‘Tramp Car
Evil to Be
Eliminated
Regional Advisory Hoard l)r
rlare* War on “Food
Scalper" a n tl Hi*
Mean* of Operation
Farmer Is Big Loser
War on the "food scalper' was do
dared yesterday afternoon by the
central weatern regional advisory
hoard In lta meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce during a discussion de
voted to finding a remedy against
the evil of the "tramp car" that may
he reconslgned, several times befor1
finding a market for the food or
grain It contains.
n. <i. Willson of Greeley, tnio.,
opened Hie discussion by suggesting
Hint the rnllrouds adopt a tariff rul
Ing limiting the diversion of rare to
two frc" i ivonslgnments with a
charge of IS'„ cents a hundred pounds
for any subsequent reconslgnnients.
He pointed out that the producer, the
railroad nunpunlee, commission men
and consuniora nil suffer front th*
present disorganized condition brought
about by haphazard marketing.
TV g. M rtlrney of Boise, Idnlio,
representing perishable fruit produc
ers of that section, seconded Mr.
Willson's suggestion, and vigorously
complained I urn use representatives of
the two national organizations of
fruit nrid vegetable dealers failed to
' fspond lo it it In vlt.-i t Ion to attend
litis meeting for Hie purpose of work
ing out a solution of this problem.
"Greatest Evil In Industry."
Jtolli Willson and McBIrney d<
i|.i,,.,| that the "tramp car” loaded
ml put In transit without a known
destination, subject to unlimited n«m
I,, i- ,.f reconslgmnents before It Anally
, . lies the consumer, Is on* of th*
c,cutest evils lu Ihe fruit and vege
table Industry ff>d»y. It results In a
glutting of markets, Insufficient re
mill- to the producer, car shortages
i,ii,I loss of the irroducts themselves,
. hr sold.
|j. i;. Shepherd of Jerome, Idaho,
cliniruaili for that state, declared that
while the problem Is primarily one
for the producer and the conttumer,
the railroads are vitally concerned,
and that Ihe obligation Is on them to
assume Hie leadership necessary to
work out a satisfactory marketing
plan.
"Kvery railroad dollar originates
from the soil, the ntlpe, or the sea,"
Mr. Shepherd said. "In our western
territory It comes principally front
tne farmer. You must see that the
farmer gels hi* dollar If you want to
get your shara.
May Resume Mr*nehig. .
The western producer* agreed that
unlea* prompt means were devised for
ot,lei |v marketing through co-opera
tion of Ihe producer, coimnleslon men
and th# railroads, a strong effort
would he made through congress and
Hi» state legislatures to revive the li
censing system that was In effect
during th# war.
The whole subject was referred to
the fruit and vegetable committee of
the five slate* for further considers
Hun and for such Joint action »* Is
ultimately agreed upon. I^ater It I*
expected that the appropriate corn
mlttee* of eastern regions! boards
will be consulted so that the produc
ing and consuming factors can co
ordinate their effort*.

Washington, April 17.—While the
White House and State department
considered the situation which has
arisen from Inclusion of a Japanese
exclusion provision In the new Immi

reseed with its task of perfecting that
measure to the point which war
ranted prediction of Its passage to

•Two per cent upon the census of
1X90 was approved by the seriate as
the basis of Immigration apportion

with the house bill In the eectlon
which was expected to produce most
controversy In conference.
As the measure approached s final
vote, President Coolidge gave In
creasing attention to Its provisions.
He conferred during the morning
with Chairman I-odge of the foreign
relations committee snd later with
Hecretary Hughes, but the Impres
slon was given that he was not yet
prepared to decide whether to slgs
or veto the bill.
By Associated Tress.
Tnkln, April 17 —The resignation of
Oriental fatalism characterises the
eplrlt In which Japanese leaders have
received news of the United States
senate's acceptance of the Japanese
exclusion amendment.
•‘It's finished: there's nothing to be
done " This phrase, frequently utter
ed, seems to express accurately the
mood of official Japan. While thoae
mote familiar with procedure In
American legislation still hope some
thing will intervene to prevent the
writing of the exclusion smendmen*
Into the statute books, opinion among
the majority la that exclusion Is a
settled fact.
No Reprisal Planned.
It has been authoritatively atated
repeatedly that the Japanese govern
ment does not Intend to take any
action In reprisal for the American
measure. Conversations in responsi
ble quarters reveal thnt the reaaon
for this la that Japanese leaders now
believe they have lost the last foot
hold In the struggle for racial equal
ity. They receive the senate's decision
a* a crushing blow to their ambitions,
dearly cherished through two genera
lions, to be received on completely
equal footing with the great whlto
powers.
Bober minded leaders, however, ac
cept this as an Irremediable condition
nnd feel that they have nothing to
gain and much to lose through a re
taliatory policy. The primary con
sideration is Japan's economic do
pendenc# on America. Any policy
prejudicing commercial relations with
the United Htatee, It is realised, would
lend to egonomlc disaster for Japan.
Lenders do not desire to court such
a disaster.

The government Is confident of It#
