PLAN REIMBURSEMENT.
Congress at Omaha Seeks to Solve
Problems of West.

omaha, Neb, Feb. 1s.-A construc-
tive program for the advancement OF
industry in the west during the recon-
struction period will be adopted at the
Mississippi readjustment congress
which opened here today with bust
ness men. farmers and state officials
present from virtually every state west
of the Mississippi.
Just as the Industrial east organ
lied at Atlantic City in December, the
west will chart its 1919 business at
Omaha" said John w. Gamble, presi-
dent of the Omaha Chamber Of Com
merce. in an opening statement TO the
congress. :
The congress divided into sectional
groups this afternoon for the purpose
of preparing reports on postwar
prices for the dairymen. the farmer.
the implement man. wages Of the farm
laborer and factory worker, the needs
of rural schools. and the causes OF the
present high cost OF living.
The chamber of commerce of the
United States, under whose auspices
the congress is being held, has re-
auested that the following subjects be
carefully studied and acted upon by
the delegates:
The best means to stabilize prices
during readjustment period.
Will increased production increase
the prices of material and labor, or
will a controlled redistribution of ma
terial and labor from war industries
prevent such an increase?
Disposition of government war ma
terials on hand.
Estimated amount of labor required
for 1919 productions: It's source, and
how moved.
Do you recommend government
financial aid during readjustment? Is
financial legislation needed: Should
capital Issues committee be continued?
Should war industries board be con-
tinued!
Control OF materials to avoid market
Generalization. Erect on prices II ma
terials uncontrolled.
How can railroad cross hauling be
further eliminated, and would ports OF
entry be advantageous?
Would uniform method OF cost ac-
counting be advisable in each indus
try?
Effect of foreign competition on bus
l
mess. Will 1t increase or decrease
production?
Disposition of government merchant
marine.
Before close OF business tomorrow
night committees will report on these
and numerous other questions.
Speakers today said that while the
war was in progress the national
chamber of commerce organized Amer
ica's Industries into 900 allied groups to
| furnish government supplies. The
chamber Is now advocating LEGISLATION
! for proper valuation Of informal war
contracts and disposition Of govern
ment surplus supplies.
New Orleans sent a big delegation
to point out the advantages to tbs

Shippers Shov Up
Poor Car Service

Tho railroad difficulties experiences
by shippers OF live. stock were tod
officials OF the federal railroad admin
istration at n meeting held IN me
chambers of the Chicago Lave SHOWN
Exchange. The conference Is the re-
suit Of protests made by the exchanse
to the railroad administration ana
interstate commerce commission t"o
weeks ago. ~,
J. l.. Harris, chairman of the i've
stock committee of tho railroads, pre-
sided at the conference. coming mere
from Washington.
The morning session was devoted 10
complaints of Iowa shippers, made py
representatives OF the Corn Belt Meat
Producers Association. They por-
trayed vividly the autocrauc treat
ment they are receiving from the rail-
roads, told how the extended schedules
mean uncertainty In the time the
stock would reach markets, and Of the
excessive shrinks which are resulting
thercfrom.
Complaint was also made on the
facilities provided by the railroads ior
carrying the farmers accompanying
the stock to market: of excessive FEED
bills, loss OF animals at unloading
places, lack of courtesy on the part OF
road employees and Of the numerous re-
fusals OF apparently just claims TOT
damages.
Testimony Specific.
The testimony given was SPECIFIC IN
every instance. Men not only told OF
their own personal experience. but OF
those of their neighbors. giving names
and addresses, and other data.
The feeling of the farmers was that
the war Is over now and better rail-
road service must come or II will re-
suit in decreased production. Event
ually. II was pointed out. food prices
would he higher.
A. sykes. of Ida Grove, Iowa, presi-
dent of the Corn Belt Meat Producers
Association. read figures showing that
the present schedules meant from
10 80 hours more on the road, and
shrinks OF 200 pounds more than were
common under private ownership OF
railroads.
The situa ton today is rotten" said
\. l.. Ames. of Buckingham, Iowa.
You can't tell thing about what
is going to happen. Order a car, and
you may get it inside of three weeks;
and then you don't know when it is go
ing to reach market. or if any of your
stock will be alive at the time.
There are many ways the railroads
could help producers. In the nrst
place. there is no regularity of sched-
ules. II we knew absolutely when we
were 10 have cars, it would not be SO
bad. One man in our town had TO
wait five weeks for car.
IF we could have the service We got
years ago. we would be we'll satisfied.
This poor service is going 10 be re-
fiected in production if II continues.
Some of my neighbors have quit feed
ing because of their inability to get
cars when their stuff was ready. They
were compelled to continue feeding the
stuff at a loss, and they became dis
gusted Several of them have told me
they were going to sell their grain.

Trucks unprosi.abI. on General Farms

A preliminary study toward deter
mining whether or not a motor truck
as part of the farm equipment would
be profitable in the corn-belt States,
conducted by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, Indicates
that under present conditions the pur-
chase of truck Is not warranted on
the ordinary grain and livestock farm
Only as 1t makes possible the elimin-
alton OF some horses Is the practice
profitable on 600 farms stocked.

ket produce In 80 days and the work
is so distributed throughout the year
that the use of the truck would not
make possible the sale OF and horses.
Farmers within reach by motor tru *
Of large cities where better prices OBJ
tain for live stock and possibly grain
might be justified in buying n truck,
but even in such cases IL is probable
that hiring the hauling done by a
custom truck owner would be more
economical. With regard to truck
farms, the situation is somewhat dit-
ferent. Where produce is taken to
market on an average Of two or three
times week throughout the year the
use Of a truck makes it possible to
get on with fewer horses. This mekes
the use of a truck more desirable
than ON general farms.
