BIG CORPORATIONS FIGHT FOR ADJOURMIT FATAL ERROR FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN WITHOUT PASSING A BILL TO REMEDY CAR SHORTAGE Statements of Losses By Hundreds of Oregon Snippers Made Before the Greater Salem Commercial C!b-Indastrie 'VUIU,;u' wuuua ouuiung uown, warenoase Managers Unable to Ship or Kecetve Grata Potato l and Hay Trade Paralysed General Demoralisation of Western Oregon Business. E. T. BARNES, Prop. SMO'M-l4i-e0'MKi404M44H444ffe)'t94-S The Jones bill In the house Is aimed to cure the car shortage evil from which Oregon has suffered Incalculable Injury the past season. That bill Is modeled after the Texas act, and Imposes severe penalties for failure to furnish cars within a reasonable time. THE POLICY OF THE GREAT CORPORATIONS 13 TO DELAY AC TION, AND HAVE THE LEGISLATIVE ADJOURN WITHOUT GIVING THE SHIPPERS A HEARING. The corporation subsidized press of the state Is mute on the subject, and will not give the people the facts about car shortage. Salem Commercial Club Report. Following Is the report made by the Executive Committee of the Greater Salem Commercial Club, at Its regularmeetlng Tuesday evening: "To the Members of the Greater Salem Commercial Club: In his annual report submitted to this organization a few weeks since, President H. D Thlelsen recommended to this club that an Investigation be made Into the alleged shortage of cars on railroadf In Western Oregon. On motion of Mayor C. P. Bishop, a commitee of three was appointed, he expressing a wish not to be on that committee, and their report on the local conditions at Salem has been completed and made to you this evening. Considering that this Is not a local matter, and that we had Interests In common with the whole state, the secretary sent out circular letter to many of the large shippers of the state, asking them to give this club specific statements of car shortage, and actual financial Joss from that cause. The replies are contained In 54 communications fro n sawn ill firms, flouring mill tlrmt grain shippers, produce shippers ami wholesalers, reciting failures to fur nlsh car service for the past three months, and reciting losses ranging from $50 to many thousands, and, In some Instances, ruined' Industries. The loss of trade to Western Oregon, the destruction of markets Indicated, besides, the loss of profits to individual firms Is almost Incalculable. The grain and lumber trade of Oregon has been largely driven out of California, and the new freight rated that are to go into effect January 1st are, from the view expressed In these letters, In effect largely prohibitory upon future busi ness. Car shortage is shown to have ben a constantly Increasing evil for several years, but never before as bad as It has been for the past four months. The rolling stock naturally belonging to thlo territory seems to have been systematically diverted by traffic managers who have greater Interests elsewhere. The most grievous complaints come from the lum bering Industries In the Interior of the state, that seem to have suffered from a depression in the market on top of which the cur famine, and pro posed advance of rates, falls with undeserved and destructive force. Noth ing but the powerful hand of state legislation oan remedy the evil. The Local Report.
