New Document Will Go Into Effect Throughout the Country on Nov. i. When a monument was erected to the memory of John A. Mackay, president of the Commercial Cable Co., and a well-known capitalist, at Reno, Nev., Col. George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, and other publications, delivered the dedicatory address. Clarence Mackay, a son, replied to the eulogium, and to preserve this speech in its natural force and vigor, he repeated the address in the laboratory of the Columbia Phonograph Co, New York, recently, the recording being done by Victor H. Emerson, the manager. The records are for private circulation only, and chiefly among the family and intimate friends of the elder Mackay. NEW VICTOR CO. POWER PLANT. One of the Best Equipped in South Jersey Say Engineers. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Camden, N. J., Sept. 30, 1908. The $25,000 stack of the Victor Talking Machine Co., near Second and Cooper streets, is completed, and is 265 feet in height, being the highest in South Jersey. All the machinery to furnish power for the entire plant will be located some distance below the street level in the new store at the corner of Second and Cooper streets, and the new power plant is declared by engineers who have inspected it to be one of the best in point of construction and equipment in the State. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Chicago, Oct. 5, 1908. ITpon the recommendation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which was made after public hearing upon the matter, at which all interests were afforded an opporttinity to be heard, the carriers will, on November 1, 1908, adopt a new uniform bill of lading combined with a new shipping order. This combined bill of lading and shipping order was prepared by a representative committee of shippers and carriers after many conferences with banking and other interests. . On and after November 1 the shipper may have the option of shipping property either subject to the terms and conditions of the uniform bill of lading or under the liability imposed upon common carriers by the common law and the Federal and State statutes applicable thereto. If the shipper elects to ship und'er the terms and conditions of the unif.orm bill of lading and shipping orders, the rate provided in the ofhcial classification and tariffs will apply. If the chipper elects not to accept the conditions of the new uniform bill of lading and shipping order, the property so carried will be at carrier's liability, limited only as provided by common law and by the laws of the United States and of the several States in so far as they apply, but subject to the terms and conditions of the uniform bill of lading in so far as they are not inconsistent with such common carriers' liability, and the charge therefor will be 10 per cent, higher (subject to a minimum increase of 1 per cent, per 100 lbs. than the rate charged for property shipped) to all the terms and conditions of the uniform bill of lading and shipping order.
