CAR SHORTAGE QUESTION.
Carriers Blame Elevator companie
and Farmers for Conditions,

Carriers Blame Elevator Companies
and Farmers for Conditions.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 5.-Thc hearing be-
fore the railroad commission on the
question of complaints of grain ship
pers against the carriers in the matter
of alleged discrimination in furnishing
cars as between towns and between in
dividuals, developed that while there is
great variety Of complaint there is
nothing definite worked out as a rem
edy. The railroads claim, in a general
way, that they have increased their
equipment to correspond with the in
crease of business but that neither the
farmers nor the elevator men have
kept pace with the demands Of the
times; that the fault lies in that there
is not sufficient storage capacity at the
elevators, no equipment with dryers,
and that farmers have no provision for
keeping their grain. The shippers
showed that as a matter Of fact, at
many places, there was a serious car
shortage the past few months and seri-
Gus losses thereby.
The commission is undertaking to
develop whether or not it is possible
for the Iowa commission or the inter-
state commerce commission to make a
rule that will aid in solving the car
shortage problem in a time Of great
need of cars.
1t was also developed that the ship
pers do not agree as to what should be
done, and there is some difference in
views as between the cooperative or
farmers association and the line ele-
vator association and its members.
