Railroad Man Explains

Washington, Dec I'm response
+so telegrams addressed to severs
western railroads by the interstate
commerce commission as to the cause
OF the reported shortage of cars for
Transportation Of fuel by reason oi
which suffering is entailed, President
Howard Elliott of the Northern Paci'
ffe. ,telegraphs to the commission
frem st. Paul, that while there is q
shoasase of coal in some parts of the
couwtny along his line. he did not
know ef any shortage in other neces-
stiles. lie did not think the cause
was the extraordinary delay in mov'
ing coal, as alleged, but was rather
due to the domestic trade, as in Mon
tana and idaho not enough coal was
mined to supply the increasing de-
mand in North Dakota and Minneso
ia, He said the difficulty was partly
due to trying to move too much coal
in a very short time, and party to the
increased consumption Of fuel that ID
greater than the facilities for hauling
and moving and storing. The severe
weather in North Dakota also aided
IN the delay.
