tons were transported, for week end
ing Sept. goth, 11,24s,00o tnHs were
transported and for week ending Sept
27th Railroad Administration esti-
mates that approximately 11,575 10000
tons were transported.
CONDITIONS have developed which
have made it necessary to handle the
wheat situation in an emergency way:
This situation has been complicated
by the fact that many of the elevators
are full and it has been imprac.icable
to move additional wheat to points
where the elevators are full because
to do so would cause large numbers OF
railrcad cars to be filled with grain
which would not be disposed of at
destination and this would result in
practically taking such cars out of
the transportation service and using
them for stor1irg and depriving the
public generally Of cars which are
badly needed for business of every
sorit. The Railroad Administration is
following this matter very vigorously
in consultation with the grain COR
pora;tion and Director General Will
consider the matter personally at
mesting of interested Raflroad Of
f:cials, Representatives of the Grain
Corporation, and others to be held in
Chicago this week.
"As to the situation in Texas where
the wheat conditions are particularly
acute because the crop is approx
mately 25,O00,000 bushels larger than
last wear, and where there is scar
city of local storage facilities, ar
engagements are being made through
the grain corporations for the grain
for the sending CT ad-
fitional cargo vessels to Galveston
and arrangements have already been
made for increasing the number OF
,eun1its for carloads of wheat into
Galveston from so to 100 per day.
