Assurance that there will te no absolute famines of frod or fuel in the Vnited States as a result of failure of the transportation system, adequately to perform its functions, is given in the annual report of the interstate commerce commission, laid before congress today. The commission declares that by the exercise of the priority prwers provided by congress, orders can anil will be given w hich will k. "p the American people supplied t with food and fuel. "Much was said .luring the past winter as to the danger of freezing and famine on account of failure adruuatelv to transport fuel ; and food, hut history w ill r.-rord no uch calamity," says the commission. I 1 he repnrt m:ikes it clear, however, 'that the transportation bu aness is not now and cannot, for the p.'iind of ' the war, be us usual, hut nust be 1 maintain! on a war basis designed ! especially to meet war conditions. It is stated that the newly created di- i vision of car supply of the rommis- ! .-inn nlrea iy has arranged for dis-j continuance of the use of ipen-top) cars especially designed to cany such I fss.-nt.al Commodities as fyl and bulk foodstuff.- and ores for any othei Ipuiposes. j The commission says that the en 1'aic industrial world of America is si tied up with pressing nrdeis that sub 'stantial additions to the rnili'c-ad e.pupniont cannot be hoped for in the roar futuie. but what is available must be used in the most scientific way to make the most of it. The coinmissVn is entirely silent on the row rajlioud situalinn p'v seated bv the railroad-- this fall in icspect to further advances in fieight rates. Wifh.T does the report say anything about the prop. -als for large government loans to the railroads. The report shows that the war is having a diie.-t etT-ct on the number of railroad a-'cidents in the United States an.1 resultant casualties.
