Washington, Dec. 2S.-Startling rev.
Citations regarding the car shortage
were made public today by the de-
partment Of commerce and labor. Its
Investigations show that the much
Wanted car shortage is no shortage Of
ears at all. Its carefully gathered sta
tistics show that a smaller quantity Of
tho great staples of this country was
moved in November Of this year than
great elevators at Duluth and Mime
apolis and other shipping points yawn-
ing for wheat, the deliveries at fifteen
interior markets fell below the deliv-
cries of November 1905, by the great
figure of 17,500,00O bushels. With the
great northwest shivering and crying
for coal, the shipments of anthracite
from the eastern producing regions fell
below the figures for November, 1905,
by nearly two hundred and fifty thou
sand tons.
The showing is absolutely convincing
regarding the car supply. 1t answers
the question of the interstate commerce
commission, which, even at the end of
last week was willing to admit that
there was probably an actual shortage
OF cars But in clearing up this mooted
point, the revelations create even deep
er queries. Why is it that in Novem-
Der, 1906, with the interstate com
merce commission using it's utmost en-
deavors to relieve the tension, the rail
roads could not handle as much freight
as IN the corresponding period of 1905?
And, answer this question as we may,
the government agents who have drift
ed back here from the inquiries in the
northwest are forced to admit the
ground for these two questions:
Two Pointed Inquiries.

the. trust-busting and railroad curing
legislation and court action Of the past
year, and resentful of the enlarged
powers of the interstate commerce com
mission, seeking to give the country
one grand lesson of their power?
Are the railroads guilty of gross
tual confidence which is fatal to the
smooth flow of Interstate commerce?,'
That there is fair ground for 10th

is withheld because of his confidential
connection with the government. But
that he knows whereof he speaks is evil
denced by the fact that he has been 60
ing thru the northwest with his ear
close to the ground, prying into this
alleged car shortage. He has talked
with all conditions of railroad en-
ployees and shippers, and he has made
deep investigation on his own account.
And, after closely following the hear
lngs OF the commissioners, he was
forced to admit that the explanations
thus far offered do not explain.
