Hearings were conducted in Chi
cago In November 1918, L. S. Mcln
tyre, Traffic Manager of the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association rep
resenting tho West Coast shippers. It
was tho contention of the lumbermen
nt tho hearing that:
1. Lumber by it physical char
acter Is not susceptible to cubic load
ing. .2. Tho cubic mlnema basis result
in unjust discrimination against the
territory In which It is applied and
unduly prefers other producing ter
ritories. 3. The cubic minima basis results
In discrimination between shippers in
tho territory In which It Is applied.
4. Tho present rules governing
the application of the cubic minima
basis are Impracticable and result In
discrimination and lnjustlco and are
too complicated to be understood by
tho shippers or the representatives-of
the railroad.
5. It Is Impossible to devise rules
governing cubical minima that would
bo fair or practicable.
G. Cubical minima has caused
formal and Informal complaints, con
stant friction between shippers and
carriers as well as innumerable
claims for alleged ovorcharge.
The investigation developed the
fact that lumber was the only com
modity to which tho cubical carload
minima theory Is now applied. It was
tho contention of the lumbermen at
tho hearing that Inasmuch as lumber
Is loaded In varying lengths, widths,
thickness, etc., that it is Incapable
of loading to cubic measure. It was
pointed out that nearly 50 percent
of tho cars actually furnished in this
territory woro thoso which the shlp
pors wero prohibited by tho tariffs of
tho carriers from ordering. It was al
so pointed out that shippers could not
correctly dotormlno tho exact sizo ofj' gT op gcrtAMEXTO
