20 cars were delivered at Ashland Fri
day, and 40 Saturday. The shortage
is l,3(i.- -
In the meantime the demand for cars
increases, and practicnlly every indus
try in western Oregon is being damaged
according to reports received by the
state public service commission.
When the .Southern Pacific answers
to the charges preferred aga'iiist it at
Portland next Weduesday the road of
ficials will be questioned concerning an
alleged discrimination against Oregon
shippers.. Commissioner Frank J. Miller
declares that the public service commis
sion has received manv complaints of
alleged favoritism. Commissioner '
.Miller states that he has found evidence
in a number of cases where the South
ern Pacific has favored shipments des
tined to competitive points in the east
over shipments destined to nearby
points.
The facts ns to the car shortage in
Oregon are" to be thoroughly shown up
at the hearing to be held by the com
mission. Mills and factories known to have
been forced to close down because
they could not get cars to carry, their
products to market include the fol
lowing: Booth-Kelly Lumber company's mills
