SHIPPERS IN WILD SCRAMBLE FOR CARS
Coal and Grain Dealers
Clamor Most, Michigan

Washington. May IA wild scram-
bic among individual lines of industry

ment developed Wednesday as the In.
terstate Commerce commission gave in
dication of reaching definite conclusions
on plans to break the freight blockade
There was a clamor for cars and for
priority orders by grain and coal deal
ers.
The American Gamers association
protested that unless its shipments were
moved ahead there would be heavy losses
in the Pittsburgh, MeKeesport and
Youngstown districts. By letter. teie-
gram and through personal representa-
ton, the commission, the American Rail
road associations car service committee
and railroad executives here were ap-
praised of the urgent needs of almost
every line of trade.
Michigan Almost FueiIsss.
A committee of the executives rec
ommended to the commission the trans
fer of 10000 box cars from the Atlantic
seaboard to lines west of Chicago and
the relocation of 10000 coal cars now
west of the Mississippi river to areas in
the freight congested east. This should
be done within the next thirty days if
a direct beneficial result is to be ac-
complished, the rail heads believe.
Members of the Michigan congression-
al delegations, together with represen-
tatives Of Michigan public utilities, ap-
pealed to the commission for consider
alton In the movement of coal to that
territory. They urged the commission
to clamp down on "the misuse of open
top equipment" so that it would be
available for transnnrt atiou of co0l Gas
and electric plants in most of the cities

Only Fifth Of Grain Cars LoadabIe.
At the conference called by Director
Barnes, of the grain corporation, com
producing sections of the middle west
was the principal topic of discussion.
There were assertions that, even when
ears were supplied. Tess than 20 per
cent of them were fit for loading Pres
idents of several railroads answered that
the task of restoring equipment to a
serviceable basis was one almost be-
yond human comprehension. and that
the railroad lines were doing their ut
most in making cars ready to meet the
forthcoming heavy grain movement
Mr. Barnes said that wheat shipments
after June 1 should be given priority,
of the grain underlay stable credit for
the growers. But Hale Holden, presi-
dent Of the Burlington, and member
OF the executives committee, said that
the roads could not possibly furnish 100
per cent car supply because much of
the rolling stock had not been kept in
during the war.
