By accepting a bill of lading or written contract for carriage with knowledge of its terms, a shipper assents to the rate of hire and the time, place, and manner of delivery stated. His assent to any other modification of a railroad's rights or obligations contained in a bill of lading or other written contract can be manifested only by his signature to the same.
