' The New. York. New Haven tindl
Mrtford Railroad company, in tho .in-l
restsvot increased oar efficiency and
regularity of handling less than car-
had freight, will discontinue'in part
‘ on October 1' the practice of accept-l
' less than car-load freight indisa
_ ltninately in- any hour of the day for“
dull-tiestinatiops. The officials of that
.. company have Worked out'n practica-l
e amusement governing the at»:
piance. handling and forwarding of
. C. L. business whereby this service}
will be materially improved. Under
the new plan, which has been ttntle‘r‘
consideration for several months, that
business of the stripper. the con~l
‘nlgnee and the. company will be tacit:
itated and the accumulation of L. C.)
ill. freight at the dint-rent freight:
’ houses and transfer points will bei
rgely prevented. This. plan is known
_ rthe “shipping day" arrangement.
H‘ho, shinning days for L. C L.

beheduled from one point“ to another,
according“ to the volume ' or ”knight

‘senirweekly car: where the amount
of freight offered will not warrant
daily or tri-weeltly cars; and .weekly
~ cars when? the quantity of business
does not warrant more frequent serv-

These sailing or shipping dates will
be scheduled and regularly maintain-
ed. When a car, for .entil‘lipk‘. its.

for another tieslenated point. that car
will leave whether it is fully loaded
or not. The 'shippttr will know, there-
fore, that he must have his goods .at

hour: he will know that his freightI

when the car is due at its destinatiotm
and be can advise the consignee no

‘ One. of the most, important features‘
‘ of this plan is that it provides for di-
3 .rect shipments between various

at. transfer lltlillls where heretofore:
. L, C. .L. freight has been generally,
. .. sent for reclassification. One of the'
principal causes of delay in L. (1!. In:
Efreight shipments at the present 'tll‘l‘lt‘l
‘ is_the shortage of labor at freight
houses. Under the new plan the labor
fihbrtage in thin jpat‘iticular haircut,
will be largely eliminated, for instead.t
