Wilmington, N. C., March 6.—It Is
likely that the truck growers of North
Carolina will suffer severe lodfas this
season because ot the inability of tthe
railroads to furnish freight cars In
which to haul vegetables.
Early last spring the Atlantic Coast
Line placed orders with several car
factories throughout the country for
3,600 freight cars. The railroad com
pany was then in great need of the
cars, and as the contracts were plaopd,
stipulations were made thas the cars
were to be delivered within a certain
period. This period is now past and
tbe Coast Line h&s only received
1,100/ cars of the desired 3,500.
The^car factory at Waycross.-^a.,
was awarded the contract for 500
cars at the same time orders were
placed at other car works, and the
Georgia plant is the only one which
made full delivery within the time
specified in the contract.
The railroad officials are greatly
pleased with the work doae by the
Waycross plant, as well as with their
promptness In delivering the freight
cars.
reasonable. He is opposed to taking
away from the railroads the right to
appeal to the courts. He has grave
doubts as to the wisdom of Govern
ment rate making even In the most
limited form, but he Is going to vote
for it anyway.
The late Major J. B. Peck who some
years ago was a well known railroad
manager in the South, used‘to tell a
story about two Southern Congress
men, Col. Nat Hammond, of Georgia
and Col. Sam Dibble of 8outh Car
olina.
“They we&' both a We tind‘honest
men. When the original Interstate
Commerce bill was pending in Con
gress, Msj. Peck, met Col. Hammond,
one day and asked him what he
thought of the bill.
"I do^xlot understand It 1 do not
know what tbe effect will be, but I
am going to vote for it” said Col
Hammond.
Shortly after that, Maj. Peck met
Col. Dibble, and asked him the same
question.
"I do not understand that bill
cannot foresee what the result will
be and I shall vote against It” said
Coi. Dibble.
Senator Lodge said in his speech:
“Legislation cannot prevent an ap
peal to the courts if it is alleged that
the rate Is confiscatory; but this Is
very narrow ground and a very
1 Incited right.”,
A rate may not be absolutely con-
flHcatory and yet may be in the
highest degree unjust and. unreason
able, and indeed well nigh ruinous. I
am not sure thaT it would be pos
sible to deprive a citlaen by l3g-
lalatlon ot tbe right appeal to tbe
courts as to the justice and reas
onableness of a given rate which is
purely a judicial question. But no
attempt ought'to be made, either
directly or indirectly, by silence or
assertion to destroy this privilege
or rather, this right. If delays are
feared, it is easy to make arrange
ments by law which will compel the
swift disposition of these railroad
cases.. If it Is a question as to main
taining a rate pending an appeal,
'either by bonds or ,by paying the
money into courts, loss t^ the party

vented by requiring the roain togr.-e
