detested car famines exists here at

one-fourth of the cars they need. What
is to be done? We know there is no
necessity for it. If the government
would notify railroads who indulge in
famines to equip, if they are not al
ready equipped in a manner capable of
handling produce,and should give them
a reasonable time to do so, and if they
fail to comply, take possession of them,
then maybe something could be done.
