FARMERS LACK CARS

F. W. Cathro, manager and director
general of the Bank of North Dakota,
who is here on business, reports that
the railroad tangle will probably cause
many farmers in the Northwest to
leave quantities of their threshed
wheat in the open, this winter, because
nearby elevators will be unable to re-
ceive it. He finds that a considerable
amount of the 1919 wheat crop has yet
to be removed from elevators in his
state, and that appeals for more cars
with which to handle it have been met
with a wholly insufficient supply of
rolling stock.
"The crop this year will be a big
one," he said. "The only drawback
now in sight is the grasshoppers, and
it is not yet certain that the damage
they do will be very great, taking an
average of the state. If we could get
transportation, we would have one of
the best years the Northwest has
known"

social frippery to insist that the state

Consumer 5000 5000


The increase in the operators mar
gin OF cost of 62.5 may seem fairly
modest in these days of profiteering
until we look at the sales agents mar
gin, which has multiplied nearly seven
fold. The selling agents are almost al.
ways stockholders in the mines and
also stockholders In the anthracite-car-
rying railroads.
The figures given above, however,
show only what might be called nor
NAL operations. The companies have
always endeavored to get as much
beyond these prices as possible, taking
advantage of every opportunity which
monopoly of coal and railroad facil-
tiles affords. In 1914, for instance, the
price of chestnut coal to consumers in
Washington was $7.57 instead of 5000.
Now In 1920 the price of this grade
OF anthracite, as officials reported, =
$3.50, although dealers are act,
getting $14.5o.

COOPERATIVE SHIPS

luIO new YORK harbOr has steam
ed the first comparatively owned and
operated merchant vessel to dock on
the North American continent. She
is the Crema, one of the five big
freighters purchased of the Italian
government by the Consorzio Cara
baldi, the remarkable new co-opera-
tive association formed by the $1,000
seamen and officers in the Italian mer-
chant marine. One of her sister ships,
the Belluna, landed at Buenos Ayres
few days ago amid deafening sa-
lutte from harbor craft and from thou
sands of organized longshoremen and
sailors of that metropolis of the south
ern continent. Because she flew a red
flag with white letters on it newspa-
per correspondents cabled to New
York and London that she was Dol
shevist' ship. The Italian ambassa-
dor in Washington authorized an ex-
PLANTATION of her character.
The Italian government sold the five
ships, each of 5000 tons, to the organ
lied seamen and officers at pre-war
prices, on condition that the govern
ment should have cargo space in these
ships on their return voyages to Italy
at pre-war freight rates. On the out
ward trips the vessels carry only CO.
operative and private cargoes, at cur
rent rates. They charge current rates
also for all but the government freight
that is brought home
The Consorzio Garabaldi elects it's
officers each year and from them Sc.
cures discipline which makes indus
trial disputes in the cooperative fleet
impossible. It is so strong that none but
its members may be employed on the
private ships flying the Italian COM
mercial flag. Each month a per capita
tax an all men employed in the mer-
chant marine is paid into the treasury
OF the association for the purchase of
ships. 1t is expected that five more
will be bot befort the end of this year.
The tax and the profits of the fleet are
expected to yield about $1,5OO,OOO a
| month, which will be reinvested ex.
cept for a reserve fund which is set
aside for the guaranty of the existing
wage rate. If for any reason wages of
maritime workers are forced down by
bad trade or unemployment the de-
crease will be made up from this emer
geucy fund.
Twelve officers and a. men make uu
the cooperative crew of the Crema
which brought cherries, lemons, gar.
TIC and pumice stones from Palermo.

OUR WASf1INGTONLETT

WASHINGTON, D. Gin a bril-
liant editorial this week, Labor, the
organ of the Plumb Plan league, re-
views the railroad crisis.
1T is impossible" it says, ito OK
aggerate the seriousness of the rail
road situation. The business of the
nation is threatened with paralysis.
In fact, the slow1ng-up process has
already reached the point where even
Senator Cummins admits that the
shortcomings of private ownership
are costing the American people more
each day than did the war with Ger.
many when that great conflict was at
it's height.
1.-The representatives of the steel in.
dustry have notified the interstate
commerce commission that unless
they can secure cars it will be neces.
sary for them to shut down their
plants. They have already exhaust.
ed their storage capacity and it is
useless for them to continue opera
lions, as they can neither ship nor
store their product.
The great manufacturing districts
OF New England are unable to secure
coal with which to produce power, or
cars in which to carry their output ia
market.
"The farmers of the West can not
move their crops.
similar stories come from every
section of the country. Business is
good, but farmers, merchants and
manufacturers can not reach their
customers because the arteries of com.
merce are clogged."
1t goes on to point out how much
better the roads were run by the
government, even under wartime
difficulties, and demands that the gov.
eminent, resume control and operation
as the only way to save the situation
this summer
Private ownership has failed" says
the spokesman of the railroad work
ers. 1T is either government owner
ship or commercial disaster that faces
US, and those in authority should not
be slow in making their choice"
