northwestern roads to suspend tho operation of the long and short haul clause of the inter state law in order that these lines may meet the competition of the Canadian Pacific in car rying passengers

they were efter and how to go to work to get it The steadily increasing size of box cars during recent years has brought out this protest from a committee of car account ants appointed to report on standard cars: Your committee views with much regret the continued increase in the size of box cars The building of box cars beyond the standard dimensions seems to be fraughtwith many disadvantages including direct loss of revenue to the railroads without any compensating considerations Your committee feels that the root of this trou l)lo lies in the existing freight elassifica tion which has established a set of mini mum weights of loading which are higher on the average than tho capacity of the cars The result is that a shipper who de sires to forward a carload of freight is com pelled to pay on a minimum of say 20000 pounds while the car that is set for his accommodation if of standard size will probably hold only 12000 pounds The result is that he pays for 8000 pounds which he does not ship The man next to him also ships a carload and is given a furniture car thatiholds the required minimum the rail road' company receiving the same price from each shipper but carrying 8000 pounds more for the second man This necessarily occurs every day on account of the classi fication rules and the continued practice of building large furniture cars instead of ob viating the

means competition between thesetwo points that has never been known be fore the Grand Trunk having up tn this time had a monopoly but it is quite likely to be quite friend ly owing to the more

overwhelmed the Toronto Hamilton Buffalo and its pros pects for building a line to Toronto were killed dickering with the Michigan Cen tral and the Canadian Pacific The relations with the Grand Trunk
