it will continue until about April 1st

Commission on Car Service indicate that
even with intensive loading more than
$50, 600 cars will be needed to handle the

SEES POTATO WAR
IN OLD ENGLAND
Premier Lloyd George Takes
Hand in Fixing Price
of "Spuds."
PEOPLE GROW RESTLESS

London, Feb. l8.-Premier Lloyd
George, an official announcement
says, has telegraphed the lord mayor
Of Manchester as follows:
"Thc war cabinet has considered
the difficulties which have arisen in
certain districts in connection with
the operation of the price of potatoes
under the order of January !. That
order was issued by the food con-
troller to insure that the price was
not inflated unduly in CONSEQUENCE
of shortage in supplies. Recent
prolonged frosts have reduced the
stocks and interrupted distribution,
and, accordingly, it has been neces-
sary to readjust the interests of all
parties. The department concerned,
therefore, at my request, conferred
with representatives Of the wholesale
and retail trades and submitted pro-
posals which were approved by the
war cabinet"
Premier Lloyd George then de-
tailed the proposals whereby the
growers are entitled to charge 60 a
ton to dealers until March 81 and
c 10 ton thereafter.
Premier Lloyd Georges interven-
ton in the potato crisis is regarded
by the Sunday newspapers as an
eleventh hour effort to avert the po-
tato war which has been threatening
for some time.
Serious famine exists in virtually
all the large Lancashire towns, par
ticularly Manchester. The usual
weekly output from the Ormskirk dis
trict of Lancashire is between 5000
and 1000 tons, but this month not
100 tons has been sold by retailers,
yet it is estimated that there are
more than 10000 tons of potatoes
within a ten-mile radius of Orms-
kirk.
Acting under orders from Dublin,
the police in Ireland visited the
markets at Droghdea, Middleton, Lin
erick and elsewhere and ordered the
farmer sellers not to charge more
than a shilling for ID pounds of po-
tatoes, in an effort to prevent dis
turbances which are expected to re-
suit from the farmers demands.
The Weekly Dispatch says that the
potato famine is due to the non-ar-
rival Of stocks on the market, owing
to the alleged Withholding of stocks
by farmers for better prices, while
the retailers who have not been buy
ing have been informing the public
there would be no potatoes for sale
tomorrow.
