X. it?ti<: AcC ? Fraternal GraetlUK*?Ad? ilrrkN oj Welcome miU- Bc?|?ou?<? Typo Writers Dls?u*s?d~A Vult i<> ? I n n> |i i n ii KoimI?. The second day's session of the Na? tional Association of Local Freight Agents Associations was a busy one. A number of tuples assigned to different cities were discussed and acted upon.' Besides there discussions the reports Of two important committees were pre? sented. At the Cincinnati convention hist year Secretary Bondholts, of New York, read a paper on the Identification of bills of lading by the help of the banks through which they pass. The ground was taken that the banks should he required to stamp or endorse all bills of lading which pass through them, by th.s means saving tho railroads the gn at r> - sponslblllty and extra risk of passing upon bills of lading unstamped. This question was of such paramount Importance to the roads that the asso < iatlon decided to have a committee lake up tho question and report at this meal Ing. This committee repoi ted ye.-? lerday In favor of securing ihe aid of the banks as suggested. The committee was continued with instructions to as? certain what could be done along this line. THE T. T. P.OND ACT. What Is known as tho I. T. Bond Committee reported the successful pas? sage through Congress of an amend? ment to the I. T. Bond Act, by which freight can be transported from a sea? port city lo an interior Intermediate transportation pott, without traveling under Government locks and seals, ns heretofore, the amendment allowing the carriers. If the package is corded and sealed, to be forwarded virtually the same as free freight, by will? b privi? lege receivers of bonded freight at an Interior point can take ndvantage the act. which prior to the amendment had never been granted to them, except where forwarded In carload lots, a sit? uation that for nineteen years scarcely ever occurred, then.' not being a quan? tity sufficient at any one time to so consolidate. FRATERNAL GREETINGS. On motion of Mr. Lot Brown, of Chi? cago, fraternal greetings were extended to the Master Car Builders and Mas? ter Mechanics at Old Point. Letters were received from Mr. Frank S. Gannon, third vice president and general manager of trie Southern Rail? way; Mr. William H. White, vice presi? dent and general counsel of the Nor? folk. Virginia Beach and Southern rail? way, and Mr. J. c. Whitney, traffic manager of tho Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company, In which each expressed his regret at not being able to be present and deliver the address expected from him. VISIT BOARD OF TRADE. At 12::i0 o'clock, as per program, the convention adjourned to visit the Board of Trade and Business Men's Associa? tion. Mr. R. Henry Jones, president, greeted and welcomed the members In tin- following speech: "Mr. President nnd Gentlemen of the National Association of Local Freight Agents' Association: it's my privilege nnd pleasure as representative of the Hoard of Trade and Ituslness Men's Association to extend to you a hearty welcome to these rooms. We nre glad glad that Norfolk's position In the mer? cantile world justifies you In making this spot your rendezvous; glad tit.it you have come, that you may go back to your homes and speak of Norfolk's many advantages, thereby advertising her growth and prosperity; glad that you have ; .one, that you may cultivate a mote intimate business acquaintance and relationship. "Knowing that railroads are essential to the growth, prosperity and welfare of the country: also knowing that the railroads are sustained and supported by the country throuh which they pass: each then Is essentially depend? ent one on the other, hcnc.e there should exist at all times, between the railroad ?nnd the people, a most cordial, Inti? mate and co-operative relationship. "The dealer, merchant or manufac? turer sells the goods; the railroad makes the delivery, thus forming a co? partnership; one depending on the other, both naturally deriving benefit. Prosperity to one means a similar con? dition to the other. Ruslncss friendships should be fostered and antagonism j should not exist. I "It's equally as wrong for a railroad to refuse to settle a Just and equitable claim as it Is for a merchant to under? bill a carload shipment. It's equally as wrong for the merchant to "roll" a rail? road when opportunity offers as it Is for the rallro.nl 'to put the thing to us" on non-competltlve point shipments. All seems wrong from an honest stand? point; yet In a few eases It Is done. I never could grasp the assertion "that it's no harm to beat a railroad.' Hap? pily these cases are few, but few as they may be, either in railroad or dealer, should be discouraged and dis? countenanced. "Fair dealing, co-operation, mutual reciprocity, should be our motto. Nor? folk's Board of Trade and Business Men's .Association can well be said to set the example In this direction, nnd we are on record to this effect. All rail? road men of prominence here are num? bered among our members. On our Board of Directors, as well as in our Executive Committee, we have promi? nent railroad men, while even our Grievance and Trade Abuse commit? tees number among its members a general superintendent of a railroad. He^ is there to protect his interests, ns well as that of the receiver or shipper. He Is there to explain why railroads nt tlnifs take apparently arbitrary posi? tions. He Is there to show at times that the railroads' discriminations are but imaginary. We here Jn these rooms commingle. "We talk over together our differences, and, as a rule, amicably settle or adjust them without resort to courts of Justice. '?1 know that I but echo the wish when 1 Bay that I sincerely hope that this condition of affairs will continue to grow anil develop until there shall ex? ist between the railroad and its patrons absolute equity and confidence, "and then will come ti>e millennium.' "Again extending you a welcome, we wish you a profitable and pleasant time while here." MR. BEIGLER'S RESPONSE. Mr. E. E. Zelgler, of Pittsburgh a member of the Executive Committee of Hie association, responded to President Jones' address. The local freight UgentB, be said, expected no promotion, lie very graciously thanked Mr- E. T Lamb, the chairman of the arrange ::u nta committee, and through him lite I people of Norfolk for the many atten? tions shown the association's mem? bers. Speaking of Norfolk, be predicted that tins will become soon the greatest entry uort of the United States, by reason of its grand harbor and its many ? nllroads. Refreshments were served by the Business Men's Association compli? mentary to th? railroad agents. TOPICS DlSCUSSKl >. After returning to the Academy of Music ball the topics assigned the dif? ferent cities were taken up for dis? cussion, i Boston's topic. "Station Discipline and Irs Application," was bandied by Mr. A. P. Laine, of that city, in an able paper. Tli.' next topic was Buffalo's?"What Constitutes Bulk Freight'.' "?and Mr. Ffiley, of Buffalo, rcud a paper on the subject. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session Buffalo's other topic. "On What Freight Should Agents Furnish Men to Shippers or Consigners to Help Loud or Unload?" was discussed by several members, and finally, on motion of Mr. Newton, of Fort Wayne, Ind., the association de? clared it the sense of that body that help should not be furnished by the road for the unloading of less than car load shipments. _ TYPEWRITERS DISCUSSED. The Chicago topic was: "Is it Practi? cable for the Railroad Companies to Adopt Typewriters for Making Way Mills and Freight Mills?" Mr. Lot Brown, of Chicago, read il paper on this tonic, in which be took the posi? tion that the typewriter was to take Ihe place of hand writing in freight ittices- It was both expeditious and more legible, he said. The typewriter manufacturers have of late adapted machines specially for railroad work, and these are very handy and practi? cable. Mr. Brown said his road bought the machines and sold them to the em? ployes at cost on the installment plan. President Malcolm Townsend also read a paper setting forth the merits of the specially adapted freight olllce typewriters. Others made remarks on the subject, showing the association generally to favor the further Introduc? tion of these machines into the railroad olliccs. Mr. Loomis, of I?uisville, made a motion that each of the four or five typewriter companies represented here be allowed ten minutes to expluin the merits of their machine to the con? vention. Mr. Martin, of Minneapolis, spoke against this motion, lie didn't like the idea of allowing agents to advertise their respective machines in the con? vention. The:- could do this at the hotels, as they had been doing, he said. Mr. Brown, of Chicago, thought the typewriter men should be given a chance t<> instruct the railroad men in the advantages of machines in a gene? ral way. The convention, on a vote, decided ndt to hear the typewriter agents. On motion of Mr. Martin, of Minnea? polis, the convention expressed the opinion that typewriters were practica? ble for making way bills, freight bills, etc. TO PREVENT DELAY. The Cincinnati topic was next taken up. It was. "The Best Method of Pre venting Delay at Junction Points Caused by Lack of Sufficient Prepay? ment or Guarantee." A paper was read on this topic by Mr. W. W- Alexander, of Cincinnati, who told of the great evil of roads starting freight on Its way, to go over several roads, without sutlu ient guarantee ?T" payment of freight. The paper was, after a full discus? sion, referred to the conference com? mittee for some action. Among those who spoke on the topic were: Messrs. Metzgor, of Cincinnati; Martin, of Minneapolis; Adams, of St. Louis; Lutz, of Evansvllle, and Rotor, of Springfield. U NI FORM C1/ASS1FICATION. The Fort Wayne tonic, "Uniform Classification." was treated In u paper by Mr. C. H. Newton, agent of the Wabash at Ft. Wayne. Ind. Mr. New? ton thought the bill recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commission In is;>7 to Congress for securing a uni? form classification was possibly the best plan to secure tho desired end. Mr. Wi H. Humpas, agent, of the Louisville and Nashville, at Nashville, spoke for a uniform classification and moved that Mr Newton's paper be re? ceived and It go on record that it was the sense of the convention that unL furtr classification was desirable. The next on the program was the Joiict topic: "Duty and Responsibility Of Agent to Secure Release of Cars W;iere the Only Revenue to Hi3 Com? pany is a Switching Change." This paper was read by W. C. Toms. The convention then adjourned to meet this morning at 8:30 o'clock. THEY SEE HAMPTON ROADS. At S o'clock the members of the as? sociation nnd the ladies accompanying them boarded the Pocahontas and took a trip through Hampton Roads to the I Capes, returning at about 11:30 o'clock.
