MIXED CAR CUT
IS OPPOSED
Carriers From East, North,
Refuse to Participate
In New Rule

SAN BENITO, March 1.-Carriers
east OF the Mississippi and north OF
the Ohio rivers have refused TO par
ticipate with southwestern carriers
in applying the new mixed car rule,
according TO a letter received here
today by J.. Z. Bell, chamber Of
commerce secretary, from u. 8.
Pawkett at San Antonio.
Bell wrote letters to most Of the
shippers in the Valley, asking them
what they wish to do about the
matter in the way OF continuing ef-
forts to have the rule adopted.
Pawkett in his letter says "The
only avenue whereby the mixed car
rule as we now have 1t can be Sc
cured to points east of the MiSsis-
sippt river win be through q for
NAL complaint before the Interstate
Commerce commission. Whether
that complaint viii be filed Is a
matter which must be decided by
the interested shippers in the VAL
ley. I say in the Valley for the rea-
son that they are about all the Tex
as shippers who are chipping mix
ed cars to the northern and eastern
territory"
Pawkett said the southwestern
carriers, which adopted the new
mixed car rule February ID. have
worked long and diligently to get
the other carriers to adopt the
mixed car rule, but without suc-
cess.
This rule Is that in mixed cars
each community will carry its solid
carlot rate, instead of the rate OF
the entire a being based on the
carlot rate or the commodity with
the highest rate.
1t Is estimated the action Of
southwestern carriers alone in
adopting the rate will mean a saw
ing Of S250,000 annually to the VAL
ley.
