Railroads Deserve More.

Sir.--We see that the railroads OPP

shortage situation. This they should
do-and they should oppose the
"eight-hour'' measure, unless smpli-
fed to affect some yard switchmen
and perhaps a few others The car
shortage situation may be and is due
to more than one cause, but one potent
cause seems to be the low demurrage
charge In operation up to a very re-
cent date 1t is current rumor here
that one dealer at a way-station not
far distant. during the wheatrise
period, had from twenty to thirty
cars loaded with wheat and held for
from twenty to thirty days. He was
willing TO stand the one dollar day
per car demurrage. Why? Because
IL paid him. The railroads. however,
were losing money. Now, this tying up
OF Cars WAS going on, to greater or
less degree, all over this country-it
must have held innumerable cars idle
Every car so side switched was plain
loss to the railroads and it kept in the
storehouses on the farms incalcula Bile
thousands of bushels of grain which
should have been on the market for
distribution and consumption. one
dollar demurrage is not enough. The
new schedule Of 81 90 for the first day,
81 90 for the second day. $500 for the
third day. and then $500 per day,
though still low. should be allowed

gestion.
Year nv year we country people
more and more believe in railroads
