Special Dispatch tn 1ut"lIigruCcr.
BALTIMORE. Feb. 23.-At an
executive session of tho Baltimore
chamber of commerce., to discuss
high prices of food. Vice President
Aruthur w. Thompson of the Bal
timore g. Ohio, startled the meln-
bors by stating that speculation
and not the car shortage is to
blame for present conditions. He
says coubignees arc holding many
cars for higher prices of the food
shipments.
Mr.. Thompson declared that tho
railroads are not responsible for
the high food prices and that as
far as his company Is concerned, If
1t should become necessary, It will
shut off Its passenger trains and
use tho locomotives for hauling
freight food cars.
After tho conference lie said lie
was amazed when tho grain men
informed him that they did not
need any flour IN Baltimore and
that there was plenty ef it here. he
said their main cry seemed to be
to get grain from the west for ex-
port.
MIR. Thompson said his railroad
had never placed an embargo on
foodstuffs or coal ana would not
be forced to that meauure.
