l.C.C. Concels Free Time On Lumber Shipments

The Interstate Commerce Commission, Division 2, by a report and order in I. and S., Docket No. 7050 (Lumber free-time allowance at hold points) has ordered canceled the schedules of certain Western district railroads which provide 15 days of holding time free of demurrage charges forcars of lumber in transit stopped at certain points in 'Western Trunk Line Territory, and also providing one free diversion. The present free time is 24 hours; after this time, demurrage charges are applied.

The proposed schedules of 15 days' free time would save the in-transit dealers a maximum of $96 demurrage ($4 per day for the first four days after free time, and $8 per day thereafter), it was reported by Executive Vice-President Orrie W. Hamilton of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. in his August 21 bulletin to the SCRLA members.

The Division ordered the respondent railroads to cancel

the schedules on or before September 8. The division said that the protestants, and the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn., the Forest Products division of the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp., the Commission's Bureau of Inquiry and Compliance, and 14 firm-order lumber companies located in Mountain Pacific territory, presented evidence in opposition to the proposed schedules.

Several "in-transit" lumber dealers (jobbers or brokers who ship lumber before they have a buyer) appeared in support of the respondents. The respondent railroads argued that the 15 days' free time is necessary to meet competition of the Canadian railroads.

The Division concluded that "the proposed schedules would encourage undue detention of cars at a time when there is a shortage of cars on the railroads generally; would provide for service beyond the primafy duties of railroads under linehaul rates; would open the door to like demands from shippers of other commodities similarly circumstanced; and would contravene the national transportation policy to promote adequate, economical and efficient service and foster sound economic conditions."
