Minneapolis Men Believe
Railroads Want to Send
Grain to Chicago.

Minneapolis, Jan. 21.-Use of the
boycott against the st. Paul and
Omaha roads as weapon OF reprisal
for the interstate commerce. commis-
sion's rate decision cutting down the
grain marketing territory tributary to
Minneapolis, was strongly urged by
Minneapolis millers and grain mon
today,in a conference called to dis
cuss the course of action to be taken
as the result of this adverse decision.
+ Minneapolis grain shippers, it was
learned today, believe they have
enough information at hand to make
it reasonably clear that Chicago rail-
road interests, particularly the North
western line and the Omaha road. are
seeking to divert the grain business to
Chicago.

chairman of the Chicago freight traf-

the Recommendations for changes in
the grain rate structure which were
adopted almost in their entirety by
the interstate commerce commission.
That the St. Paul road, though
serving this territory, is inclined to
side with Chicago interests in rate
quarrels, is indicated, grain men say,
by the fact that o. w. Dynes. coun-

NECESSARY TO
TRANSPORT COAL
Head of Lake Docks Are
Operating at Only 80 Per
Cent of Capacity.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 21.-A most
critical situation exists in the coal
trade at the head Of the lakes, and in
the event of another extended period
of sub-zero weather in the northwest
there may be real danger of the pub
lie in towns served by docks here and
at Superior, particularly on the branch
lines Of railroads and in outlying dis
trcts Of North and South Dakota,
facing severe suffering on account OF
the lack of fuel. 1t is asserted there
is sufficient hard and soft coal supplies
on the docks to meet all needs, but
cars cannot be obtained to move it.
The freight car shortage is such
that the docks at Duluth and Superior
are operating on a basis of only 25 to
80 per cent Of their capacities, accord
ing to estimates made today by lead
ing coal operators
Not more than 700 cars all told are
being loaded out daily from docks and
a large proportion Of them are iron
ore hoppers with capacities of less
than half of an ordinary box car.
1t was said by coal dealers that the
Great Northern railroad has 1000
coal cars that would be available fol
the trade, but has no engines to move
them here
