoon agreed to accept
the delivery Of dead freight. which
means anything outside Of perishable
stuff. and forward it under the regu-
lar sailing day plan, according to a
statement made Saturday morning
Under the arrangement that has
been in existence since May. 1913.
shippers have been required TO de-
liver their freight on certain days OF
the week up no the closing hour Of
500. This is said TO have resulted IN
crowding the storage facilities o.
shippers in holding freight which, IN
der normal conditions. was provided
for at the freight houses
Roads Can Handle Better.
Il has been the view Of shippers
that the freight houses Of the rail-
roads were in better position TO han
die this surplus freight than them
selves and. at a meeting OF the trattc
committee on Wednesday. March %. it
was unanimously decided that the re-
quest should be made TO the railroads
TO accept freight as in prewar time,
forwarding it under the sailing day
plan.
The only railroads that have not
been heard from are the Southern Pa
cific and the T. & P, both represented
by one agent. John A. Sanders. who
has been out Of the city for several
days. and the traffic department IS
confident that, upon his return. he
viii recommend the same as that
adopted by the other roads. without
exception. Alr. TadlOck finds that il is
the unanimous wish OF the shipping
public 10 have the prewar handling
Of freight restored as nearly as pos
sibIe.
Relieves the Shipper.
"The benefit to the shipper under
the agreement just reached said Mr..
Tadlock. els that though he has his
book full OF orders. he is restricted m
filling these orders at a specified
time. whereas with the present ar
rangement. he can fill his orders.

out invoices and bills Of lading TO the
customer daily and be through with
the transaction This relieves his Of
flee force OF extra work, relieves his

and also makes II possible for him 70
