y careful record of returnedsack shipments, reports that for the first six-months of this year, 34.1 per cent, of the bundlesreceived were not bound in accordance with theabove rule; that 20.95 per cent, were tied withtwine less than 3-16thinch; that 10.81 per cent,were tied with less than three wire or rope ties;that 1.57 per cent, had other than linen tags;that 3.18 per cent, had no tags (these probablystarted with other than linen tags, which cameoff enroute) and that 3.57 per cent, were notprepaid. The responsibility of accepting these ship-ments in violation of the specific note of theclassification, lies directly with the railroadagent, and sometim^es claims result, whichcould have been avoided.
