NEW SHIPPING RULES
EFFECTIVE IN AUGUST
Important Communication from Sec
retary of Omaha Live Stock Kx
change for Herald Readers.
By A. P. STKYKEK
In line with our practises in the
past, I thought it well to advise,
your readers of the new shipping j
rules which will in all likelihood be-
come effective probably not later
than August of this year. I
These new rules are tne result or ,
the activities of the special mo
stock committee of the Regional Di
rector's force in Washington. D. C.
Some of th-m are in line wh :h;
rules which have been in offvt tor
ea tie C 'liSi'Verabli-. time. Others
them make radical changes in pres
ent shipping conditions. A few of
them are entirely new. They are all
based on freight rate authority 7818
put out by Mr. Edward Chambers.
Director of Division Tariffs United
States Administration.
I shall take them up and comment
on them in the order they appear in
Mr. Chamber's communication.
Fiist comes the charge for clean
ing and disinfecting tars:
'"When cars liat have been, or
are to be loaded with live stock nnl
it becomes necessary to clean and
disinfect tuch cars in order tc com
ply with Federal. State. County or
Municipal regulations, or when re
hv hinner and the carriers
perfo.-i the service, the charge will
be for single decks 12.50; for double
decks $4.00."
Feeding Charges on Live Stock.
Feeding charges on Live Stock in
transit at railroad operated stock
yards:
"When live stock : in transit is
stopped at railroad operated stock
yards for feed, water, and rest, in
compliance with Federal and State
Laws, or, upon request of shipper,
the carrier furnishing the feed and
performing the service, the charge
for the service of unloading, feeding
and watering and reloading the
stock will be $1.00 per car.. When
shipments of hogs are fed and water
ed without unloading from car the
service charge for feeding and water
ing will be fifty cents per car. To
the service charge will be added the
actual cost of the feed furnished, as
provided in paragraphs 2 and 3.
Live stock when in transit so
hours or less, shall be fed in accord
ance with Instructions from owner
or attendant in charge, but not less
than the following:
Horses and Mules, 200 lbs. hay
per car.
Cattle, 200 lbs. hay per car.
Sheep or Goats, 100 lbs. hay per
CAP
Hogs. 2 bushel grain per single
deck car. . .
nogs, 2tf bushel grain per double
deck car. " M ...
When amount! in excess of 200
lbs. of b&T or mixed- feed or 2H
bushels of grain per car are fed, the
charge for the service " of feeding
each additional 100 lbs. of hay Or
mixed feed, or each additional bushel
of grain will be 25c, which charge j
will be in addition to the cost of the i
feed."
You will note this is a radical de
parture from old time customs.
Feeding Uve Stock in Transit.
Feeding Live Stock in transit at
other than railroad operated stock
yards:
"When live stock in transit is
stopped for feed, water and rest, at
other than railroad operated stock
yards, the actual charge made by
such stock yards will be assessed
against the shipment and may be
paid by attendant in charge or must
be entered in way-bill as feed
charges."
This makes no changes in present
charges where live stock is fed in
privately owned feed yards:
Attendants in Charge.
I can best cover this matter by
quoting the entire rule. You will
note an effort is being made to re
strict somewhat the promiscuous use
of caretaker for the transportation
of people other than those interested
in the shipment. We can find no
fault with that condition.
"When free transportation is Is
sued to the owner or attendant ac
companying live stock, he shall file
with the agent of the carrier an af
fidavit, or a written statement, that
he is the owner of the stock that he
accompanies or is the bona fide em
ployee of the owner, and Is accom
panying the stock for its care and
protection, and that he will keep
close watch over the stock while It is
enroute, protecting it from all injury
and otherwise to the best of bis abil
ity. "Should it develop that free trans
portation has been secured by reason
of .' any misrepresentation on the
part of either the owner- or; em
ployee who accompanies the stock,
the owner shall forfeit to the carrier
double the regular first-class passen
ger fare between the points traveled
by the attendant accompanying the
stock.
Noue but male caretakers will be
ier::tit!cd . ' accomiat? shipments
of live stock."
Furnishing Two Single Deck Cars.
Furnishing two single deck cars in
lieu of one double deck car:
This rule Is considerable of a con
cession at all of the large or primary
markets as well as the rule which
follows relative to furnishing double
deck cars in lieu of a "ingle deck car
ordered, bwth of which rules we are
r-pr.viucli k herewith.
"Where rates are published on
hogs, calves, sheep, lambs, and
goats, In double deck cars different
from single deck rates and minimum
and a double deck car is ordered by
the shipper which the carrier is un
able to furnish, two single deck
cars will be furnished for loading at
the following primary markets:
(Show list of primary markets.)
Charges for the two single deck
cars will be assessed at the rate and
minimum weight or at the charge
for double deck car ordered "provid
ed such stock could be loaded in a
uonine deck car of the size ordered."
"When a single deck car is order
ed at any point, and carrier is un
able to furnish, and furnishes a dou
ble deck car, one deck may be loaded
and the single deck minimum weight
and rate for the kind of car ordered
will apply. Agent will note on live
stock contract and waybill the fol
lowing: Single desk car ordered by
shipper on (Date)
Double deck car supplied
by carrier on (Date)
Allowancea to Public Stock Yards.
Allowances to public stock yards
for receiving and delivering live
stock carriers account:
r.'tts 'u!e l. of vital important t
all live stock shippers us it pointedly
places the burden of unloading live
stock' where it properly belongs; that
is, with the carrier at all primary
market. The rule itself here fol
lows. 'tn carriers for their own con
venience arrange with stock yards
not operated by the carriers to pro
vide facilities for the receipt aid de
livery of live stock for carrier's ac
count, and when such facilities are
designed by the carriers as their es
tablished stations for the receipt and
delivery of live stock, the amounts
that the carriers will pay for the
service performed by such stock
yards in receiving and delivering live
stock for carrier's account, Including
loading or unloading ,as the case
may be, will be as follows:
For the receipt or delivery
of single deck cars 50c each
For the receipt or delivery
ef double deck cars ....75c each
Bedding Charges.
We are reproducing this rule
without comment. You will note
there will be a charge made by the
carrier when they furnish bedded
cars. This Is quite a radical depar
ture from old time practices, as will
be noted by the provisions of the
rule itself.
"Live stock in carloads must be
provlaed with suitable bedding.
When the shipper performs the
service, no charge will be made by
cai-rer.
When the service is performed by
carrier, the charge will be $1.00 per
single deck car or $1.50 per double
d-"k t ar.
When live stock Is transferred en-
route for the carrier's convenience,
bedding will be furnished by carrier
without charge.
When live stock Is recognised or
rebilled In transit and a newly bed
ded car Is furnished by carrier,
charges will be in accordance with
paragraph No. 3.
Charges for bedding when not
paid by shipper, must be entered on
live stock contract and waybilled as
'bedding charges.' "
