CREAMERIES OBTAIN j.
FREIGHT REDUCTION

Freight rate concessions that WILL
mean material savings to shippers
of butter, wool, potatoes and other
farm products where producers at
several shipping points combine to
obtain carload rates, have been an
nounced by A, J. Mcclure, general
manager of the Minnesota Coop
erative Creameries association. What
are known as "stop' charges have
been lowered more than IS percent.
The reduction was ordered at a
hearing in Chicago last week, which
was attended by Mr.. Mcclure. When
the Creameries association began
combining part-car shipments for
movement east, the rate for stopping
at a station without taking the car
from the train was 81. A request
for a reduction cut the "stop'
charge to $3.50, effective July 1st.-
The association considered even this
rate too high and renewal OF the
protest lowered the charge to $3.50.
The new rate, which applied to
all concentration shipments becomes
effective October l.

(By United Press)

Washington, August 25.-The ad-
ministration is gravely concerned
over the problem of supplying the
country's fuel needs this winter. Ad-
ministration officials today admitted
that critical situation confronts the
country. 4..,. -"
To an already difficult situation
caused by the coal strike and the ex-
haustion of coal reserve during sus-
pension of coal production was add
ed the deadlock in the rail strike.
Even if the railroad strike were set
tie today the country cannot avoid
rationing of coal this winter, it was
admitted.
The problem is not coal produc-
ton, but how much coal carriers can
haul, Secretary of Commerce Hoov-
er stated. A mass of far-reaching
bills and resolutions aiming at gov
eminent intervention to affect prompt
settlement of the rail and coal strike
confronted the senate today. Fore
most was the Walsh resolution au-
thorizing the president to take cvcr
the mines Immediately.
