Opposes U S restrictions on railroads
Minneapolis January 19 Too many legislative restrictions and government interference hinder private railroad control. Charlie Donnelly president of Northern Pacific warned at the Northwestern Lumbermen association that operating costs rise faster than income. He recalled James Hill’s 1907 statement on needing 6,500 miles of new line annually, noting the last 15 years fell short. He cited 650,000 idle freight cars vs two years ago when a shortage existed. He said regulation blocks economic management and the carriers cannot act on their own. The lumbermen backed the Great Lakes St Lawrence deep waterway project and pledged support for farmer financial measures.
