THE introduction of the motor truck into the
! freight business, at first looked upon as
competitor of the railroads and threat to
the railroad profits alcne now has brought
about even more serious problems. problems
which involve the producers Of fresh fruits and
vegetables, commission men who sell these
products and the entire Federal market report
ing system, in so far as garden and fruit
products are concerned.
Take first the question Of the Federal re-
ports. Under the old system Of carlot ship
ments of produce. the Federal officials knew
at all times just how much Of any particular
product was on its way to a given market and
just what the needs of that particular market
WERE II indications were that an oversupply
of a pershable shipment would develop II all
the intended shipments reached market. thus
entailing a great loss it was often possible to
divert shipments to sgl1er consuming centers
where an undersupply might be indicated. The
cooperative effort possible under this system
was of great benefit all along the line from
producer to consumer.
continuation of this system, however, is
seriously threatened by the activity Of the
truck, for there exists no means Of checking up
on the quantity Of produce being carried over
the highways That the truck Is an important
factor and steadily growing more important
is shown by figures gathered in eight large
marketing centers. During 1880 Is per cent
of the produce received in these markets came
by truck In 1881 the total was 20 per cent
and for the first II months of last year the
proportion was SO per cent 1t is plainly evi-
dent that the growth of system which now
brings more than one-third of the produce re-
ceved in this market without the development
of some adequate control or reporting system
must result in certain amount Of demorai-
zation among the regular commission men who
bIv by carload lot If they buy short, an
ticipating the regular receipts by truck and
these truck receipts fall off, a shortage will
develop. On the other hand If the truck
shipments jump sharply in any particular
week, q damaging surplus Is sure to develop
with accompanying loss of perishable goods.
The trucks. Of course can lay their carsoes
at the door Of the purchaser at . lower price

than the goods can be handled by the railroads
over short hauE@that is hauls up to say 200
or so miles. One dealer in Chicago for In
stance. said that trucks bring potatoes to his
door for cents a hundred pounds less than
the rail charge from the same shipping point
In addition to the freight charge there also
would be a drayage charge of cents hun
dred In other words the truck would de-
liver to his door at q net saving Of 10 cents
per hundred pounds.
As the rail charges and the draysge charges
could hardly be cut to compete, the buyer of
potatoes Tin this instance) must seek to Sc
cure his supply from his producers at 10 cents
less per hundred pounds in order to compete
on an even basis with the truck-hauled pur-
chaser.
Part Of this growth Of trucking has been
due, of course. to the unemployment situation,
just as has the house-to-house convassing of
hucksters and sellers of other food products.
Men out of work have turned to trucking. often
going out into the country on their own to buy
produce, which they carry back to the cities
to sell for whatever profit they can make.
Farmers, too, have been moved by economic
conditions to seek better prices for their prod
uct by selling directly to the retailer, by way
of the truck in order that they might receive
q better price while at the same time laying
their goods at the retailers door at q lower
than prevailing price.
The development Of motor travel figures in
still another manner. The growth Of the road
side stand has also cut into the freight ship
ment Of vegetables and fruits. The farmers
markets along the highways, which attract tre-
mendous numbers Of motorists, fill the vege-
table and fruit wants Of q considerable per-
centage of householders. These markets, OF
course, are supposed to sell the products Of the
farmer or group Of farmers owning them, but
the presence of oranges lemons and bananas,
for example indicates that more than the local
farms figure in the source OF supplies.
The rapid growth Of trucking in the past
three years indicates that before much moro

KIDNAP TRIAL
UNDER GUARD
Men Heavily Armed Pro-
tect Procedure In The
Urschel Case
BY SAM D. HALES
United Press Staff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 81.
(UP).-Unawed by underworld
death threats, the government
yesterday continued its barrage
of evidence against the IL per-
sons charged in connection with
the 100000 kidnapping of Charles
Urschel.
E. E. Kirkpatrick, friend of
the kidnapped oil man, identified d
picture of the fugitive George
(Machine GUM Kelly as that Of
the man to whom he delivered the
ransom in Kansas City, Mo.
Kelly, a lieutenant of Harvey
Bailey, is a son-in-law of Mrs.
Ora Shannon. the only woman
among the defendants on trial I'M
der the new Lindbergh kidnapping
law in the heavily guarded federal
court here.
The name of Bailey, super
desperate accused as plotter of
the crime in which Urschel, multi
millionaire oil man was taken
from his home here last July, was
brought into the case for the first
time late yesterday.
A series of federal and state
agents, testifying after a story of
the ransom negotiations was I'M
folded and after evidence to link
the three Texas farmer-defend-
ants with the plot, told how Bal
ley was caught sleeping in the
farmyard of R. G. Shannon, near
Paradise, Texas.
The courtroom remained under
guard of nearly a score of heavily
armed officers. Shannon, his wife
and his son. Armon, were taken
from court in an armored truck
for their own safety. Prosecutors,
the judge. Urschel himself and his
family were more closely guarded
than ever. ~
AS the third day of the trial
ended, Kelly was believed in the
vicinity of Oklahoma City, and Of
fcers feared he would attempt to
carry out threats made by mail
against Urschel, the Shannons and
others in the case.
A man who said he was Kelly
and chad lot of work to do"
held up two youths and left them
tied to a tree II miles from here
late yesterday. At the same time
Texas officers several hundred
miles away arrested two men near
Gladewater in an automobile be-
lieved belonging to Kelly. The
two occupants, brothers, said their
name was Edwards and that they
lived in Wilmot, Ark. .2s...:
