TOM MARSHALL TALKS
Congressman Says Situation Amounts

Special to The Journal
Cakes, N. D., Nov. 29.-Congressman
Marshall has sent the following tele-
gram to Edward A. Moseley, secretary
Of the interstate commerce commission,
Washington, D. c.:
"The utter failure of the railroad
companies in this section to move the
crops and stock to market, owing to
what they term car shortage, is re-
sulting in a tremendous loss to our
people, amounting to almost a disaster.
! 1t is believed by many that there IS
something more behind this than the
shortage. The subject is one that should
have the attention of your commission.
IF, you have the authority. to investi-

authority. In the meantime, L would
be glad to have any suggestions from
you by wire.'
When questioned as to his views Of
the situation and of the possibility Of
getting a satisfactory answer to the
questions that are in everybody's
mouths, Mr.. Marshall said:
Loaded Cars Not Moved.
.sOur people have suffered before
from car shortage, but nothing like
the present condition was ever known:
In former years when cars were loaded
they reached their destination with
reasonable promptness. Now the roads
not only fail to supply an adequate
number of cars, but do not move the
few cars that are loaded with any ex-
petition. For instance, I know of cars
that have been loaded for ten days be-
fore they left the station; and when
moved were taken to the next station,
where they were dropped off and those
at that station moved forward one sta
ton, and I have advices from persons
in Duluth that loaded cars have been
standing on the sidetracks there from
twenty to thirty days.
" "Suffering as they do the people
have q right to know the cause and are
entitled to remedy if any can be
found. The roads have done them
selves an injustice by their silence and

Railroad men are talking about
the margins charged by elevator com
panies. The failure to provide cars has
raised the margins. It can be directly
charged to the Inability Of the roads
to give US cars. If we had adequate
car facilities we could reduce margins
by one-half and make as much profit
as we are making at the present time.
In the fall is the time elevator com
panies make their profits, and if they
are compelled to hold and store grain
1t naturally reduces their source Of
profit
Hwhen asked for an explanation of
the unprecedented lack. Of car faeili-
ties, Mr.. Mcmillan replied that It was
a failure on the part of the roads to
keep pace with advancing prosperity.
He believed it would have been impos-
sible to have secured car equippage

but this had been neglected until the
