Badges and Sooms. 



Badges with the name of the wearer 

 are being provided again this year and 

 will also bear the number of the firm 

 which the wearer represents. With the 

 announcements were sent out cards 

 which the members of the association 

 are urged to fill out and return to the 

 secretary, C. E. Kendel, 216 Prospect 

 avenue, Cleveland, O., before June 10, 

 indicating who expects to attend. Those 

 who plan to be present are also advised 

 to make their hotel reservations early. 

 The rates at the Hotel Pfister are as 

 follows: Single room, without bath, 

 $2.50 to $3.50; with bath, $3 to $7. 

 Double room, without bath, $3.50 to 

 $4.50; with bath, $4 to $8. For each 

 additional person in a room, the charge 

 is $1 in addition. 



PROPOSED FREIGHT CHANGES. 



Hearings are being held at Chicago 

 before the consolidated classification 

 committee in regard to certain proposed 

 changes, on which hearings have al- 

 ready been held in New York and New 

 Orleans. A number of the proposed 

 changes have had consideration by 

 members of the seed trade from the 

 angles which affect them. 



A change in the rules is proposed 

 whereby the name not only of the con- 

 signee but also of the shipper must be 

 niarkf-d upon each package or bundle 

 (if freight. 



It is suggested also that a package 

 which weighs less than twenty pounds 

 will not be accepted at the rate shown 

 for such articles, but will be advanced 

 to one class higher than larger ship- 

 ments. In the present wording of the 

 rule only bales, boxes and crates are 

 mentioned, not bags, but it is thought 

 that they will also be included to make 

 the rule inclusive. 



Shipments of beans in bags other 

 than what are termed standard railroad 

 bags will be advanced one class. The 

 bag specified measures when empty 

 191/2x35 inches and the contents must 

 not weigh more than 100 pounds. Since 

 it is customary to ship two bushels of 

 beans in the bags now used by the seed 

 trade, the weight of which is approxi-' 

 mai^ely 120 pounds, effort will be made 

 to have this bag included in the rail- 

 Toad rWndw^ bags, or else seed beans.
