Railroads Face Inquiry Into National Car Shortage
Washington December 2 The interwar commerce commission will probe an alleged nationwide car shortage. Commissioner Franklin K Lane said the commission will study the northwest first, with farmers reporting railroads favoring other traffic and failing to move grain to market amid high prices in Minneapolis and Chicago. Authorities seek data on freight offered and reasons for nonshipment, noting millions of freight cars awaiting handling and questioning whether a true car shortage exists or fault lies in car distribution. Northwest Dakota and Minnesota farmers stack wheat in elevated piles while Chicago Milwaukee Minneapolis Duluth and Superior terminals appear to have ample space for grain storage.
