Handle the Traits.
Washington. Dec. %. - Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission said yesterday that the
car shortage problem is more serious
in the Southwest than in the North
west. He places the blame for the
existing conditions equally on the ship
pers and the railroads.
Prosperity in the Southwest" SAID
Chairman Knapp, "is so great and
crops are SO heavy that the railroads
are swamped. They have not in many
cases either cars or trackage facilities
to handle the abnormal volume of traf.
fic offered for transportation. Lack Of
cars is not the only difficulty. but it is
the greatest.
If the shippers would load and un.
load cars with less delay. the car
shortage problem would be solved to
great extent"
