Hansbrough outlines remedy for car shortage in Congress
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota has drafted legislative ideas to ease Northwest car shortages. The plan, shown to the president and to Chairman Knapp, would empower the Interstate Commerce Commission to probe equipment capacity, require quick unloading and loading of demurrage cars, and urge moving trains with overloaded tonnage. Senator Kittredge blamed the coal famine on the amended Interstate Commerce law and retailers delaying shipments, noting railroads cut coal rates 20 percent but retailers let October pass before ordering.
