Railroad Battles Over Egg Damage Settlements Allowing Losses
An egg receivers dispute in Chicago highlights railroad practices in settling egg damage claims. M P Rutledge sues Chicago and Great Western for four cars damaged last June, alleging salvage handled by the railroad was withheld and later sold for Rutledge’s account as a settlement instead of payment of invoice price. The case underscores railroads forcing receivers to bear transit losses. Wisconsin Cheese Market shows rising activity with Longhorns and Young Americas firming, prices up, and retailers expecting continued gains amid improving demand.
