This special honor was won by Wells

CAR SHORTAGE BAD
STOCK CARS NOT AVAILABLE
AND BOX CARS SCARCE.

Oskaloosa ub-Committee of the
Social Committee on National Defense
associated with the American Railway
association, at the thirteenth weekly
meeting since organization held Mon
day, found it's business growing.
The car shortage committee reports
the situation about as bad as it could
be. Both the Rock Island and the
M. & st. L. were unable to give stock
cars to patrons last week and the Bur-
lington obtained very few. While
the Rock Island has been able to meet
all applications for other cars, the
Burlington and the M. & St. L. have
had fifty per cent shortage.
On the line of the NJ. & st. L., Mason
City was unable to get rs refrigerators
to handle meat. On the entire line
from Albert Lea to Peoria the line
was short 200 cars for grain, emigrant
and miscellaneous loading. Unable
to meet requests for $50 stock cars in
the same territory.
Farmers going from one locality to
another are unable to obtain box cars
for moving on account of so many APP
plications for cars issued ahead. Effort
will be made to set orders for emf
grant cars ahead by means of prior
ity order.
An appeal is made to the general
committee to furnish cars to the M.
& st. L. as the need is urgent. For
example, farmers on rented ground
cannot obtain transportation for stock
that must be moved March first to
give possession to other occupants.
Relief is needed Immediately.
Delay is also experienced in unload
ing or moving cars now in the local
yards and where the cause of delay
rests with foreign parties the case is
referred to the sub committee in the
city of origin, asking for immediate
clearance. Z,
