THE O THER SIDE OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT

Fvpfv warm spell this season has bee ”SpSle V heavy tarn hogs in transit and claims are P 11 '"? up in consequence. Cool averted what would have been:a ca lamity, as the hogs are heavy and succumb readily. that even the usual / for sprinkling hogs at division points are not provided this year and that much of the-loss that has occurred was avoidable. Since transportation lines passed out of private control service has deteriorated and as it is the policy of the railroad administration not to allow claims owing to failure to make the market or for shrinkage, many suits are threatened. The federal control act contemplates that suits may be brought as heretofore, but provides that executions may not be levied on the property of the carrier while in possession of the government. Shippers expected that an increase in freight rates implied that their experience has been the reverse. Poor service and higher rates will have the effect of forcing shippers to take the short route to market. —.Breeders Gazette.
