SAYS THE ROADS ARE PARTIAL
Many Shippers Are Complaining to In
dustriaI Court of Discrimination
in Supplying Cars.

That many shippers in Kansas be-
HeYe they are being Disseminated
against in the distribution Of cars, is
the statement issued recently by the
commerce department of the indus
trial court under Judge A. E. Helm,
commerce counsel P E. Conway,
transportation manager for the depart
ment, cited several letters to the de-
partment from shippers angrily de-
handing that they receive cars
equally with other shippers.
All shippers are not receiving cars.
Conway said, because an acute car
shortage exists and no relief so far is
shown in securing more cars.
Matters OF this kind properly come
under this department, said Mr.. Con-
way, land we receive many inquiries
and demands from shippers every day.
An acute car shortage exists. But
there is no substantial evidence Of dis
elimination in the distribution of
cars. The utmost good feeling exists
between this department and oper-
ating Officials Of the Kansas lines and
we are working together to secure
every aid for the shipper that is pos
sible"
The letter which caused the state
ment to be issued and which was sim
liar to many more charging discrim-
ination, is from coal operator who
says he can't hold his men in the
mines unless they get more work, and
he can't get cars SO they can work.

NATION DEPENDS on
FARMERS And WILL
RETURN SQUARE DEAL
BY LYLE FREMONT.

Representatives Of various agri-
cultural organizations Will meet in
Washington this week 10 confer on
plans for protecting the raisers Of
wheat. cotton, wool and livestock
against what are said 70 be attempts
on the part of spectators and other
agencies 20 force down the prices Of
these products.
The claim is made that any mark
ed lowering OF prices on the pro-
ducts OF the farm, without a reduc-
ton in the costs Of articles that
enter into the operation OF the farm
Will result in great injury 70 pro
ducers and will constitute a reason
for a great falling off in grain and
other agricultural yields.
Practically everything which the
farmer must buy 10 raise and mar
ket his crops has greatly advanced
in price. and workers can only be
obtained by the payment OF wages
that form a large item in the total
cost when the farm products are
ready for marketing. 1t need not
be surprising II many farmers de-
cline 70 take chances on crops into
which they must put so much OF
money and labor.
II must be said 10 the credit Of
representatives Of agricultural in
terests that they do not ask any
thing that is not granted 70 other
producers. All they want is the OPP
portunity of making a reasonable
profit on the investment they must
make in land and equipment and for
the raising OF crops. Farmers may
easily reduce their production p per
cent, but 10 do so would advance
prices probably above what they are
at present. II farmers must submit
TO marked reductions in the prices
Of their products. they have a right
70 demand that they be given lower
prices on the things which they
must buy 10 produce their crops. II
is a case Of giving the square deal.
