A. O. A. OVERCHARGE AND AGENCY RELIEF CLAIM RULES The following rules, relating to overcharge and agency relief claims, are mandatory and binding upon carriers operating in North America that are members of the Rail- way Accounting Officers Association : APPLICATION A-l. These rules and definitions shall apply in the set- tlement of all interline claims between carriers arising from overcharge and agency relief claims in connection with transportation and delivery of freight, except, (a) When in conflict with any Federal or State law or any ruling or order of any regulating body exercising lawful authority. (b) On claims which carriers may have settled or declined prior to becoming members of the Associa- tion, or which members of the Association may have declined to interested carriers before such carriers be- came members of the Association, provided that this restriction will not apply to carriers that become mem- bers of the Association up to May 12, 1920. DEFINITIONS Wherever used in these rules, the meaning of the follow- ing terms shall be as set forth herein, unless otherwise specifically stated : D-l. "Carrier:" Any common carrier, including rail- road, steamship (all rail or rail and water), transfer or other transportation company. D-2. "Initial Carrier:" The carrier receiving freight from consignor at original shipping point. R. A. XX A. Overcharge Claim Forms are shown on pages 49 to 59 of this pamphlet. *11 12 R.'A. O. A.

"Receiving Carrier :" The carrier receiving freight from connecting carrier at junction point. D-5. "Destination Carrier:" The carrier delivering freight to consignee at destination. D-6. "Switching Carrier:" A carrier whose service in connection with a given shipment is confined to the handling of the car containing such shipment between con- necting carriers, or between a connecting carrier and an industry, private siding or public yard, the service so per- formed being entirely within a recognized switching district. D-7. "Paying Carrier:" The carrier paying claim to claimant. D-8. "Contributory Negligence :" Want of diligence in any degree, in the use of means to remedy an error made by any other carrier. D-9.

OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 13 ing after deducting the amount realized from sale of freight from aggregate amount of lawful charges (including stor- age, demurrage, and accessorial charges) assessed against a shipment when the shipper, consignee, or owner of the goods from whom the amount is due is shown to be judg- ment proof, insolvent, or cannot be located, or when coun- sel representing carrier charged with the responsibility for collection renders an opinion in writing that the facts of record make it inadvisable to attempt to force collection through court proceedings. D-16. "Insolvent Carrier:" Any carrier declared by counsel for settling carrier, in writing, to be judgment proof. MISCELLANEOUS RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS M-l. Cash-Transmitting. Carrier sending money to an- other carrier does so entirely at its own risk. M-2. Claim Correspondence. It will not be permissible to allow claim correspondence to pass into possession of consignors, consignees, or claimants. M-3. Overcharges on Interline Billing should, so far as practicable, be settled through agents' accounts, and ad- justments made through interline freight correction accounts. M-4. Receipts for claim payments should be so worded as to cover the liability of all carriers participating in the haul. M-5. Uniform Blanks. Agents should be provided with standard forms for presentation of overcharge claims (R. A. O. A. Standard Form No. 300) as provided for in rule No. 1, also forms for furnishing statement of billing on claims. M-6. Uniform Blanks. Statements of billing, exception reports, etc., should not be wider than 8^2 inches. M-7. Demurrage or Storage refunded under legal lia- bility or when uncollectible owing to negligence in trans- portation, shall be charged to liable carrier or carriers 14 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES in the event the carrier assessing such charges will not vol- untarily waive the same. RULES 1. Presentation of Claims. Carriers should require claimants to present overcharge claims on the standard form approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission (R. A. O. A. Standard Form No. 300) to either initial or destination carrier, in accordance with established prac- tices, for investigation and settlement. When claims are presented to intermediate carriers they shall be sent to destination carriers for settlement and claimant so in- formed, except claims in connection with transit arrange- ments, which shall be handled by the carriers granting such privileges. The initial or destination carrier to which a claim is presented or the destination carrier to which a claim is transmitted by an intermediate carrier or the car- rier giving transit privilege to which a claim is presented or transmitted by other carriers shall investigate and settle in accordance with these rules. Provided, however, if a claim for demurrage or miscel- laneous charges is presented by the claimant to an inter- mediate carrier by which the charges were assessed, such intermediate carrier shall make investigation and settle- ment. 2. When Documents Missing. The absence of the documents required by the standard form for presentation of overcharge claims, shall be explained on a memorandum to be attached to the papers pertaining to the claim under consideration; and, further, when the original paid freight bill or bill of lading if required, does not accompany afore- said papers the carrier investigating and paying the claim shall indemnify other carriers against loss due to payment of duplicate claim supported by such original documents. ARRANGEMENT OF CLAIM PAPERS 3. Wrappers. Carrier against which claim is made shall place its claim back on papers, which shall not be de- R. A. 0. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 15 tached nor covered with other claim backs or papers, nor shall any writing or stamp thereon of said carrier be in- terfered with, in any way, by any other carrier. 4. Order of Papers. All investigation shall read up- ward from claim back in order of date: (a) No notation shall be made on back ,of papers ; (b) No notation or underlining of words shall be made by one carrier on another carrier's papers ; (c) Papers shall be fastened together by means of a paper fastener passing through entire file at upper left corner ; , (d) No paper shall be mutilated or taken off. If necessary for neatness, papers shall be folded in. 5. Carrier at Fault May Pay Direct. Carrier with which overcharge is located, but to which claim is not pre- sented by claimant, may pay claimant direct, so notifying carrier to which claimant presented claim. 6. Unauthorized Rate. Claim for alleged overcharge when supported by bill of lading or shipping receipt nam- ing a rate which is not a lawfully published tariff rate, shall be referred to the carrier whose agent made such un- authorized contract. 7. Overcharge Caused by Erroneous Rate. Claim for overcharge due to error in rate shall, when supported by the necessary evidence and by specific reference to pub- lished tariff lawfully applicable and in effect at the time of shipment, be investigated and promptly settled. 8. Overcharge in Weight. Claim for overcharge in weight when supported by necessary evidence shall be in- vestigated and settled on the basis of actual weight, sub- ject, however, to the prescribed minimum, estimated weight, or any other condition of the tariffs, or classifica- tion applicable. In case of dispute regarding weight in connection with a shipment reweighed at destination ac- cording to the rules and regulations of the carriers inter- ested, the actual weight, ascertained by the destination car- rier, or such scale or railway association weight as may be approved by the destination carrier, shall govern. The 16 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES purpose of this rule is to provide a basis whereby the desti- nation weights properly ascertained will be given the con- sideration warranted by experience and by the circum- stances in each case, and to provide a practical method of facilitating the adjustment of claims for overcharge in weight where there is a dispute or some doubt as to which of two or more weights is the correct weight. This rule will apply on all unsettled claims. 9. Overcharge Caused by Erroneous Classification. Claim for overcharge due to error in classification shall be investigated and settled when supported by bill of lading or shipping receipt, specific reference to the tariff or classi- fication lawfully applicable, original or a certified copy of invoice or delivering agent's certificate in lieu thereof, and by other necessary evidence. 10. Evidence of Collection. The carrier investigating and settling a claim on account of overcharge, may accept, as evidence of the amount collected, the original paid freight bill, or original bill of lading showing amount of prepayment and bearing receipt for payment. 11. Papers to Bear Evidence of Payment. When pay- ment of claim is made before interline investigation, evi- dence of such payment shall be clearly shown on bill of lading^ or shipping receipt, paid freight bill, bill of claimant, or invoice in the claim papers. 12. Direct Investigation. The investigating carrier shall communicate directly with agents or other proper rep- resentatives of interested carriers whenever practicable and whenever railway mail service cannot be used, return post- age shall be enclosed. Inquiries should be addressed to accounting officer in charge of claims of the interested car- riers after failure to obtain information from the agents or other proper representatives or when necessary from the nature of the inquiry. When the agent or other proper representative of another carrier fails to furnish the specific information requested or to explain why he cannot do so within 20 days from date of inquiry, copy of inquiry with request for reply, shall be sent by express, registered mail R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 17 or messenger, to the proper accounting officer of the delin- quent carrier. When answer is not received within 30 days to such request, or to a direct inquiry to the proper accounting officer regarding a paid claim, the carrier in- vestigating and settling the claim may charge full amount of claim to the delinquent carrier, or if there are two or more delinquent carriers, then to the delinquent carrier nearest the investigating and settling carrier in direction of destination and shall forward all papers relating to the claims to such delinquent carrier who shall take the place of settling carrier and make further investigation and dis- tribution of the amount of the claim. 13. Statement of Overcharge. The carrier investigat- ing and settling an overcharge claim shall attach to the claim papers a statement showing how the overcharge is arrived at, with full reference to the I. C. C. tariffs and the amount due from each carrier interested. The rates and divisions and basis for claim shall be verified as far as prac- ticable before being sent by the carrier so investigating and settling to the other interested carriers. 14. Express Charges. Any carrier forwarding papers by express shall prepay express charges. 15. Relief of Agent's Account. When an agent collects from consignee the correct amount of freight and charges, and the same is less than the amount debited to his sta- tion account, and adjustment cannot be effected through interline correction account, he shall file claim for relief, which shall be investigated and apportioned between in- terested carriers; see Rules 19 and 28. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CLAIM PAPERS WHEN PASSED BETWEEN CARRIERS 16. Acknowledging Receipt of Claims. When a claim, except arbitrary debit under Rule 38, is received the first time from another carrier, it shall at once be acknowledged to carrier from which received, and such acknowledgment shall quote sending and receiving carrier's claim numbers. 18 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES Carriers shall quote each other's claim numbers in all claim correspondence, mail or telegraph. APPORTIONMENT OF CLAIMS FOR OVERCHARGE 17. Overcharge in Rate, Weight, or Classification. Claim for overcharge on account of error in rate, error in weight or error in classification, when investigated and settled in accordance with the provisions contained in Rules 6, 7, 8 and 9, shall be charged to the carrier at fault. If more than one carrier is involved, the amount of the claim shall be apportioned on the basis of the agreed divisions, and all interested carriers shall be obligated to pay their proportions of the amount paid in settlement of the claim. Interest On Overcharge Claims. Whenever interest is paid in settlement of a claim for overcharge on an inter- line shipment, such interest shall be apportioned on the same basis as the overcharge. 18. Overcharge Caused by Misrouting. Claim for overcharge resulting from improper routing due to error of an agent or other employee, shall be borne by the car- rier employing the person at fault. The minimum debit Rule 42 shall not apply in such cases. This rule will ap- ply on all unsettled claims. See I. C. C. Conference Rul- ings Nos. 214, 286 and 474, or subsequent amendments thereto. 19. Overcharge Caused by Way billing Freight to Erroneous Destination, Unloading Short of, or Carrying Beyond Correct Destination or Stop-off Point. Claim for overcharge, resulting from error or oversight of an agent or employee, by which the shipment is billed to an erron- eous destination, or is unloaded short of destination, or is carried beyond correct destination or stop-off point, shall be borne by the carrier whose agent or employe com- mitted the error, except that when contributory negligence by other carrier or carriers is shown, the claim shall be di- vided equally between the carriers at fault. The carrier R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 19 or carriers performing the service shall accept proportion of the through or combination rate from point of origin to erroneous destination, based on established divisions, or, in the absence of same, revenue shall be divided on basis of mileage. For the movement from the erroneous to the correct destination, charges shall be assessed on the local, through, or combination rates, as per lawfully published tariffs. Carrier or carriers receiving revenue for two hauls on such shipments, shall refund revenue (based on estab- lished divisions, or mileage basis, in absence of same) on the return haul to the point at which shipment is placed in its proper route to correct destination, regardless of the route which carrier may select for the return movement. This rule will apply on all unsettled claims. See I. C. C. Conference Ruling 217, or subsequent amendments thereto. 20. Question of Veracity. When question affecting settlement of an overcharge claim between two or more carriers becomes one of veracity between employees of car- riers, the claim, or such portion thereof as depends upon the question in dispute, shall be divided equally between such carriers. Changes made in car numbers, car initials or routing on telephone instructions will not be accepted as evidence in the settlement of dispute involving veracity unless confirmed in writing. 21. Terminal Charges. Terminal charges shall not be included in the amount of revenue used as a basis for ap- portionment of an overcharge claim. 22. Disputed Divisions. When a legal rate is protected by a carrier and it is unable to reclaim from its connec- tions, because of disputed divisions the paying carrier shall be relieved of the burden of adjusting the difference be- tween the carriers in interest to the extent and effect as follows : (a) When the rate protected is a through rate, the carrier that issued the bill of lading shall accept debit from the paying carrier for the amount of the over- charge which the latter is unable to reclaim on account of the dispute as to the divisions, and shall assume the 20 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES responsibility of adjusting the difference between the carriers in interest. (b) When the rate protected is constructed by combining two or more rates, one or more of them be- ing joint rates, the first carrier (in the direction from origin to destination) which is party to a joint rate the divisions of which are in dispute, shall accept debit from the paying carrier for the amount of the over- charge which the latter is unable to reclaim because of dispute as to the divisions of that rate and shall as- sume the responsibility of adjusting the difference be- tween carriers in interest. This rule will apply on all unsettled claims. . 23. Erroneous Rate Quotation. When a carrier in pro- cess of the investigation of an overcharge claim requests another carrier to quote a rate between local points on its line, and pays the claim on basis of that quotation, the car- rier making the quotation must honor the bill of the pay- ing carrier on the basis quoted, and in case it is found that the quotation was erroneous, must assume the expense of collecting back the amount necessary to place its charges on a legal tariff basis. This rule will apply on all unsettled claims. INVESTIGATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF CLAIMS FOR OVERCHARGE IN WEIGHT ON COAL AND COKE 24. Located Overcharge on Coal or Coke. Claims for overcharge on coal or coke, where such overcharge is lo- cated with a particular carrier or carriers, shall be charged to the carrier or carriers upon which the overcharge is located. (A) Unlocated Overcharge on Coal or Coke. Claims for ascertained overcharge on coal or coke, which overcharge is not located, shall be prorated on revenue, on basis of record weights to point where overcharge is discovered subject to paragraph B. R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 21 (B) Variation of Scale Weights. Claims pre- sented for overcharge on coal or coke where the only evidence of such overcharge is the variation in scale weights, shall be subjected to the following investi- gation : First : An ascertainment of the conditions and practices at each scale used as follows : (1) Type of scale and capacity. (2) Character of installation. (3) Standard of maintenance. (4) Frequency of testing. (5) Methods of weighing. (6) Was scale on which weight in question was obtained maintained, tested, and operated in accord- ance with the track scale specifications approved by the American Railroad Association? (7) Scale conditions as outlined in paragraph first. 1 to 6. (8) Type of car, i. e., box, gondola, solid bottom, drop bottom, or steel hopper. (9) Were weights affected, either immediately be- fore or immediately after weighing, by rain or snow? (10) Was car reconsigned en route? (11) Obtain official record of the last four tests of scale immediately preceding movement of shipment, including amount each section of scale was inaccurate in each test, and the time within which such four tests were made. (12) Did the reweighing include a third weighing as required by American Railroad Association Rules? (C) Scale Shown by Investigation to be Most Accurate Must be Given Preference. In event scale at destination or intermediate point is shown by this investigation to have produced the more nearly cor- rect weight, claims for overcharge shall be prorated on revenue among carriers participating in the over- charge, subject to tolerances, evaporation allowances, 22 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES and minimum weights, as provided in governing tariffs. (D) In the event scale at initial point is shown by this investigation to have produced the more nearly correct weight, the claim shall not be prorated, except by authority of the initial carrier. 25. Disputed Claims to be Submitted to Counsel. If any carrier should refuse to participate in the payment of such claims on the basis of revenue and record scale weights, the same shall be submitted by the investigating carrier to its counsel, and if such counsel should rule that suit if instituted thereon cannot be successfully defended, the papers shall be returned to the carrier or carriers that have refused to participate in the payment thereof, and in the event it or they shall still refuse to participate in the payment of such claim, and at the same time be unwilling to defend suit, if brought, such suit shall be defended by the carrier against which suit is brought, and if judgment is secured the carrier or carriers refusing to participate shall be charged not only with their prorata portion of the original claim, but in addition thereto with court costs and counsel fees, and also with any statutory penalty that may be assessed in said suit, provided it appears that the re- fusal of such carrier or carriers to participate in such claim resulted in said penalty being imposed. This rule will ap- ply regardless of the amount of claims, subject, however, to minimum debit rule No. 42. 26. Claim Papers to be Submitted to All Interested Car- riers Before Payment Not Subject to Arbitrary Debit. Claims for overcharge due to error in weight on coal or coke will not be subject to arbitrary debits, but shall, be- fore payment, be presented to all carriers participating in the haul. COLLECTION OF GUARANTEED CHARGES 27. Guaranteed Charges. When charges are guaran- teed, guaranteeing carrier shall be responsible for such charges when the destination carrier, having used reason- able precautions in effecting delivery, is unable to collect; R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 23 provided, that request of protection of guarantee shall be made within sixty days after arrival of freight through connections or direct. In the case of perishable freight, if destination carrier cannot deliver and collect charges, guaranteeing carrier shall at once be asked direct or through waybilling station for disposition of freight, which shall be held, when practicable, for such advice. When freight is refused for loss or damage located, with carrier, guarantee shall be void. Provisions with respect to mini- mum debits (Rule 42) shall not apply to this rule. DISPOSITION OF DEFICITS ARISING FROM UNCOLLECTIBLE FREIGHT CHARGES 28. Sale of Unclaimed or Refused Freight for Charges. Uncollectible deficits in charges against freight which is unclaimed or refused when the result of negligence of one or more carriers in the line shall be charged to the carrier or carriers at fault on basis of mileage unless a water car- rier is involved, in which event it shall prorate between carriers at fault on basis of revenue. When not the result of negligence of the carriers, the deficit shall be prorated on revenue by all carriers interested. Terminal transpor- tation charges, demurrage, storage and transportation arbi- traries shall be included in determining revenue of car- riers; provided, however, that freight vvhich accumulates in warehouses and is periodically sold shall be disposed of without reference to other carriers and any loss in charges on such freight shall be borne by the carrier selling. The provisions of this rule shall also apply when the destination carrier takes the unclaimed or refused freight for company's use. The distribution statement of claim covering any uncollectible amount prorated under this rule must bear affirmative declaration of carrier making distri- bution that the amount is uncollectible by reason of condi- tions set forth in Rule D-15. 29. Charges on Freight Sent Elsewhere for Sale, If necessary to forward carload freight to another point to be sold, the carrier performing such service is entitled to 24 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES the tariff rate and charges lawfully applicable thereto ; and in determining the total uncollectible deficit to be pro- rated; the carrier is entitled to include the amount so charged. 30. Showing Miscellaneous Advances on Waybills. Where there are charges such as demurrage, switching, duty, and entry fees, or any other charges that are in addi- tion to the rate, it is the duty of each carrier to show such charges in detail and separately from the regular revenue, and the agent's failure to do so will make his company re- sponsible for the non-collection of same when uncollectible within the rulings of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion (See Ruling M-7). 31. Responsibility for Collection of Charges. While accepting the' principle that the destination carrier shall assume the duty of collecting all tariff charges, this will not relieve the initial or intermediate carriers from respon- sibility for their errors that are impossible of detection by the destination carrier. While recognizing the difficulty of enumerating all of the various classes of undercharges, the following are some of the losses which should not be borne by the destination carrier : (a) Miscellaneous charges for switching, demur- rage, storage, icing or feeding, detention or stop-off charges, etc., omitted from billing and not a part of or included in the through rate. (b) Undercharges due to error in rates published in tariffs to which destination carrier is not a party. (c) Undercharges due to failure to collect tariff charges on shipments destined to prepaid or non- agency stations. (d) Undercharges due to the insertion of incorrect rates in export bills of lading issued by initial or in- termediate carrier. (e) Charges waybilled as prepaid, subsequently changed by correction to collect. (f) Demurrage charges, etc., accruing at point of origin and not noted on bills of lading. K. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 25 (g) Undercharges due to failure of weighing car- rier to state correct gross carload weight on waybills when charges are collectible on track scale or ship- pers' agreement weights. 32. Destination Carrier to Receive Assistance From Other Carriers in Collecting or Refunding. Destination carrier shall receive all possible assistance from initial or intermediate carriers in its efforts to make collections or refunds.* 33. Disposition of Amounts Not Chargeable to Desti- nation Carrier. The destination carrier shall, in the in- terest of all concerned, use all diligence to determine and collect the correct charges and shall make a demand in writing on the consignee or consignor, or both, if neces- sary, for charges which are uncollected, owing to error of another carrier and which are undiscoverable by the destination carrier. After two unanswered demands in writing for payment, or after a direct refusal of the debtor to pay, the carrier in error shall without further action on the part of the destination carrier, accept debit for the uncollected tariff charges or shall authorize the destination carrier at the expense and for the account of the carrier in error, to bring suit for the recovery of these charges. Guaranteeing Additional Prepayment of Freight at Junction Points 34. Shipments Destined to Agency Stations Requiring Prepayment. When freight destined to an agency station upon which charges should be fully prepaid or guaranteed, in accordance with tariff, is tendered connecting carrier and it develops that such prepaid charges are insufficient to carry shipment to destination, the carrier tendering shall authorize its junction agent to guarantee to the connect- ing carrier a sufficient amount to carry the shipment to destination. Delivery to a connection of such a shipment for an agency station constitutes a guarantee to the re- 26 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES ceiving carrier of a sufficient amount to transport the ship- ment to destination, a specific guarantee on the billing not being required for each case. The destination agent shall exercise due diligence and employ all means at his com- mand to collect amount due from consignee; but if unable to do so, the deficit shall be adjusted on its merits, the mini- mum debit rule No. 42 not to apply in such cases. The re- ceiving carrier, however, should not return such shipments to the delivering carrier for additional prepayment. The provisions of this rule shall riot apply to additional prepayment covering extra weight on freight resulting from weighing in transit and found to exceed the weight as originally billed, or to freight inspected resulting in in- creased rating and charges. 35. Shipments Destined to Non-agency Stations. When a shipment destined to a non-agency station is billed collect or insufficiently prepaid, it shall be accepted from connecting carrier and forwarded to destination. The des- tination carrier shall make reasonable effort to collect the amount due, but if unsuccessful, may upon its statement that it is unable to collect, correct the waybill to read fully "Prepaid" if the shipment is waybilled through from point of origin to destination. When rebilled enroute the final adjustment shall be made through claim channels, the mini- mum debit Rule No. 42 not to apply in such cases. In either case the adjustment made shall maintain the in- tegrity of the lawful rate. When re-billed en route, settle- ments under this rule shall be made under Rule $o. 38, all papers to accompany debit. FORWARDING SHIPMENTS BILLED SHORT OF DESTINATION 36. Shipments Waybilled Short of Destination. When a shipment has been billed in error to a point short of the proper destination, such shipment shall be forwarded and charges collected at the lawful tariff rate from point of origin to correct destination applicable via the route ship- ment moved. R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 27 FAILURE TO OBSERVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIVERSION 37. Failure to Accomplish Diversion. When in accord- ance with the conditions of the tariffs lawfully applicable, a carrier is requested to divert a shipment, and, through negligence or error of a carrier the diversion is not accom- plished, the carrier responsible for the negligence or error shall be 'wholly responsible for any lawful overcharge re- sulting, subject to Rule 19. This rule will apply on all un- settled claims. INTERLINE SETTLEMENT AFTER INVESTIGATION AND PAYMENT 38. Distribution Statements. When the investigation in connection with a claim is complete and the responsibil- ity therefor is located, the carrier by which the claim has been investigated shall apportion the amount in accord- ance with the foregoing rules. Such carrier shall also pre- pare and forward to each interested carrier a distribution statement for each claim, showing billing reference over all interested carriers, claim numbers when known, the amount charged to each, the route over which shipment moved, and when necessary the through rate and divisions via such route and tariff authority, with I. C. C. numbers. Provided that no carrier shall be penalized for any over- charge, unless it has been given the opportunity to de- velop the fact pertaining thereto prior to the time pre- scribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission for the destruction of records. This rule will apply on all un- settled claims. 39. Disposition of Papers. When the amount of any claim is divisible between carriers and does not exceed $20.00, the claim papers shall be retained by the settling carrier, except claims coming under Rule 50. When the total amount paid is not proratable or is more than $20.00, and only one other carrier is interested, statement and claim papers shall be sent to it, but if two or more other 28 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES carriers are interested original statement and claim papers shall be sent to the carrier most distant, and a copy of the statement showing disposition of claim papers to each other carrier interested. Non-members. When paying carrier is an intermediate carrier, claim papers shall be sent to last interested carrier in the direction of destination. When a non-member car- rier is interested in any unsettled claim, settling carrier may charge out to members their proper proportions un- der the rules, retaining papers with whick to negotiate with the non-member as to settlement of its proportion. Any interested carrier shall have the right to obtain papers from carrier with which they are filed. See Rule 49. 40. Recharge of Disputed Amounts. /Abstracts must be accepted as rendered when accompanied by claim papers or distribution statement. Under no circumstances may items be cut out of abstracts except as provided in this rule. When amount charged in accordance with Rule 38 is for any valid reason unsatisfactory, to debited carrier, it may be recharged to paying carrier on monthly statement within one year from date of statement in which charge is included, except that when charge is made under Rule 12, the delinquent carrier shall not have the privilege of re- charging without authority. No recharge shall exceed the original amount charged, nor shall any correction be re- quired for less than One Dollar ($1.00). No recharge shall be made except over personal signa- ture of the claim officer, or when authority for other signa- ture is stamped on recharge statement. The objecting car- rier shall notify all interested carriers and shall not again be charged until it so authorizes or claim is arbitrated. Nothing in this rule shall make it obligatory upon any car- rier to accept a distribution statement covering any claim for an amount over One Hundred Dollars ($100) in which investigation does not clearly show that such carrier is in- terested, or to accept a draft covering such distribution statement. When items for over One Hundred Dollars R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 29 ($100) are eliminated from abstract, notice must be given immediately by telegram or letter. 41. Claims Less Than $1.00. Claims for less than one dollar shall not be consolidated to make an amount over the minimum (one dollar), but shall be paid and absorbed by the settling carrier; provided shipment moved over its lines, but agents may include in one monthly claim for re- lief any number of shipments originating on the same road and traveling via the same route. 42. Minimum Debits. No charge shall be made by the carrier settling the claim against another carrier when the entire proportion beyond the settling carrier is less than $1.00, except as provided in Rules 18 (overcharge due to misrouting through error of carrier), 27 (collection of guaranteed charges), 34 and 35 (adjustment of charges on freight insufficiently prepaid). (a) When a non-member line is involved, mini- mum debit rule shall apply between member lines. (b) In computing minimum a fraction of one-half cent or over shall be regarded as one cent. (c) When authority is given on the claim papers, the following will govern as to the minimum (subject to the exceptions stated in this Rule), paying carrier being considered as the first carrier. (d) When two carriers are involved, the second carrier shall not issue authority for any amount less than one dollar. (e) When three or more carriers are involved, in- termediate carrier shall issue its authority for any amount less than one dollar when the entire proportion of succeeding carrier or carriers is one dollar or more. (f) When last carrier's proportion is less than one dollar, next preceding intermediate carrier shall issue authority for its own proportion and that of the last carrier if the two aggregate one dollar or more. 43. Correction Minimum. No correction shall be re- quired in a bill rendered or authority issued for any clerical error less than one dollar ($1.00). 30 R. A. 0. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 44. First Carrier Beyond Gateway or Rate Prorating Point to Give Divisions of Revenue for Overcharge Claims. When an overcharge is clearly located with a group of two or more connecting carriers beyond a common gateway, crossing, or rate-breaking point, it shall be the duty of the first carrier beyond the gateway to furnish the paying car- rier a statement which will clearly set forth the correct di- visions to be applied and the proportions that were allowed the interested carriers in interline settlement, and unless such information is furnished within 60 days, the entire amount of such group proportion shall be charged to the said first carrier. It shall also be the duty of the first mem- ber carrier beyond the gateway or rate-breaking point to furnish, upon request, rates and divisions with I. C. C. tariff authority therefor, to or from the rate-breaking point when tariffs are not in the possession of the road against which claim is presented, such request to show junctions via which shipment moved. (a) Claims for relief of charges on freight short at junctions, as specifically provided for in Rule 50, shall be handled in accordance with that rule. 45. Honoring Authorities Granted. When authority has been granted on the strength of which money has been paid which would not otherwise have been paid, such au- thority shall be honored and no repudiation shall be al- lowed ; but when authority is simply a clerical error and no loss has resulted therefrom, it shall be susceptible of cor- rection. 46. Insolvent Carriers. Should any carrier be insol- vent, uncollectible amount due from it shall be assumed by other carriers handling shipment. (a) If full amount is due from insolvent carrier it shall be prorated between all other carriers handling shipment on revenue basis. (b) Where two or more carriers are liable, insol- vent carrier's proportion shall be prorated between them, using their proportions of claim as factors. (c) Provided each participating carrier shall fur- R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 31 nish by its proper officer a certified statement of ac- count with insolvent carrier showing no credit avail- able for offset. 47. Disposition of Undercharges Discovered. All un- dercharges occurring through errors in the original di- visions of revenue which are discovered in handling over- charge claims shall be credited to the carriers to which they belong in the final apportionment; provided the amount is in excess of the debit minimum (Rule No. 42). STATEMENTS OF AMOUNTS DUE AND PAYABLE BY DRAFT 48. Statements of Amounts Due.

A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES This rule will not apply to claims charged out under Rule 50. 50. Relief of Charges on Short Freight. (a) When freight checks short at junction point, inter- mediate point, or destination, the carrier delivering the waybill on which freight is short shall, on demand, refund the full amount of revenue that accrued up to junction point, if freight does not reach destination within sixty days. No investigation further than the development of the above record shall be necessary. (b) When both the original waybill and the shipment are short at destination (the destination carrier having re- ported the waybill as result of tracing by the billing car- rier), and the shipment fails to reach destination within sixty days, no further investigation is necessary, but desti- nation carrier may arbitrarily charge its next connection the total amount of charge up to junction point, as pro- vided in paragraph (a) of this rule, and each intermediate carrier may charge its next connection in a like manner. (c) When the destination of short freight is a station on the line of two or more carriers, the agent of the carrier via which the shipment is routed, which holds the waybill, shall advise the agent of the other carriers of the shortage, giving a description of the freight. The agents should care- fully examine their records and warehouses, and if located, the freight or charges collected, as the case may be, shall be promptly surrendered to the carrier holding the waybill. Provided, however, that when a carrier transports a single shipment of less than carload astray freight, weighing five thousand pounds or more, or a car containing LCL astray freight, weighing five thousand pounds or more, the car- rier holding the waybills shall turn them over to the car- rier performing the service. (d) In case of shortage from a package the freight charges assessed on freight short shall be pro-rated be- tween interested carriers on basis of revenue from point where shipment was last checked in full and in good order, to point where shortage was discovered. R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 33 (e) In case of shortage between depots developed at a junction point under loading seals by the check of the re- ceiving carrier, of freight checked and loaded in good order by the delivering carrier, the freight charges accruing on such shipment shall be divided sixty (60) per cent to the delivering carrier and forty (40) per cent to the receiving carrier ; provided, that if delivering carrier does not furnish receiving carrier waybill or transfer by which to make check when unloaded, or when checked in car, receiving carrier shall not be liable. (f) This rule is to apply to either junction or audit office settlements and on all unsettled claims (d-13) ; sub- ject, however, to a minimum charge of one dollar ($1.00). When two or more carriers are involved, the principle of distribution outlined in Rule 42 shall govern. LOADED CARS HANDLED AS EMPTY 51. Loaded Cars Handled as Empty.

One dollar of the fee for each claim arbitrated shall be credited to the general fund of the Asso- ciation and at the end of the year $3.00 for each claim arbi- trated by them during their official year shall be paid to each member of the Arbitration Committee, provided that $3.00 each on such claims as shall have been arbitrated by substitute members of the Arbitration Committee shall be paid to such substitutes. 127. Procedure of Committee, Etc. When the forego- ing requirements have been complied with (as to which the Secretary of the Association shall be the judge), the Secre- tary shall attach his acknowledgment of the arbitration fee and forward the papers to a member of the Arbitration Committee, not the chairman, who shall render his award in the case, and forward the papers with his award to the other member of the Arbitration Committee, not the chair- man, who shall render his award and forward his award 42 R. A. 0. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES and all papers to the chairman. The chairman shall render his award and forward the award of the Arbitration Com- mittee, together with all papers, to the Secretary, who shall return all the papers together with the award rendered, by the Arbitration Committee to the carrier from whom he re- ceived them originally. Each member of the Arbitration Committee shall send to the Secretary a carbon of his letter of transmittal to the next member of the committee. 128. Secretary to Notify Interested Carriers of De- cisions. The Secretary shall notify each carrier interested the result of the decision of the Arbitration Committee. Should any carrier so interested question the decision ren- dered by the Arbitration Committee, that committee shall not be permitted to reopen or reconsider the case ex- cept in event of a clerical error, as to which the Secretary shall be the judge. Such dissatisfied carrier's recourse shall be to the Appeal Committee, as provided in Rule 202. 129. Paying Carrier to Charge Out Per Arbitration De- cision. Upon receipt of papers with Arbitration Commit- tee's award, the paying carrier may in conformity with such award, and in accordance with Rule 42 charge by arbitrary debit, regardless of amount, such carrier or carriers as have been penalized and who accept arbitrary debits under the plan outlined in Rule 42. The carrier or carriers penalized, who do not accept arbitrary debits, shall issue authority for their proportion within thirty (30) days after receipt of papers. The papers to be sent to the most distant carrier, to be passed in turn to its immediate connection within thirty days, and so on until they reach the paying carrier for file. Papers in all cases to be forwarded between in- terested carriers by express or registered postal mail. If paying carrier desires to appeal claim, it will be required to carry full amount, pending decision of the Appeal Com- mittee. 130. Procedure When Papers Are Lost After Arbitra- tion Decision. When claim papers are lost after decision has been rendered and diligent search fails to find them, carrier or carriers decided against may be debited with R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 43 their proportion on basis of Arbitration Committee's award without duplication of papers further than a copy of the award, unless one of the interested carriers desires to enter an appeal, in which case a duplicate set will be necessary and must be furnished by carrier losing the papers. 131. Procedure When the Arbitration Committee Fails to Reach Majority Award. When the Arbitration Com- mittee fails to make a majority award, the chairman of the committee shall refer the papers back to the members of the committee to see if an agreement can be reached. If it cannot be so reached by the committee, then recourse shall be had to the Appeal Committee through the Secretary, in accordance with Rule 202, the appeal fee to be paid out of the general fund. 132. Arbitration Fee, How Apportioned. The charge for arbitration shall be borne by the carrier or carriers against which the decision is given, and shall be appor- tioned by the Arbitration Committee (or Appeal Commit- tee in case of appeal) at time decision is rendered, except that such carriers as have agreed in their brief to assume an amount equal to or in excess of that assessed them by the arbitrators, shall be exempt from participation in the fee. The receipt of the treasurer attached to the papers shall be deemed a sufficient voucher for the collection of such amount. 133. When Traffic or Operating Agreements Involved. When submitting claims involving legitimate traffic or op- erating agreements, such agreements shall be quoted in the arguments presented and acknowledged or repudiated by the other carriers interested therein, and failure to repudi- ate shall be considered an -acknowledgment. If said agree- ments are of such a nature that it is deemed improper or inadvisable by the parties to make them known to the com- mittee, the claim must not be sent to the committee, but should be referred to and settled by the officers of the car- riers parties to such agreements, unless all parties consent to waive said agreements and allow the claim to be arbi- trated under the rules of the Association, which waiver shall be duly recorded in the argument of each carrier. 44 R. A. 0. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 134. Refusal to Abide by Award. It shall be the duty of the members to report to the President of the Associa- tion the refusal of any member to abide by the awards of the Arbitration Committees, or to take an appeal, as pro- vided for in Rule 202. 135. When Non-Member Interested. In cases where any members have a dispute with a non-member carrier, and the member carrier desires to have it arbitrated, the Arbitration Committee shall act on the claim ; provided that the member carrier can and does obtain, over the per- sonal official signature of the proper officer of the non-mem- ber carrier, his consent to accept the Arbitration Commit- tee as the arbitrators, and that he will comply with the requirements and rules and abide by and fully comply with the decision- of a majority of the committee. 136. When Non-Member Declines to Arbitrate. If the non-member carrier declines to arbitrate, this will not pro- hibit arbitration on the claim as between the member car- riers, and such award as may be made against a non-mem- ber carrier shall be assumed by the paying carrier when non-member carrier is alone liable. When liability rests jointly between member carrier or carriers and non-mem- ber carrier, the amount assessed against non-member car- rier shall be assumed by member carrier if but one mem- ber carrier. If more than one, the amount of claim shall be assessed against member carriers held liable on basis of the award. (a) Non-Member Right of Appeal After Agreeing to Arbitrate. Non-member carriers shall have right of ap- peal from decision of the Arbitration Committee, provided they have agreed to abide by rules of this Association, but they shall not be allowed any initiative arbitration privi- leges. A member not directly interested cannot submit claim for arbitration on account of a non-member carrier. APPEAL COMMITTEE 201. Appeal Committee to Consider on Same Basis. The Appeal Committee shall be required to consider claims R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 45 which are referred to them on the same basis as that on which originally presented to the Arbitration Committee. 202. Procedure for Appeal. Should any carrier be dis- satisfied with the decision of the Arbitration Committee, an appeal may be taken to the Appeal Committee, provided notification to Secretary, stating date papers first reached the appealing carrier with decision of the Arbitration Com- mittee, with copy or copies to carriers interested, be sent within thirty days after receipt of papers with award. A deposit of $15.00 must accompany notification to the Secretary, and the Secretary's acknowledgment of the $15.00 shall be filed in the claim papers and shall be proof to all concerned that the claim is duly under appeal. In the event a carrier which has filed with the Secretary a notice of appeal, decides later to withdraw such appeal, it shall send carbon copy of notice of withdrawal to all in- terested carriers, and any other interested carrier will not then be debarred from appealing the case account of the thirty (30) days' time limit having expired. Such other appeal must be made within thirty (30) days after again receiving papers. 203. Statements to Appeal Committee. The carrier asking appeal shall have thirty days after such notice to Secretary in which to prepare its argument, over the per- sonal signature of the officer in charge of the claim office, and the papers shall then be referred with argument by the appealing carrier to the carrier nearest to it in the di- rection of destination. Each interested carrier shall have the papers and the right to make, within thirty days, one argument to the Appeal Committee, which must be done over the personal signature of the officer in charge of claims. No additional investigation shall be made by any carrier and no new facts or evidence shall be presented ; provided, however, that any carrier may cite in its argu- ment any previous decisions of the Appeal Committee. When all carriers interested have so argued their case, or refused to do so over the personal signature of the officer 46 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES in charge of claims, the papers shall be returned by the last carrier, through interested carriers, to the carrier making appeal, fifteen days' time being allowed each carrier within which to so return the papers to the next interested carrier. When papers reach the appealing carrier they shall be forwarded within fifteen days to the Secretary, unless such carrier desires to withdraw its appeal and comply with the decision of the Arbitration Committee. When any carrier fails to attach its argument or refusal and forward papers within thirty days, or to return the papefs to next inter- ested carrier w r ithin fifteen days as provided in this section, or when any carrier loses claim papers submitted to it un- der this section the procedure and penalty set forth in Rule 130 shall apply. The provisions of Rules 131 and 132 shall also apply to claims submitted for appeal. No direct com- munication, oral, w r ritten, or printed, shall be allowed be- tween any member interested in an arbitration before, dur- ing or after such arbitration, and any member of the Arbi- tration or Appeal Committees in connection with such arbi- tration, save and except as herein made and provided. Any necessary communication for a proper purpose shall be made through the Secretary, and when he is in doubt as to the propriety thereof, he shall refer the matter to the Presi- dent and be guided by his decision. 204. Procedure of Committee. The Secretary, after ascertaining that the foregoing requirements have been complied with (as to which he shall be the judge) shall promptly transmit papers to a member of the Appeal Com- mittee other than the chairman. The member to whom first sent shall attach his award, after which papers shall be passed in convenient order to the other member of the Appeal Committee for like attention ; the chairman to at- tach his award last. It shall be the duty of the chairman to see that a major- ity award has been given, which shall be .final, after which the papers shall be sent to the Secretary, who shall return them to the carrier originally submitting them for arbi- tration. R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 47 205. Disposition of Appeal Fee. If the Appeal Commit- tee affirm the decision of the Arbitration Committee, the deposit of $15.00 shall be forfeited and credited to the gen- eral fund of the Association. If the Appeal Committee do not affirm the decision of Arbitration Committee, the $15.00 deposited shall be credited, to the general fund of the Association, and this amount, together with the arbitration fee of $10.00 shall be charged to the carrier or carriers against which the decision is rendered, provided that if the claim is appealed by other than the paying carrier, that such of the appeal fee as is not charged against the appealing carrier may be charged by the appealing carrier to the pay- ing carrier. Upon receipt of papers with the Appeal Com- mittee's award, the paying carrier may, in conformity with such award and in accordance with Rule No. 42 charge by arbitrary debit, regardless of the amount, such carrier or carriers as have been penalized, and who accept arbitrary debits under the plan outlined in Rule No. 42. The carrier or carriers penalized who do not accept arbitrary debits shall issue authority for their proportion within ten days after receipt of papers. The papers to be sent to the most distant carrier, to be passed in turn to its immediate con- nection within ten days, and so on until they reach the pay- ing carrier for file. Papers in all cases to be forwarded between interested carriers by express or registered postal mail. When claim papers are lost after decision has been rendered and dili- gent search fails to find them, carrier or carriers decided against may be debited with their proportion on basis of Appeal Committee award without duplication of papers fur- ther than a copy of the award. 206. Compensation of Committee. At the end of the year five dollars ($5.00) for each claim reviewed by them during their official year shall be paid out of the general fund of the Association to each member of the Appeal Com- mittee, provided that five dollars each on such claims as shall have been reveiwed by substituted members of the Appeal Committee shall be paid to such substitutes. 48 R. A. O. A. OVERCHARGE CLAIM RULES 207. Carbon Copies to Secretary. Each member of the Appeal Committee shall send to the Secretary a carbon copy of his letter of transmittal to the next member of the committee. 208. Appeal Committee to Complete Work. The work of the Appeal Committee shall be completed by them so far as claims before them are concerned and their unfin- ished labors shall not be turned over to the new committee for the ensuing year. 209. Appeal Committee May Interpret Rules. In case there shall be a dispute between parties, members of this Association, as to the proper interpretation, meaning, or effect, of any rule of this Association, any party interested may submit question or dispute to the Appeal Committee for consideration and determination. Each party, in pre- senting his contention, shall be governed by the rules and provisions applicable to the submission of claims to the Appeal Committee for decision. 210. Previous Decisions as Authority. In quoting pre- vious decisions of Arbitration and Appeal Committees, only such decisions and awards as have been made by the Railway Accounting Officers' Association shall be recog- nized as authority.
