James j. Hill Predicts Greatest
Traffic Congestion
Known to Railroad History by
the Coming Fall.
NO WAY TO STOP 1T.
The Tonnage Being offered Is
Constantly Increasing.
A Lack Of Money Prevents Meet
ing the Conditions.

Chicago. March 29.-James ]. Hill
believes the railroads will experience
next fall and winter the greatest traf-
fic congestion In their history, and he
sees no way of preventing it. He pass
ed through Chicago yesterday on his
way from st. Paul to New York.
1.-The tonnage which is being offered
the railroads for transportation is con-
stantly on the increase" he said, land
there is little doubt that the railroads
will be called upon this year to furnish
more transportation units than they
have ever been asked to furnish. From
all indications it seems certain that by
next fall or early winter the railroads
will be totally unable to furnish any
thing like the amount of transportation
facilities which will be demanded by the
country.
Il do not think that the railroads are
to blame for this situation, for it IS
rext to impossible for them to raise the
money needed to provide the additional
facilities. The railroads of the country
really ought to have about $1,000, 0O0. 900
annually to spend for the next few
years in order to catch up with the
growing demands made upon them, but
it is a well known fact that they can
not get this money under present con-
ditions. Until railroad credit shall
Rave been restored and until the Amer
lean public shall have gained its conf
dence in railroad securities the public
will have to continue to suffer for lack
of railroad facilities
