NOT ENOUGH FREIGHT CARS.
Rock Island Rents a K. c. Church to
Store Surplus Freight

Kansas City Mo, June 29-There is
"a congestion of freight in the principal
freight depots of the west bottoms. This
condition has existed for almost q week
and the efforts of the railroads to re-
heVe the situation have not been entire
ly successful. At the Missouri Pacific
freight stations the congestion is the
worst. Freight is piled about waiting
for cars in which to ship it. At the
same time each incoming car brings a
load of merchandise which must also
be disposed of. Wagon loads of freight
shipments are constantly arriving and
the wagons must be unl0aded. The
loaded vans form in line and await their
turns. During the busiest hours of the
day these lines reach for blocks a sim
liar condition. on a smaller scale, ex-
lists al the other freight depots
Nearly all of the depOts are piled up
with merchandise waiting to be shipped
or hauled away. The yards contain
many cars of flood damaged freight. as
well as incoming shipments. The Rock
Island railroad has rented vacant
church near its depot and is using it to
hold the overflow Of damaged freight
The railroad officials say that this
congestion is not the result Of the strike
but is the effect of the freight tie up
caused by the flood The principal
trouble seems to be the inability of the
railroads to get enough cars The Rock
Island this morning tore the sides from
seven old coal cars and used the floors
on the wheel trucks for flat cars. This
was necessary in order to ship farm ma
chinery into the harvest districts.
