[Gutenberg 60134] • Lumber Legal Opinions

Excerpt from Lumber Legal Opinions

This Bureau also investigates and collects claims for loss or damage in transit, overcharges in rates, weight, misrouting, etc. For these services a nominal charge is made based on the actual amount collected. The manager of this Bureau has had years of experience and possesses intimate knowledge of the methods pur sued by the various claim departments of the railroads and he is therefore in a position promptly to collect any just claims and ire quently has been able to collect claims which our members have been unable to collect themselves. In this connection it may be well to state that all shippers of lumber are entitled to free allowances in weight of five hundred pounds for car stakes used on flat and gondola cars, and this Bureau has secured many refunds on past ship ments for members who have not been allowed this free weight.
