1t is contended by the Railroad and

virtually all Of the so-called "car
famines" of recent years have been
traceable directly to congestion of

almost wholly to the absence of suf-

storage facilities at the seven princi-
pal ports, namely, New York, Phila

a total working capacity of only about
ten million bushels, whereas, in the

After long years Of agitation by the

to take positive action toward pre-

bills directing the Interstate Com
merce Commission to adopt means for
obtaining extensive facilities upon the
Atlantic seaboard for handling and
storing export commodities and parti-
cularly grain, flour and other grain
products, are now before Congress.
These measures were proposed by the
Railroad and Warehouse Commission

Z sspssman Sydney Anderson in the

Mr.. jacobson was greatly panied on
a recent visit to the East to observe
ION the side tracks in the yards of the
Pennsylvania Road all the way from

of cars laden with grain and flour
which had been standing idle for weeks
and possibly in some cases for months,
loaded at the ports.

affected this year as in former years.

congestion mainly affects the South
west, but just as surely as the present
evils remain, the Northwest will be

question by any means but one con-
Icerning the entire economical life of

would lay aside for brief
period and settle this transpor-

would confer lasting benefit upon the
