Kansas City, Mo-. Jan. 4.--When
the people of Atlanta. little town in
southern Kansas, with but one rail-
way, stopped through freight train
and gave this order to the conductor,
Take out car of coal and allow
us enough to keep us warm" they
struck at the heart of the car short
age problem. The car was set out;
coal was distributed to those needing
IL ana remittance was made to the
company
If railroad company may confis-
cate coal, why not a town?
The car problem is vital to the
west. The soul of it is not always
reached in hotel parlors where high
salaried officials make "investiga-
tions." To understand 1t go out In
the short grass country. A scatter
ed prairie town, one small elevator,
one or two coal yards with storage
for two or three cars of coal at a
time. Few granaries for the wheat,
few families with capital enough to
lay in the winters coal in September.
Cars must come when they are want
ed-or there is distress.
In the north billiards. threaten, in
the south, cattle and sheep await
shipment to market. On branch lines
in the wheat belt when cars cannot
be had, wheat is heaped on the
ground, $4,000 bushels in a single
| pile.
II tell you, we fellows in Texas
have our blood up" declared H. c.
Jett, of Fort Worth, a leading cattle
| man. 1--WE are ready to tear up
| tracks; we can't stand it." He has
| lost $4,000 through lack of cars in
which to ship cattle.
Col. Murdo Mckenzie, president OF
the American Live Stock association
who has taken the matter up official
ly, puts it this way: 1--WE Texans have
to wait sometimes two months for
cars. Cattle and sheep are driven
| from Texas to the north because there
are no cars. l lost $1,000 on one
shipment because of wait of 81,
| weeks--yet hundreds of stock car:
backed on coal mine sidings. The
roads use our cars for other things,
More than that--thousands, of car,
are on side tracks al central railroad
points; hundreds are on track at di
vision points; scores stand here ant
there at moderate sized towns. VIII.
