Barge line threat to Twin Cities expansion spurred by Goltra
Washington reports Senate testimony by Theodore Brent federal manager of the Mississippi-Warrior line alleging that without Edward Goltra advancing a Twin Cities barge operation the government would seize leased barges and extend service to the cities. Brent said a final government tender would be made April 30. He noted the lease signed by Newton D. Baker and that the private and government boats would compete on routes from St. Louis to New Orleans and to St. Paul. Cargo on the Mississippi line rose from 160000 tons in 1920 to 482000 last year with projections around 700000 tons for the current year.
