While there are many in--tarn , s where freight is delayed from 10 to no days in nansmlssion. there sre no provisions for reimbursing the ihipper for the loss, he added He ask- that a rulinc he made compelling railroad companies to move cars a reaaoaiblw distance every day for the benefit of the shipper.
