tion. was elected chairthall. After read-
ing a number of letters from different
manufacturers and Jobl‘lers from the
various cities, assuring the meeting
they w0uld stand by its ultimate dew
clsiou, Mr. Biggs submitted ilaures as
to just what the recommendation of
the trunk lines committee would mean
to the industry |
"it has been suggested that the
adoption of this recommendation
might cost the trade over 8500 000 ll
year," be said, "while the actual will
to, the railroads in the lessening of,
claims filed against it for shortages
would be comparatively nothing.” ,
it was then unanimously resolved
that a committee with full power be
appointed to lay their case before the
meeting of the trunk lines committee
on April 6 and protest strongly against
the suggested recommendation The
committee will endeavor to gather ac~
tual proof of the total claims for loss-
es submitted to the railroads by each
individual manufacturer and jobber
within the past few years, one of the
strongest points raised being that any
number of dealers, rather than take
the trouble to file a claim. would
pharge the lost item up to profit and
one.
"For it takes pix months to get thir-
ty ccnta" declared a manufacturer.
