FOREWORD
The following methods should be imrsued in the assignment of file
numbers :
COMMODITIES
From pages tí to 9, inclusive, is a Classified List of Commodities,
providing a basis for tlie assignment of a nmnher to any commodity. For
illustration, sliould the reader ha\e a file relating to the general question of
Rates on Hosiery; while Hosiery is not specifically provided for in the
Classified List, by glancing through it he will notice Dry Goods under the
head of Cotton and Products taking number 113, wliich is the number
that sliould be assigned to Hosiery.
Files regarding commodities destined to but one point should always
be subdivided according to the name of that point (see Alphabetical Subdi¬
vision—page 1) ; but if destined to more than one point or between
points, should be subdivided territorially. (See Territorial Classification—
page 3).
As an illustration, a file regarding Kates on Fruit from ITesno, Calif.,
to St. Louis would be subdivided acco'rding to destination or St. Louis—
number 91, thus making the complete file number 13891. But, should this
file relate to the question of Kates on Fruit from Fresno to St. Louis, Han¬
nibal, Keokuk and other ^Mississippi River jioints, it would be subdivided ter¬
ritorially. which would make the file number 138-PD—"'P" covering Cali¬
fornia or Pacific Coast Territory and "D" Mississippi River Territory.
SUBJECTS
The various subjecL arising in t'lc Traffic Department are covered by
pages 10 to l?(i, inclusive,—i. e.. Accounting Matters, Agencies and Em¬
ployes, Foi'cign Traffic, etc., etc.
The proper method for assigning or locating numbers on subjects com¬
ing under these head's is to refer to the INDEX TO SUBJECTS, pages
111 to -¿It), inclusive, for page reference on the particrdar subject wanted;
tben refer to such page and carefully read everything regarding that sub¬
ject,—i. e., rules for subdivision, exceptions to be made in the designation
of nmnbers, cross-references, etc. The file number will always be found
to the left of the subject.
To illustrate the above, should you ha\c a file relative to Overloading
of Cars with Coal; by running your eye through the IXDEX TO SUB-
JLCTS. you will find Overloading of Cars on page 138; turning to that
page you will see that file number "ll'^ covers this subject, and in reading
tbe note underneath the subject, will find the rule for subdivision is by
commodity, or in this particular case, by Coal, thus making your complete
file number 212193.
The primary number must always precede the subdivision number
or letters.
GENERAL REMARKS
The reader at first glance may get the impression that this filing system
is very complicated, but will soon discover this is far from the truth
III
if he will carefully follow all the rules in the assignment of file numbers;
and after awhile, will seldom have occasion to refer to the book for
numbers, as they are easily memorized, this being caused by the fact
that there are but 201 primary file numbers covering all the commod¬
ities and subjects, for which there is a simple basis of subdivision
of several hundred times covering each file.
In cases where there is a great deal of correspondence under one file
number, it is a good plan, in order to I'acilitate the location of files, to split
np the correspondence by making special folders for the various files. For
illustration, should there be a lot of correspondence under file number 23313,
covering Terminal Allowances at Chicago, etc.; this could be split up by
making special folders somewhat ás follows:
Chicago—Lighterage
Chicago—Switching—Genera 1
Chicago—Switching—Belt Ey.
Chicago—Switching—Chicago Junction Ey.
Chicago—Switching—Manufacturers Ey.
Chicago—Tunnel; ete., etc.
But one person should be designated in each office to assign numbers
to correspondence, thus centering the responsibility for wrong file numbers
—should there be any—and this person should be of good judgment and
should use common sense in the assignment of file numbers, as no filing sys¬
tem can be made "fool-proof.'"
IV
TERRITORIAL CLASSIFICATION
The territorial classification below is intended to provide a basis for
the territorial subdivision of commodity and general rate adjustment
files as follows :
1st—From one point to a number of points or specific ter¬
ritory ;
2nd—From a number of points or specific territory to a
number of points or specific territory;
3rd—Between two or more points ; or
4th—Between specific territories.
In tlie 1st and 2nd cases the territorial letter covering the originating
point or territory should precede the territorial letter covering the des¬
tination—for illustration, the file number covering Grain Rates from
the Missouri River to Atlantic Seaboard points would be written
"149-JB," "J" covering Missouri River and "B" covering Atlantic
Seaboard points.
In the 3rd and 4tb cases the territorial letters should be written
in alphabetical order—for illustration, the file number covering Straw
Rates between Indiana and Illinois points would be written "151-DE"—
"D " covering Illinois territory and "E" Indiana territory.

260 Fast Freight Lines.
Where correspondence relates to divisions between this company
and a specific Fast Freight Line, or between a specific Fast Freight
Line and various railroads, subdivision should be made accord¬
ing to name of Fast Freight Line concerned, but in the case of
divisions between a specific railroad other than this company and
a specific Fast Freight Line or various Fast Freight Lines, sub¬
division should be made according to name of railroad concerned.
Where correspondence relates to divisions between this company
and various Fast Freight Lines, or between various railroads and
various Fast Freight Lines, so that subdivision cannot be made
according to name of either a Fast Freight Line or a raiiroad,
subdivision should be made according to name of point concerned,
or by affixing letters covering the points or territorial groups or
origin and destination (see Territorial Classification—page 3), and
as regards the use of territorial letters vs. number covering point
of origin or destination, and the order in which territorial letters,
should be written when used, etc., the same rules should be ob¬
served as are outlined in detail in the subdivision note under
General—i. e.. General Rates: General—i. e.. General Freight:
General—page 66. In any event, however, record should always

Where correspondence relates to divisions in connection with a
specific iine, subdivision should be made accordingly. When more
than one foreign line is concerned, hut only one through route in¬
volved, as in the case of divisions with iine 'A" on traffic to and
from points on line "B" ("A" being the intermediate line) ; or
divisions on traffic between points on line "C" and points on line
"D," via this line as intermediate, etc.; no hard and fast rule 'can
be observed, but subdivision should be made according to name
of one of the foreign lines concerned (i. e.. the one which it
seems best to use in the case in question—although, in the ab¬
sence of any reason for doing otherwise, subdivision should be
made preferentially according to name of iine initiating the prop¬
osition), and record made according to name of the other line
or lines involved. Where correspondence relates to general di¬
visions—i. e., in connection with various lines, and involving more
than one through route—so that subdivision cannot be made ac¬
cording to name of a specific foreign line, subdivision should be
made according to name of point concerned, or by affixing letters
covering the points or territorial groups of origin and destina¬
tion (see Territorial Classification—page 3), and as regards the
use of territorial letters vs. number covering point of origin or

possible, according to name ol foreign line or lines concerned,
and whenever specific territorial groups of origin and destination
are involved, and subdivision is not made on that basis, record
should be made according to territorial groups concerned.
