Garrett-is chairman of the Association of Western Rail roads. Garrett sent a circuTaf let ter to all railroad managers" to day. That letter started that there was such a shortage of cars that the food supply of the country is likely to be menaced. "The situation is serious," says the letter. "Right now, jvithin a few weeks of the open ing ,of TVhat prpmises tp be the heaviest grain shipping season in our country's history, we have fnly a surplus of 43,000 cars. "A .mouth ago, this surplus was almost 400,000. AVe simply can not manufacture cars'enough-to meet the demand, yet the grain must be moved from the north west. "There is only one way I see to avoid -this shortage increase rates. That would cut down ship ping to some extent, but the in terstate commerce commission won't let us do that." Get it? Let us increase rates, or by golly we'll tie up the food supply of the country! VOTE IS NOT KNOWN Despite the stories of the trust newspapers that the street car men voted to reject the wage compromise, no one knows yet how the men voted. The vote was completed at 4 a. mthis morning. The ballots were then sealed and locked away. They Aveer v not counted, and they will not be counted until International President Mahon arrives Here from Detroit. It is likely, however, from what the men say themselves, that, they did vote to reject the agreement, and that therefore the entire question will have to go to arbitration.
