Lower Prices for Same Qualities Than Elsewhere 1 UNIFORM BILL OF LADINO TO 8g COMPLETED SOON The conunittee3 representing shippers and railways, appointed to confer on a uniform bill of lading. have reached an agreement upon the disputed points, and it will be completed in a month or so. The bill will probably be adopted over the entire country for state as well as interstate business. There were four main points of contention between railways and shippers. Initial responsibility has been fixed by law upon the initial carrier.

In the matter of insurance against fire, the railroads are to be responsible only when the fire is the result of their carelessness. The burden of proof in disputed claims will rest Upon the railroads. The new bill of lading will be stamped Not negotiable." as heretofore. chiefly because Pennsylvania and some other states have laWS prohibiting negotiable bills of lading. Nevertheless, the instrument will no doubt continue to be negotiable, as it has always been.

When these statutes against negotiability in the states can be removed shippers will have a bill of lading which agli declare itself to be negotiable. MURRAY ELECTED PRESIDENT OP BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

TEX.t December pro- posed order of ha Texas railroad commission requiring the Banta Fe, the Southern Pacific, the International and Great Northern gild the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Companies to build a Joint causeway across Galveston bay, to connect the mainland with Galveston island. at a probable cost of $5,000,000, will be vigorously resisted by the companies involved when the subject comes up for formal consideration on January 22. It is claimed by the railroad companies that the commission would be exceeding its authority in issuing such an order, as the federal government has control over the waterways of the state.

If the power to require the to build the proposed catiseway lies in any government body it is with the interstate commerce commission, and not with the state railroad commission, the railroad companies say. The railroads also claim that the present congested condition of traffic in Galveston is not due to any lack of track facilities for crossing Galveston 417 North Broadway, St. Louis, Mo.
