Washington Jan. 16.-The presi-
dent today heard an appeal in favor Of
federal legislation for reciDroeal de-
murrage to meet the situation caused
by the lack of railroad equipment and
the delay in moving cars when loaded.
The appeal was presented by the eN-
ecutive committee of the national re-
ciprocal demurrage convention re-
Gently held in Chicago. headed by
Victor II. Beckman of Seattle, chair
man. Chairman Knapp of the inter-
state commerce commission also was
present.
The committees appeal SAYS: Not
only are the business interests of the
country experiencing great loss. but
in some sections many are facing seri-
Gus financial troubles. In the lumber
industry alone hundreds of mills are
shut down with their active capital
exhausted and facing pressing obli-
cations to meet which they must de-
pend on selling their product, for the
moving of which the railroads do not
furnish sufficient cars. Hundreds OF
coal land owners are in the same po-
sition Thousands of farmers espe-
cially i'm the northwest, have already
met with heavy losses from the same
cause ana plactlcallN every prouuclis
industry i'm the country, especially
those conducted by numerous private
firms or corporations, are directly ano
seriously affected"
The committee also discusses tht
situation with the interstate com
Imercc commission. Penalizing of th'
railroads for the slow movement o
/ loaded cars was suggested.
The suggestions will be considered
bv tho commission in dealing with tn
: general subject of legislative recon-
mendations regarding car shortage
