FACES RAILROADS
Thousands of Cars Will Be Re
quired to Market the
Present Output. .
POTATO CROP IS IMMENSE
Transportation Companies Making
Extensive Preparations to Handle
Business Promptly Expect to
Have Better Facilities.
CHICAGO. July 20. (Special.) The
Western railroads are facing the problem
of assembling thousands of cars at vari
ous points during the next 30 days for the
purpose of transporting the crops to mar
ket. Nearly every big railway system has
received detailed reports from its agents
In every part of the West, Northwest and
Southwest regarding crop conditions.
probable yield and the prospect for fu
ture business. From these statements es
timates are made of the number of cars
which will be needed to take care of the
various crop movements along the' line
of each road. The agents are required
to give some estimate of the time when
the different crops will begin to move
and how great the early movement- will
be. This is done so that the railroads
may avoid, if possible, taking cars out of
other service and rushing them to the
West, there to remain idle for days await
ing loads.
Early Movement Heavy.
It is believed from the reports received
thus far that the early crop movement
this year will be heavy and therefore an
unusually large number of cars will have
to be assembled. Some idea of the task
that confronts the railroads can be gath
ered from the Northwestem's -report of
the situation. On a new line of that com
pany in the West there will be needed 100
boxcars alone to transport a potato crop
which will be shipped from three new
towns.
Officials of the Northwestern insist that
their road will be in better shape to han
dle this year's crop than It was last
year's. A great amount of new equipment
has been added and business in other di
rections promises to be less imperative
than last year. The company is also mak
ing an effort to have a larger percentage
of its own cars upon its rails this year.
With this purpose in view, fewer North
western cars will be loaded to go off their
own rails.
Will Be Banner Year.
Burlington officials stated that they
have Just now. a surplus of boxcars and
are accordingly assembling many cars to
take care of their share of the Nebraska
crop. They expect the wheat to begin to
move between July 25 and August 1. and
declare that before the first date arrives
they will be In good shape to handle all
that will be offered.
It is probable that a conference of
traffic officials will be held soon to talk
over the crop movement and to make
plans for co-operation of Western roads
with respect to promnt handling of for
eign cars and their prompt return to the
home lines.
The railroads desire to make this a
record year for prompt and expeditious
handling of the Western crop.
WANT COMMERCE ACT CHANGED
Railroads Say Shippers Pro'it by
Damages They Pay.
NEW YORK, July 20. (Special.)
Several of the most Influential rail
road -nen of the East have started a
movement to secure the amendment of
the interstate commerce act provision
requiring the payment of damages to
shippers for the imposition of freight
rates declared excessive by the Com
mission and the courts. This change
they ask on the well established
ground that the shippers raise prices
at least correspondingly, and never suf
fer. The agitation was started as a re
sult of the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in what Is knon as
the Yellow Pine case, under which the
railroads of the ' South, notably the
Illinois Central and the Louisville &
Nashville, are liable to the shippers of
yellow pine for between $3,000,000 and
$4,000,000 damages.
Now it appears that the loss occas
ioned or the damage endured by the
attempt of the railroads to charge a
rate which the courts held to-be ex
cessive, was suffered not by the ship
pers, but by the consumers of yellow
pine lumber.
The absurdity of the situation and
Us Injustice to the railroads is said to
be apparent, when it Is stated that,
despite the fact that the shippers of
vellow pine made an estimated total
of between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000 by
the attempt the railroads made to in
trease the rates, and that the con
sumers suffered to that extent, the law
says that the shipper is-entitled to re
cover that difference between the pro
posed rate and that which the courts
declare to be Just and legal.
Commerce Commission to be allowed to
make a reduction in its rate In order to
get the co-operation of dealers in ship
ping the fuel now, when the railroads are
in good shape to handle it promptly.
RIOT IN SAN FRANCISCO
Streetcar Attacked, Building Badly
Wrecked, Many Injured.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. As a re
sult of an attack upon the strike
breaking crew of a car late tonight,
two men were shot and wounded, three
persons were injured in the wrecking
of a building by a runaway car, many
others were severely clubbed, by the
police, and more than a score of ar
rests made for rioting.
When a car of the United Railroads,
in charge of J. Taltskong and Morris
Fellel, motorman, reached the end of
its run on top of the hill at Twenty
ninth and Noe streets, about 9:30
o'clock, and the crew was Just starting:
on the return trip, three unknown men-
standing in the darkness about 15
yards away opened fire on the car with
revolvers. Mr. Taltskong had Justl
raised nis left arm to signal the mo
torman to go ahead when a bullet
smashed his elbow. Almost at the
same moment Mr. fellel dropped to
the floor of the car with a bullet In
his right thigh.
Another car was coming tip the hill
at the time and, upon arriving at the
top, the ciew left it standing and took
the car with the wounded men with all
possible speed to the car barns at Twenty-ninth
and Mission streets. As they
turned the corner at that point, they
saw their car coming down the hill at
a terrific rats of speed. Arriving at
the turn, the runaway car Jumped the
track and plunged into a small toggery
store owned by II. Bernstein, completely
wrecking the building.
Sophie Bernstein, a daughter of the
proprietor, Ralph D. Hoff. wife and child
and customers were painfully cut and
bruised by breaking glass and falling
timbers.
An immense crowd immediately gath
ered and a fire alarm and riot calls were
turned in. The police reserves charged
the crowd, which had become turbulent,
and used their clubs freely. Many heads
were cracked and 20 arrests were made
for rioting. Police Sergeant Lane was
struck In the back of the head by a
stone and seriously hurt. He fired three
shots at two men, one of whom, he
charged, threw the missile.
The two wounded men were taken to
St. Luke's Hospital. Their injuries are
not dangerous.
It is supposed that the men who at
tacked the crew released the brake on
the car and started It down the hill.
HARRIMAN LOWERS COAL RATE
Makes 25 Per Cent Reduction Into
Northwest States.
NEW YORK. July 20. To stimulate the
purchase of coal during the Summer
months when the greatest number of cars
for this purpose are available, the Inter
state Commerce Commission, at the re
quest of the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Oregon Short Line, have especially
authorized a reduction of 25 cents a ton
on coal shipped to Washington, Idaho and
Nevada between July 19 and September 1.
For the last two months officials of the
Harrlman lines have been endeavoring to
Induce western coal dealers to make their
shipments this Summer in order to avoid
a recurrence of last Winter's fuel scarc
ity. The difficulty then in supplying coal
to the Western Btates grew partly out of
shortage of equipment and partly from
the fact that orders were delayed until
weather conditions made freight move
ment slow and difficult.
The Union Pacific, therefore, took the
unusual step of applying to the Interstate
MORE HELP AT P0ST0FFICE
Shipley's Salary Raised and More
Assistants Allowed.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 20. On recommendation of
Senator Bourne, the Postofflce Depart
ment today authorized an Increase in the
salary of Assistant Postmaster Shipley
ot Portland from $1900 to $2500, to be ef
fective July 1, 11X17.
The Senator strongly urged the De
partment to create the offices of as
sistant superintendents of delivery, reg
istry, malls and money orders, bnt funds
are well-nigh exhausted, and this request
cannot be granted at the present time,
but the Department Is willing, by re
quest of Postmaster Minto, to designate
four clerks at $1200 salary or higher to
act as assistants to the various superin
tendents until such new offices can be
created.
Postmaster Minto was much gratified
last night to hear of the advance in
the salary of his assistant, Mr. Shipley,
and of the changes made in the other
departments. He had asked the Depart
ment for the appointment of assistants
to the superintendents of delivery, reg
istry, mails and money orders, and still
hopes that these may soon be allowed.
In the meantime it will greatly facili
tate the work of the office to have the
four clerks appointed to act as assistant
superintendents. The grpat Increase of
business in the office has crowded the
heads of the various departments for
some time. Mr. Minto believes that ex
tra clerical help will be allowed to take
the place of those made acting superin
tendents, but will not be certain of thir
point until he receives advices from the
Department.
