SEES SHORTAGE
OF GRAIN CARS
FOR THIS FALL
Conference Held in st. Paul
Emphasizes Seriousness
of Situation
A w AIT MILHOLLAN
(By the Associated Press


St. Paul, Aug. 8.-The most seri-
Gus shortage of cars for the move
ment of grain in recent years is
threatening in the northwest and is
already being felt although the har-
vest has barely started.
This situation was divided today
at a conference held by o. P. b.
jacobson, railroad and warehouse
commissioner, with representatives
from South Dakota and represent
atives Of the shippers from Mineapo-
lis, St. Paul and Duluth.
J. w. Raish, South Dakota railroad
commissioner declared that the
South Dakota crop is even heavier
than 1918 and that indications are
that severe shortage Of cars will be
felt in that state in 80 days unless
the Interstate Commerce Commission
inaugurates a program at once to
meet the states needs. .@
Commissioner Jacobson declared
that the situation is even more
alarming in Minnesota. The shortage
for hauling grain, he pointed out, has
already started in this state with
one complaint received from the
Farmers Elevator at Bigelow, Minne-
sofa, that the elevator there is crowd
ed to capacity and that the grain is
threatened with damage by heating.
O. F. Johnson, manager Of the ele-
vator, declared in . communication
to Mr.. jacobson that long trains OF
empties have passed through the sta
tion but are being sent to the docks
to haul coal.
The conference estimated that ap-
proximately $4,000 cars will be need
ed in the northwest at once for pota-
to shipments alone. How many cars
will be needed for grain shipment
the committee could not estimate,
until Frank Milhollan, North Dakota
railroad commissioner arrives here
Thursday. At that time another con-
ference will be held between the
three state commissioners, who will
outline a course of action to secure
aid from the Interstate Commerce
Commission. C '.-
\ Mr.. jacobson announced that fol-
lowing the conference Thursday one
or more of the commissioners would
leave at once for Washington to pre-
sent the seriousness of the case to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-German
economic conditions are bad, France
is marking time, while Austria shows
some signs of improvement, according
to reports to the commerce depart
ment from its representatives in those
countries.
Failure of plans for foreign loans
has brought about the new period Of

was reported, but German industry in
general is profiting by the decline, as
it gives a new opportunity for dump
ing abroad and for increased inland
sales.
Many industries, however, are ham,
pered by lack Of coal and rising labor
costs. French exchange was said to
be steadily declining but employment
increasing, and the general industrial
situation has shown no important de-
velopments during the pas tmonth.
Slight Improvement in the Austrian
economic situation was seen. The Sc
rious conditions arising in June on
account of exhaustion of British cred.

MOTOR ROUTE TRIP

City officials made trip Saturday
