Fear Move by President
To Stop Car Shortage
Railroads See Possibility of Increase in Pow
ers of Interstate Commerce Commission
Through His Influence.

Congress is displaying the most in
tense interest n the car shortage ques-
ton, and when the holidays are over IL
is likely TO become one OF the most i'm
portant matters before that body.
President Roosevelt may send in a
special message To Congress on this sub
iect. advocating the extension of the
powers OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in suchc a way as 10 control
and remedy ear shortages, especially in
the case OF such emergencies as now ex-
list In the Dakotas and other parts of
the Northwest where whole communi-
ties are suffering grievously for lack Of
fuel
In the railroad world there is great
apprehension lest the President take
such a step. 1t is realized by the leaders
In ra!lroading that To extend the Inter
state Commerce Commissions powers IN
such a way as TO enable Il 10 deal with
a shortage Of cars, and actually 10 step

emergency such as now exists in the
Northwest, would mean the beginning OF
Government operation OF railroads. end
ing eventually, perhaps. in Government
ownership
The Washington times., 1906-12-18

The present rate law gives the Inter-
state Commerce Commission no power
as 10 the physical operation of railroad
property.
President Roosevelt has given and Is
giving careful consideration 10 the ques-
ton of how 70 meet the car shortage
situation by legislation that will prevent
"a recurrence of present troubles The
President has turned this bill and the
whole subject over 10 the Interstate
Commerce Commission
Representative Smith of Texas has
introduced a hiN which Is understood TO
embody the ideas OF Judge s. H.Cowan,
attorney for the Texas Cattle Growers
Association. which COntemplates legal
requirement that the railroads must fur
nish ears 20 shippers when needed. or be
subject to penalty, and which would
enable any shipper to go into court and
force a railroad 10 provide cars. This
bill also makes provision for the eX-
change of cars by different lines, and
gives the commission power TO make
regulations as 10 this exchange The
Smith bin does not increase much the
commission powers. which some regard
as necessary IN this case.
II The President comes out for legisla-
tiOn allowing the commission full con-
troll over ear shortage abuses Il will
precipitate IN Congress a struggle as
great as the one Of last winter.
