Beat-The-Meter Game Nets City Pile Of Queer Coins If slot machines ever regain legal favor in Charlotte, the city government may be a steady patron. For the treasury, inadvertently, is accumulating a sizeable batch of slugs. They come--the counterfeit coins, nickel-sized discs, metal tax tokens -from the weekly parking meter take, and they repose in a special box acquired for the purpose. Among the more than 1,000 that were bared for inspection yesterwere numerous Canadian dimes, a couple of Cuban what-you-maycall-ems, pennies and nickels worn smooth or hole-punched, hundreds of nickel-in-trade tokens, and an Alabama sales tax doo-dad.

One penny, with a string attached, had been dropped into the parkmeter by a' customer who, ably, thought he could trip the clock and jerk his coin back -thus Common Carriers Warned Of Violating Credit Rules I. C. C. Heads Promise Enforcement Actions Unless Companies Comply With Commission Regulations. Unless motor common carriers of property with headquarters or branches and terminals in Charlotte comply more carefully with the Interstate Commerce commission rules governing the settlement of tariff rates and charges, it will be necessary to resort to enforcement action which would involve both carriers and the shippers who are being favored by the extension of credit beyond the currently prescribed limits, Paul A.

Sherier, district supervisor of the Bureau of Motor Carriers, I. C. warned yesterday. Under the law, it was pointed out, common carriers of property in interstate commerce by motor vehicle are prohibited from delivering or relinquishing possession at destination of freicht, transported by them until and charges have been paid except as provided regulations in Ex Parte No. MC-1.

This prescribes payment by the shipper within seven days of the presentation of the freight bill, or it billed in advance, within seven days after delivery of the freight. INVESTIGATION HELD. Mr. Sherier stated that a recent investigation of carriers' records conducted in this area indicated that carriers in some instances are extending credit to shippers beyond the limits of the regulations, and Harry B. Rubey, district director of the bureau, concurred in this allegation.

Mr. Rubey asserted that the failure of carriers to remit C.O.D. collections promptly to the shippers in accordance with the tariff regulations, and the shippers' failure to pay the freight charges to the carriers within the prescribed time, were violations which appeared to go hand in hand. Carriers and shippers indulging in such practices subjecting themselves to prosecution and the penalties prescribed act, he stated. In discussing the ruses and regulations the officials of bureau warned the that the extension of credit to favored shippers in excess of that permitted by the regulations may constitute 1 the offense of offering and granting concessions on the part of the carrier, and the offense of receiving concessions on the part of shipper.

Shippers who habitually delay payment beyond the allowable time and those who refuse or neglect to pay overdue accounts must be placed cash basis until such time as "the carriers have satisfied themselves that further credit will not be abused, they explained. The presence on carriers' books of unpaid accounts of long standing, unless they take the necessary legal steps to force collection, would be deemed sufficient to institute proceedings against the carriers, it being their duty to collect the full tariff rate in the required time allotted. The fact that the consignor of consignee had filed, with the carrier a claim damages to the property transported, or other shipments, is no excuse for the postponement of the collection of the lawfully established charges for the transportation of the property, the officials emphasized. Claims for damages and collection of established charges for transportation are separate and distinct items, and carriers are not relieved from their duty of collection because such claims are filed, concluded. These rulings there brought to the attention of truckers in this area at a meeting of common carriers of property Thursday evening at Hotel Charlotte.

GRADE LABELS ARE DISCUSSED Lawmakers and Laymen Propose Plans For Protecting Ultimate Consumers. WASHINGTON, May 28.

He said such labeling "might tend to discourage improvement and creation of individuality." Another witness against grade labeling was Julian J. Verst, Chicago, publisher of the trade journals, Wholesale Grocer News and the Successful Grocer. He told the committee he had conducted a poll among wives of representatives and senators as to their practices when buying groceries, whether they buy by brand name or by asking for "good quality" or other indication.
