The Ashevllle Lumber Exchange has formulated bill relating to frelghj car demurrage, the purpose of which seems to be to require a ship per to unload a car promptly or pay 15 per day ; demurrage. And : on the other hand require the railroad ; to furnish and move a car ' promptly or pay 5 , per day for demurrage. . . '. '-":. t- ' The following U a circular ; letter sent out accompanying this bill: ; f -Dear 8lr: ,. As directed by the vote of tha Lum ber Exchange, we, the undersigned committee, enclose herewith a copy of a proposed act which this Legisla ture will be asked to enact, relative to reciprocal demurrage charges. Should the bill fall to pass,; It is proposed that authority be given the corpora tion commission to amend its present rules and enforce, the rules submitted herewith. '"' '"": "You will note first, that a penalty of $8.00 Is provided for failure of shipper or consignee to toad or un load cars promptly and a like penalty for failure of the railroad com panies to furnish cars, or move them with reasonable promptness, etc., and second, that said penalties are to be Instantly payable or collectable at the station where the business Is handled. At present the railroads demand and collect their demurrage and it Is right that shippers should be able to do the same without delay on the part of the railroad. "The charge of $1.00 per day un der present rules Is not a penalty and does hot oerve its purpose that of keeping cars moving. It is a well known fact that cars are often held for storage purposes to the delay of traffic In general until several thous and cars have been Idle on a charge of $1.00 per day. Railroad officials admit this to be a fact. "You are requested to send this copy of the proposed act to your Rep resentative in the Legislature at once, with a strong letter endorsing same. We take It for granted that you will endorse this proposed act, for you have no doubt suffered like ourselves and will heartily support this reason able and equitable bill which' our members feel will go a long way to ward remedying the Intolerable freight service under which all are and have been suffering. "You are also requested to send our exchange a copy of your letter, to gether with any changes or additions you would suggest in the bill, that we may have all possible Information for the use of a committee we propose to send to Kaleigh in the Interest of this act. "Additional copies furnished on re quest. "We trust you will take Immediate and continual action in this matter, for In this way only Can the desired results be obtained. (Signed) "J. M. BURNS, "C. H. HOBBS, "W. B. M'EWEN, "Committee." A copy of the bill and letter are be ing sent to business men In the State, soliciting support of the bill before the LegiHlature.
