CARSHORTAGEA
FRUITFUL TOPIC
ATTODAY'SFORUM
W. B. Biddle, . chairman of the
board of directors of the Oregon
Growers Packing corporation, was
the principal speaker at the Cliam
her of Commerce forum luncheon at
the Hotel Medford this noon.
Jtr. Biddle was introauced by Dave
Rosenberg, who acted as ' chairman
of the meeting and explained the all-!
absorbing character of the subject I
which Mr. Biddle spoke upon, the;
railroad situatidn' In relation to the
shipment of the Rogue River valley
fruit crop. 1
Mr. Biddle stated that ho'liad fore
seen the seriousness of the strike and
that it Is generally known that even
after strikes have ended conditions
remain unsettled for some time.
' 'The strike situation now threatens
the shipment of the late' pears, 'and
arrangements are being made with
-all possible speed to meet the car
Bhortage which Mr. Biddle states is
caused by the congestion at the Chi
cago terminal and points east of
there.
By way of illustrating the effect of
the strike on prices of Bartlett pears
Mr.- Biddle stated that the day" the
strike was called pears dropped $10
per ton and that the calling of the
strike caused cessation of orders
from canneries.
The Bartlett crop of the yalley Is
estimated at 7000 to S000 tons ac
cording to Mr. Blddlo and at an av
erage of $50 per ton the value of the
crop will range between $350,000 and
$400,000. It will take 350 or 400
cars to move the Bartlett crop. The
crop of late pears is estimated at
1000 cars and Is valued at $1,200,
000. The total pear crop involves an
estimated value of one' and one-half
million dollars and therefore be-'
comes a vital subject to be considered
by the people-of the valley. .
As chairman of the board of di
rectors 'of the Oregon Growers,. Mr.
Biddle has made every effort and has
used all his influence in endeavoring
to improve 'the situation, the worst
feature of which is the shortage of
cars. Although lie is identified with
the Oregon Growers he stated that he
has endeavored to do no more for the
Oregon' Growers than for anyone else.
Telegrams to the Inter-State Com
merce Commission and to President
Sproule of the' Southern Pacific have
elicited replies promising all possible
aid from them. . ,
n Tho Bpeakef stated that cars were
"now In sight in a sufficient number
to supply the valley for a week and
that he was hoping for the best. He
added that for the benefit of the men
present who were representing east
ern railroads ' that he would state
that the ability of their road to se
cure the business from the valley de
pended upon tho ability of their road
to return empty cars to the doors of
local packing houses in the shortest
time, other shipping advantages being
equal. ' ;
' St. Paul Man Speaks
Robert L.'Ford, general agent for
tho Chicago," Milwaukee and St. Paul
made a short talk in which he said
that the C- MJ & St. P. was moving
freight 'on' schedule and could guar
antee the speedy return of enrs un
loaded on theft- own lines. He cor
roborated Mr. Biddle's statement that
the congestion Vas In the eastern ter
minals and stated that the situation
became ilndofirtite as to the return of
cars which 'web t east of Chicago.
P. J.s McKeown, traveling inspec
tor for the Pacific Krutt Express com
pany, stated that the car situation
was indefinite foeyond the end of the
week, thatt'ckrs were hard to get but
that J. A.-Mulchay and E. A. King
of the S. P.i In Portland and M. R.
Whitehead,' Superintendent of the P.
F. E. company were making every
effort to Imprdve the situation.
J. A.t KHott, traveling freight
agent for'the Union Pacific, stated
that that road was moving freight on
daily schedule, that as yet no embargo
had bean declared on tho U. P. and
ft hat although the car situation was
, acute tl)eU. P. P. F. E. business
which I being handled through Oma
ha Is being handled as well as can be
expected, 110 empties going west
ward through that terminal over the
U. P. every day. He stated that the
eastern ' terminals were responsible
for the tie up and that he hoped to
see a tiormal 'condition within the
next few weeks.
Chairman ' Rosenberg thanked the
speaker for their encouragement
and cited SB an illustration of the
congested cohdition of the tie up in
Chicago" the history of a car of paper
which wasMn Chicago on August 3,
which left there August 5, and which
was tied up-a few miles from Chicago
until Augustus.
Harry -WaHlier told of the Craters'
and Elks' Band booster caravan to
Copco and return Sunday and stated
so that ' northern Jackson .county
towns nlight not feel sltghted a car
avan would make 'a-northern trip on
