Washington, Dec. 18.-A featuri of the car shortage question abou which the interstate commerce com mission is receiving so many com plaints developed today in the hear ing by that body of the case of tv North Carolina Case W.orkers' asso ciation against the Southern and i large number of other railway com panies whose connecting lines do i trans-continental business. It con cerned the failure of the companie to furnish 40 and 42 feet cars to car ry minimum of 20,000 pounds o: furniture shipped to Pacific terminali which entitles the shippers to a corn modity rate but instead most of th tJheel sei~py oars smiaUer insize an whioh the shippets Q*an pae but 12, 000ponnt'q, Vhe.N6rth Carolina 1dili4.VWk'ers' assoeition ifi compos ed "of 76 .urniture manufacturers of jhat State and Virginia. In their complaint to the commission they say that the , roads give them a 36-foot car and chargo $1.75 for each 100 p,hnds with. a minimum of 20,000 pounds.per car, thus subjecting them to paymont for 8,000 pounds more than the actual,weight shipped. Tbey have asked' the commission to compel the roads to give them a rate of $1.70 a* hundred at a minimum of 12,000 pounds, which, they say,- is enjoyed by furniture shippers in other locali ties. % Counsel, in reply to the complaint, states that as provided in the West ern and Southern classifications the 36-foot cars take a minimum of 12, 000 pounds but that the $1.70 rate is a special commodity rate applying to Pacific coast terminals only and covers a class of cheap and medium grade furniture that, if subjected to the iegular rating, would require a rate of $2.40 a liidred. The counsel furtlier declared that their inability to siuprly cars'of larger d1imenions is diuto I (lie shortage of cars all over the country, and that the railway com panies are doing everyfh in their powe'' !o ;upp', their shlippt's. e . whole of toi)ny' s< S on WTs (''l..mehd in ha:ang ti. t . ny off -r ed by the complainants in which the witnesses gave in detail instances in whi.ch the companies had not furnish-. ed the cars called for and others in which the shippers had been compell ed to wait for periods ranging from 10 days upwards .
