NEW RAIL
RULING MADE
Cars To BE Furnished Ele'
VatOrs in Period of Car
Shortage

Fargo, June 15.-In times of car
shortage in the northwestern states,
cars are to be furnished to country
elevators for the period Of the car
shortage, in proportion to the ship
meDts of grain from each elevator
for the 80 days prior to the time
one or more elevators become block
ed on two or more kinds Of grain.
This is the main feature of a new
ruling which has been unanimously
agreed upon by a committee of the
Northwest Regional Advisory board
Of She American Railway association
concurred in by all of the railroads
of the district, it is announced by
p. J. Coleman of Minneapolis, dis
trct manager of the board.
The change in the rule is the re-
suit of agitation by county eleva-
tors, largely farmers cooperative
elevators, who have maintained that
the present rule 10 Of the interstate
the farmers elevators.
FORMER FRO Rata Basis
! The old rule provided that cars
(should be furnished to the elevators
pro rata; that is, if there were
three cars to be distributed in one
town and there were three elevators,
each elevator would get one car.
Farmers elevators complained
that this worked hardship on
them, maintaining that in many in
stances, where they had the large
percentage of the patronage, this
rule drove their patrons to compel
ing elevators.
When the farmers elevator be.
came blocked and there was little
grain in the other elevators, the
fact that all got cars in equal num-
bers, allowed the competing eleva'
tors to>ship out as much grain daily
us the farmers elevator.
