WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Commerce Commission
Makes Rule on Dynamite
Washington, D. C., June 13.—The
Interstate Commerce Commission's
order, permitting the transportation
of explosives by express train or in
express cars in passenger trains, was
amended l- yesterday to restrict such
shipments to emergency require
ments of the army or navy- The
amended order requires that a decla
ration be filed in writing with the
express company from the senior of
ficer at a military or naval head
quarters, declaring that an emer
gency exists which requires the quick
transportation of the explosives in
question.
Express agents are required to for
ward the declarations to the chief
inspector of the Bureau of Explosives
in New York, "whose duty it will be
to co-operate with the War and
Navy Departments to prevent any
abuse of this permission by an un
necessary resort to transportation of
dangerous explosives by express."
Cars containing explosives trans
ported by express, the Commission
held, need not be placarded, but
train and express employes must be
advised of the presence and location
of such cars in the train.
