Continuing, Justice Griffith said:

had no grounds Of belief as to any
particular person or persons who

from this record is that he had
grounds to believe that the flee

this, as stated was not sufficient.
HE and his posse had, therefore
no right to arrest the fleeing me-

them. and emphatically no right to
shoot at them or anyone Of them
while they were fleeing, however
sincerely under a mistaken notion
of his authority under the law,
he may have thought he had a

20, 466 BOxCARs

When serious boxcar shortage .ast Fall
blocked the full movement of new grain
and other commodities to markets, Great
Northern then gave shippers in its territory
indisputable facts behind that deplorable
situation.
Today = seven months later - Great
Northern is obligated to advise shippers that
there has been no improvement IN the box
csz supply on ifs lines. FactuaIly, the car
situation now is worse than in August,
and the railway proposes to again tell why.
Great Northern is not receiving its de-
served, proportionate share of boxcars be-
cause other lines, principally those in
the East, are using them.
This railway owns 49, 89 boxcars, a very
large number of them top-grade, built es-
pecially for hauling grain, forest products
and other commodities requiring protection
from weather.
On March 10, 1e47, Great Northern had
on it's line only 1877 boxcars, which repre-
sented ST. per cent of the railways total
ownership. The important fact in those
figures is that only 1898 of the 1877
cars were Great Northern-owned. The
other lO,414 boxcars on the railway on that
date belonged to other railways, and far too
many Of them were unfit for transporting
grain, -four and dressed lumber.
Where are 2o,466 Great Northern box
cars, which are so desperately needed by
shippers along the railway?

Boxcars do lot Of travelling. They roll
from coast to coast and over both borders.
Yet, Great Northern has strong convictions,
based on observations and Association of
American Railroads statistics that most of
our truant cars are working for lines East of
the Mississippi River
The association reported on Febru-
airy (the most recent figures availabIe)
that boxcar possession on all rail-
roads in the Eastern and Allegheny ter
ritories, then was 11O.1 and 1881 per
cent, respectively, of ownership.
The same association, ofwhieh Great
Northern is a member, consistently has
promised relief for shippers on the
raiIway-and with equal consistence.
has failed to effect any appreciabIe i'm
proven1ent in getting our own cars
back home.
Lack of materials for new car construc-
ton has, of course, contributed to the box
car headache. Great Northern has been un-
able to obtain materials for building 500 new
boxcaHs, authorized almost a year ago.
The railway industry has been told that
an increasing amount of steel and lumber
viii be available for new car construction.
It viii be year or more before enough
boxcaTs can be built to bring tic supply
back to normal.
Meanwhile, Great Northern intends to
continue its daily fight for an equitable sup
ply of boxcars-its own, preferabIy-for
shippers on the railway.
