DISCUSSES FREIGHT TIE-UP.
b. W. Woolley Says Roads Went
Back to Owners Too Soon.

Expressing the belief that Che
freight tie-up was due. more than
anything else. to the failure of the
railroads to obtain group action. such
as was possible under the government
control, Robert W. Woolley, a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. addressed the City Club lunch
con forum Yesterday. on What Is Be
ing Done to Jar Loose the Freight
jam"
Mr. Woolley said that the clamor
for the return of the roads to the
owners had resulted in too quick a
shift from wartime control to pri-
vate control. He said that the rail-
road managers were not prepared for
1T.
The commi ssioner said that the shift
back to private control had been
brought about by a propaganda cam
paign. instigated mainly by the rail-
road men who had not been invited
ito take part In the war time opera
.tion and that the campaign had been
$50 vigorous and SO voluminous that
1.-THE other side of the question had
been given little show.

HIGH POTATO PRICES
May BE EXPLAINED
New York Trade Overlooked
Chance to Save From So to
81 Per Barrel.

Maybe this has something to do
with the high cost of potatoes:
The potato trade in New York pre-
ferred to buy potatoes by the barrel
at VT and SIS, rather than buy them
by the crate at 81 crate. although
two crates would fill a barrel.
The Market Reporter of the De-
partment of Agriculture tells the
story as follows:
"A carload of FLORIDA potatoes ar
rived at New Yor\ May S. packed in
containers marked one and five
eighths bushels. These containers
two of which fH a barrel, moved out
very slowly. the trade hesitating to
handle them on account of being ac-
customed to handling barrels only
About half of the carload was sold
Saturday and the remainder by the
following Tuesday, but the price had
to be reduced considerably in order
to clean them up. While barrels were
brineing SIT to SIS for Nos. Is. these
crates were selling at 81, although
as stated, 1t takes only two of them
to f11A a barrel.
The crate is a substantial one, cas-
lily handled, and the carload arrived
lin excallent condition. One end of
the CRAZE Ia easily opened and in
practically half the time that 1t takes
to open q barrel. However, the buy
ers were mot anxious to take them
at compa ra lively low prices. The in
cident shows with what reluctance
the trade txAcomes accustomed to new
containers"
