HAGUE RULES URGED
FOR BILLS OF LADING
National Foreign Trade Coun-
Gil Points Out Advantages
Of Conformity.

An urgent recommendation to Amer
lean ship owners and operators to issue
bills of lading drawn in conformity with
the Hague Rules. 1921, was made yes
terday by the executive committee of
the National Foreign Trade Council, OF
which James A. Farrell president of
the United States Steel Corporation, is
chairman. The rules make material
changes in the distribution OF rights
and liabilities between shippers and
ship owners and have been the subject
OF much controversial discussion. They
have been dopted recently by most of
the British shipping companies.
Under the Hague Rules, 1921, the
carriers liability for loss or damage
is increased from 500 to f100--now
about s435-and the carrier is not au-
thorized to prorate losses. The time
within which claims for loss or dam
age can be filed is materially heightened
in case of loss, the burden of proof is
placed upon the carrier TO show that the
'oss did not occur while the goods were
in his charge. In urging adoption OF
.he rules, the committees statement
said:
THE committee believes that these
rules embody as favorable a readjust
ment of the distribution of liability be-
tween shipper and carrier as can at
present be secured. While fully cog
infant that these rules do not satisfy
many of the demands of the shippers the
committee is OF the belief that their
adoption will constitute a substantial
step in the right direction and will. in
fact, confer very real benefit on the
foreign trade OF the United States.
"rhe committee wishes to point out
that ocean transportation is an interna-
tional business, and that American COM
panies cannot continue 20 compete in
the carrying trade OF the world if sad
died with burdens not imposed on their
foreign competitors. II it is desired
to secure additional notifications in
the relationship between shipper and
carrier, the committee feels that action
TO this end should be taken sir,ul-
taneously by the leading maritime Pow
ers.
'The committee urges upon American
ocean carriers the desirability of putting
these rules into effect at the same time
that they are first applied elsewhere.
thus enabling our shippers to offer their
foreign customers shipping documents
providing as great degree of protection
as will he afforded by our competitors
bills OF lading."
The National Foreign Trade Council Is
planning TO call meeting of ship own
ers. traffic managers, bankers and in
surance men. during the Philadelphia
Foreign Trade Convention. May 10. IL
and IL, to consider the Hague Rules
1921, and to take steps necessary to Sc
cure their adoption.

COWART SAVES S1yO.

WAYCROSS, Oct. 3O.-Mayor D.
T. Cowart, of Waycross, has a way
Of hiding his good deeds behind the
curtains Of modesty, but it was
learned today that he saved the city
Of Waycross $3.50 when a circus
came to town recently. 1t appears
that the representative Of the circus,
which is well known the world over,
declared that the organization was
ninety per cent dog and pony show"
which would have allowed it to per-
form here at exactly half the regu-
lar circus license tax rate of $500.
Mr.. Cowart declined to grant the
circus agents request, the latter
leaving in huff, it is said. 1t was
found that the county authorities had
reduced the tax previous to this time,
Mr.. Cowart said.
