WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Meth-
DDS by which the Bureau Of Serv-

rest were outlined BY William
Bartel. director of the Bureau. in
hn address before the 3Sth annual
convention Of the Freight Chain
Division Of the American Railway
association at Washington. The
sull text Of the address follows:
Your chairman has asked that I
saw a few words concerning the
activities about a year arp of the
Commissions Bureau of Service in
connection with the establishment
Of standardized shipning containers

thereto for the transportation of
fresh vegetables and melons orig
mating in the Rio Grande Wiley in
southern Texas.
The Western Weirhing and In

circular vas not ON file with the
Commission as n tariff publication.

ing out shinments in instances
where no test weights had been
made or we're less than the esti-
mated weights specified in that cir

ng Bureau made checks at the diff

shippers throughout the VALLEY. If
he weights determined by such In
spectors exceeded the estimated
weights shown in the circular the
shipper was required to bill ship

caIcitrant shippers so that we
could make an intelligent survey
OF the entire situation. After the
service agents investigation was
completed he came to Washington
and made a personal report. After
such report it was arranged that
the suspended proceeding be as
signed fer formal hearing be-
fore me.
Accompanying the notice OF hear
Ing vas an announcement that an
informal conference would be had
the previous day. that is, the day
before the hearing . 1t was my ex-
pectation and hope that az such an
informal conference we would be
able to reconcile the difference to
the mutual satisfaction of all con-
cerned. After an all-day discussion
an agreement was reached under
which standard uniform containers
we're to be used In the shipment
OF vegetables from the Valley. and
estimated weights applicable on the
different containers when packed
in such containers were agreed
upon. 1t was understood that while
the estimated weights were agreed
upon they might later be subject
TO revision either upward or down

nevertheless. they would be used

for the purpose of billing out ship
ments.
The Weighing Bureau was TO
continue to make test weights not
for the purpose OF changing the
billing weights during the next
shipping season. because such
weights could not be changed ex-
cept by change in the tariff. but
for the purpose Of determining
whether the weights thus agreed
upon~ represented as nearly as pos
sible the actual weights Of the ship
ments in the different containers.
Tariffs carrying out the agreement
were duly filed. and so far as I am
advised the agreement thus entered
into has worked out harmoniously.
Suspended Tariff Cancelled
Needless to saw. 1t was not neces-
sary to hold a formal hearing. The
tariff under suspension was volun-
tarily cancelled by the carriers and
new tariffs embodying the agree
ment were filed in lieu thereof.

weights.
Friction With Shippers
Needless TO say. this caused a
great deal. of friction and charges
eff discrimination in that II was
alleged that the inspectors were on
certain shippers platforms continu-
ously. while other shippers we're
not checked at all. The result was
that although the weights OF the
containers Of the different shippers
might weigh exactly the same. one
was permitted 10 ship out on basis
Of the estimated weights shown in
the circular while the other was
obliged to make shipments on basis
Of the weights determined by the
inspector. and these weights might
vary from day to day or week to
week. II was also charged that GER
tain shippers were not checked be-
cause the inspector was on that
particular shippers paw roll. we
know Of one instance where the in
spector vas forciblv elected from
the shippers platform and his
scales followed him.
II was with this feeling existing
between the carriers. shippers. and
the weighing and inspection bu-
rea that we undertook to see what
could be done to bring order out
Of chaos.
In the meantime the carriers had
filed a tariff establishing certain
penalty estimated weights to be ap-
piled on shipments made by ship
pers who had denied inspectors OF
the weighing bureau access to their
platforms to test weight their ship
ments. This tariff was SUSPENDED
by the commission upon nrotest.

NO STOMACH PAINS

Sufferers from stomach distress
will be glad to read letter written
by Mrs. D. M. Zerbe, 823 w. Cleve-
land ST., Freeport, Ill, describing
her happy release from years Of
agony. She says:
IT had indigestion awfully bad for
a long time, and it got so severe I
hardly dared to eat. The food
would sour and lie in a lump, caus-
ing gas pains and cramps that tor
tured me all day and kept me awake
at night. I grew weak and nervous,
and my constant headache was al
most unbearable. At times, would
be so dizzy I would nearly faint.
All the time was taking medicines
for constipation, but without I'M
provement. One day I read where
Viuna had brought health in a case
just like mine, so I sent to the drug
store for a bottle. I never before
experienced such quick and blessed
relief. Before that first bottle was
gone, I was a different woman, and
now am eating hearty meals, with
out one sign of indigestion or gas
trouble. The awful headaches and
dizziness have disappeared, and ray
constipation has been conquered. I
get up each morning refreshed by
a sound nights sleep. Viuna worked
wonders for me, as I never expected
to be we'll woman again"
Viuna has worked wonders in
thousands OF desperate cases of kid
ney trouble, back-ache, stomach
trouble and rheumatism. 1t may be

Reparations Plan.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 5-Experts on repara-
tions, preparing today to adjourn one
four months long conference, foresaw
another international meeting within
two or three months to study applica-
cation Of the reparAtions agreement
they have just concluded.
This meeting would be merely q Sc
uueI to the conference just ended and
would compare with that Of August,
1924, when representatives Of the gov
ernments concerned met to study APP
plication Of the Dawes plan. The sus-
sestion has been made that it might
well take place in London, possibly at
the end of judy, although others favor
awaiting ratification Of the accord just
reached.
There was little disposal in any con-
ference circles 10 worry unduly over
problems presented by ratification OF
their accord General belief is that
the governments Of any OF the six ma
tons concerned would be able to sum-
mon parliamentary ma iorities necessary
to bring the agreement into force.
Will Get Copies Soon.
Each of the governments will be in
possession Of the conference report
which will be principally recommend
tions BY the experts, by the END OF the
week and can begin studying 1t then
with q view to deciding what action
will be taken. .f
publication OF the report is not con-
templated until after 1t Is In the hands
of the governments. which would issue

to take from 10 to Is days. II Will De

perts, who will remain In Parls Specn-
cally for that purpose.
Completion Of the text OF the report
was being rushed through today ana
tomorrow SO as to have it ready with
out fail for signature ut least by noon
Friday. The work was in the hands
of three subcommittee, each handling
different phases of the ponderous task
just finished by the experts.
Is Long Document.
This final work itself was labor OF
considerable magnitude since, although
all questions were settled in principle,
the report itself existed only In the form
Of an unwieldy document. IL was
hoped by judicious revision and excision
to reduce 1t from 60 to 20 pages so that
altogether with the annexes concern
ing the international bank and the de-
liveries in kind it might be kept under
20 900 words.
Meanwhile. the experts themselves
were preparing to leave Paris. with
practically all expecting to be gone by
Saturday. The American delegation
will take the Aquitania from Cherbourg
on that day.
Some idea Of the strain to which the
experts were subjected could be gath
cred from the fact that one Of the
experts and he was not Of the plumpest
sort, lost Is pounds in weight. He
explained that he had passed no less
than 80 nights in abstruse calculations
and strivings after exact phrases to sat

quarters in the Department OF Justice.
At that time first steps will be taken
to carry out the preliminary program
mapped out at the initial council of

will be TO consult with various Govern

During the first few days of its ex-
istence, the commission was deluRed
with letters and kilograms from all

which may assist it in its inquiry.
It is expected that the commission to-
morrow will seek from Government de-
partments and agencies, all available

fercement. Many of these data have
been collected in previous surveys by
Federal officials. Attorney General
