NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN
LOCAL FREIGHT CONGESTION.

The question Of freight congestion in
Washington. and the continued delay in
getting car loads OF stun into the city
after IL has been contracted for by local
men IN the South or Southwest. will
now probably be thoroughly inYesti-
gated, so far as the business men OF the
city can probe into such affairs without
the consent Of the railroads which are
having their affairs looked into The
transportation committee OF the Bush
ness Mems Association met yesterday
afternoon and Joined in the request OF
the similar committee OF the Board of
Trade for a combined hearing on the
matter. This action means that when
the Board of Trade committee meets
on Thursday there are likely TO be pres
ent many Of the sufferers from the de-
lay, evidence in hand, to substantiate
the charges OF what appears TO be dis
elimination against the merchants of
Washington IN favor Of the cities
farther north.
The railroads involved naturally deny
that there Is any discrimination. but IL
answer 70 his denial the shippers ask
why 1t is that goods consigned TO Wash
ington are IN many cases from one 10
three weeks behind the date scheduled for
them to arrive here. The railroads from
the South-The Atlantic Coast Line, the
Seaboard Air Line the Southern-and
those bringing goods from the Southwest
the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Nor
folk and Western-put the blame for the
delay on the Richmond Fredericksburg
and Potomac and the Pennsylvania, the
officers saying that they got the freight
TO their terminals. but after this the
trains are held up. The officers OF the
PennsylvaDia deny that they are 20
blame. and the men who are operating
the Richmond, Fredericksburg. and Po-
tomac for the Keystone system, are retl-
cent. acknowledging that there might
be some delay, which they are eXcuslng
on the ground OF an extraordinary
large amount of freight coming from the
South at this time OF the year IL was
said yesterday that at The meeting ~,
Thursday arrangements will probably be
made for a mass meeting Of shippers
and others interested. at which some
action may be taken to compel the roads
blamed 10 make improvements in their
freight schedules.
