Excerpt from Testimony Taken by Interstate Commerce Commission: At Minneapolis, Minn;, December 17, 18 and 19, 1906, and at Chicago, Ill;, December 20 and 21, 1906, in the Matter of Car Shortage and Other Insufficient Transportation Facilities and Reports Thereon by Commissioners Lane and Harlan

The inquiry will be prosecuted in other portions of the country, but it is appropriate that it should open here, because it was prompted by the facts which developed at the hearing recently had in this City covering the relations of the grain elevators and the railroads, wherein it appeared that a large number of line elevators were at that time filled with grain and had been closed; that the grain buyers had in some cases posted notices upon their elevators stating that they could no longer buy grain because the railroads had failed to move the grain already on hand, and that as a result many of the farmers of the Northwest, being unable to market their crops, were without funds to meet their obligations or provide against the demands of the oncoming winter.
