PUSHING COAL SHIPMENT
SENATOR KNUTE NELSON is
MUCH INTERESTED
Writes Letter to Judge Loren
Cray Regarding Fuel
Situation

Senator Knute Nelson of Alexandria
is doing all in his power to spur the
interstate commerce commission to
action on the present car shortage,
according to letter received by
Judge Lorin Cray in response to a
letter he sent to Senator Nelson on
that subject some time ago.
Judge Cray in writing to Senator
Nelson stated that Mankato is as yet
getting no coal for the approaching
long cold winter. The fact that q
very good crop Of winter wheat is
about harvested, and fair crop OF
spring wheat is now being harvested
was called attention to Judge Cray
stated that the farmers are unable TO
market their grain owing to the
great car shortage, The banks have
ability to finance the farmers until
such time as they can market their
produce. He asked the senator to
take some steps to relieve the situa-
ton.
Railroad. Strainina Every Nerve.
Senator Nelson in making reply to
Judge Cray, said that the railways
are now straining every nerve to Sc
cure an ample supply Of cars to move
the new crop and to bring coal to
northwest points. The interstate
commerce commission Is also crowd
ing tho railways in regard to the mat
ter. Senator Nelson attributes the
present car shortage to the fact that
the railway commission left the com
panies with a very large car short
age. but they have placed orders for
the construction Of q large supply.
The delay r. caused BY the inability
to construct new cars as rapidly as
they. arc needed,
Ehs Grain Ten Over
Senator Nelson deplores the fact
that the elevators and warehouses
throughout the country now contain
over loo, 000, 300 bushels of grain left
over from last year. This grain has
been held for speculation, but 1t now
looks as II the owners OF the grain
would tau In their purpose, and will
not get as much as II they had sold
e three or four months ago. Senator
Nelson was OF the opinion that thit
grain should have been disposed OF
20 as TO give room for the new crop
ID closing his letter to Judge Cray
Senator Nelson stated that he had
again written to the interstate COM
n1erce commission urging that body
TO speed up the railways to supply
the necessary cars for moving the
new crop, and the movement OF coal
westward.
