The complicated railroad situation, the tying

den to music publishers, particularly those who
send out comparatively small bundles of music
on a C. O. D. basis and are compelled to wait
an unusual length of time for their money.
It has also happened that music sent out to
special sections to be featured for the ruii of a
show, or to meet some other special purpose, has
been so long en route to the dealer that the
greater part of its value is lost before it is placed
on sale or display. Of music sent to distributing
centers by freight, there are many complaints to
be heard. When between embargoes the rail-
roads can be persuaded to accept such ship-
ments, they are apparently sidetracked for
weeks on the road before reaching their destina-
tion.
In the case of popular songs, the delay of a
mouth, or even a week or two, in delivery opens
the way for considerable loss of possible sales.
At the present writing there is little relief in
sight for shipper in any line the products of
which are not directly connected with war work.
