TO SAVE ON PRINTING BILLS
Decision of I. c. c. Means Big Saving
to CarIot Shippers.

OecfS>On OF L. Z. q. Means big Saving
to CarIot Shippers.
Carlot shippers in this territory and
others will save a lot of money on
their printing bills as a result of a
decision announced this morning to
the Topeka Traffic association by the
interstate commerce commission.
The carriers a few months ago
changed the form of their waybills,
the new form to become effective
March Is
The shippers have their own way
bills printed in thousands, and some
of them have as much as five years
supply of the old form on hand. They
applied for permission to use the old
forms until they were exhausted, and
received permission to use them to
July l. There are still carloads of
the old forms in the hands of the
shippers and the carriers, it was an
nounced today. Will extend the time
when they may be used up to Decem-
ber 81, another six months.
The changes in the waybill provide
additional protection for the consignOr
against being sued for freight charges
for the advertising of freight held un-
claimed at destination and add GER
tain liabilities to the carrier in the
transportation of grain.
The provisions themselves went into
effect on March Is. and the old way
bills which are used must be stamped
with a stamp calling attention to the
fact that the shipment is made sub
Ject to the new provisions.
