Fertilizer to Maine
A conference was held Tuesday
afternoon at the Executive mansion.
! fcCinnsg a luncheon ar which the
onferees were the guests of Gover
nor Mthken on the fertilizer situa
tion, which has been bothering many
users of that commodity in this
State. Those present were Governor
Milliken, who called the conference.
Vice President George S. Echos cf
the Maine Central Railroad; Presi
dent Percy R_ Todd of the Bangor &
Aroostook rtahroad; Ma.or E. EL

ence A Powers of Fort Fairfieid.
-epresen mg the potato growers , and
Frank J McArdle. chief of rates.
Public Utilities Commission.
•Seme of the facts brought out ar
the conference were that shipments
t commercial fertilizer are not
reaching Maine prints more promptly
far various reasons. Among them
are:
The freight strike tf the freight
handlers and ours no return at New
T rk harbor, freight congestion and
:m pamed freight handling conditions
at certain prints on the Boston 4
alume system, due to a single track
equipment for a certain distance on
this line the general : ngestion of
freight on the New Haven system.
f labor shcrtage at Belfast. Sears port
! and Stockton. severely interfering
: anic&dmg barges and transfer
'.a* rertibner to rail shipments and
above ail. from a careful analysis of
the afeation, it is apparent that the
actaai shortage of fdltiiiaer and fer
tilizer material. especiall y acid phos
! phase, exists that is now available
; tor distribution.
Apparently the Maine Central
BaHroad can handle shipments of
fertiliser from Belfast. Bangor and
[ other Xa-ne points, without my diS
■iiity. The same .s also true of the
Banger A Aroostook Railroad :n •
iaadHng shipments from Searsp >rt
md Stockton to points ja Aroostook
county.
The railroad '■fficjaJs announced
that uv coqMMs of the embargo
f cans loaded with fertiliser or fer
tilizer material, accompanied with
specific information as to car num
bers and consignea. would be given
prompt attention, careful investiga
tion and a special effort made to
raise such embargoes and hasten
shipments.
Apparent.y if any fertilizer ran be
located available f r distribution, its
delivery can practically be insured
by the Mane Central and Banger &
A roost ark Railroads in time for
planting- Arrangements were made
whereby any ars held up touid be
reported immediately to Pei—v R.

No Reauest for Recogr t on
The question of recognition of the
new government apparently in pro

arise soon. It was reported today
that plans for asking for r“rtirt-tan
were being pressed by revoiutionarv

been presented, however, and offi

considerable developments n Mexico
before it could be forwarded with
reasonable expectation of acceptance.
Carranza s Fata m Oeuat
f The fate of Carranza still remain
ed m doubt. Official advices threw
no light on has present whereabouts.
He was variously reported unoffi

after escaping from the hands cf his
