Vermiculite Goes To
Distont Countries

Libby citizens are becoming quite
conscious of the importance of the
industry that is developing in their
midst-the mining and marketing of
the mineral, vermiculite, by the
Zonohte Company and the Universal
Insulating Company. But few 10
Ieal people realize to what distances
these two companies often ship their
product
This week the Universal Insula-
ton Company shipped 900 sacks
of 100 pounds each to a company
in Porto Rico, making a total ship
ment of $4,000 pounds. A short
time ago the same company shipped
carload of vermiculite to Calcutta,
India.

The safety argument for the train
length bill "a federal measure to re-
strict freight trains to 20 cars) has
not a leg to stand on, and anyone
can see that the operation of more
trains and the employment of more
train crews will increase the cost OF
railroad transportation. says the
Beaumont, Texas, Enterprise. "In
the end. those shippers who bought
rail transportation would have to pay
for the extra trains and crews"
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has issued reports covering the
experience of many years, proving
beyond question that longer trains
are safer trains. Equally important,
they are faster. more efficient trains.
The passage of the 7O-car train limit
bill would not only add to the haz-
ards of railroad operation and cost
Of service, but it would adversely
affect all shippers, especially farm
ers.
For example, due to longer and
faster trains, the fruit grower in
California is three days nearer the
Eastern SeabOard than a short time
ago. and two days nearer the great
Chicago market. The Florida citrus
fruit grower is two days nearer the
Eastern and Middle-western con-
suming centers. The Georgia peach |
grower is two days nearer New York |
and New England. So it goes for all |
producers. Longer, faster trains
nave reduced spoilage, cut costs and
greatly expanded the farmers mar
ket.
The train limit bill would cause
more accidents, add tens Of mil
lions to annual rail costs and delay
transit Of goods from one part of the
country to another. II the purpose
Of Congress is to kill business and
industry. this bill is masterpiece of
destruction.
