Synopsis

Scope And Methods Of The Statistical Reporting Service by The Service. This volume collects a wide range of legal decisions and commentary relating to car service, demurrage, liens, and the administration of car service rules across multiple states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It documents how railroad companies, car service associations, and shippers navigated issues such as reasonable unloading times, per-car per-day charges, storage on cars versus warehouses, and the existence and priority of liens for charges. The volume shows a developing public policy that promotes efficient movement of freight and prevents car famines by enabling standardized, enforceable rules across networks. It includes landmark rulings from Massachusetts, Georgia, Kentucky, Iowa, Missouri, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and elsewhere, with discussion of cases like Miller V. Mansfield, Kentucky Wagon Mfg. Co. V. Louisville & Nashville, Fuller & Fuller, and numerous others that shaped the balance of power among carriers, consignors, and consignees.
