FREIGHT MOVEMENT LIGHT
OFFICIALS MUCH DISAPPOINTED
OVER VoLU.dE OF TRAFFIC..
Interest in the Foreign Trip of Penn
syIvania OmcfnIs-Important Meet
ing of Passenger Men.

As would be expected under weather con-
ditions which prevailed last week, the
weekly statistical exhibit is bad one when
compared with the best week with Indian
apoIis lines. The week ended Nov. S. 1902,
when there were received and forwarded
at indianapolis 27,223 loaded cars, the
biggest movement in the history of the fif-
teen lines before or since. There are other
reasons for the unfavorable exhibit, and
it can be said without qualification that
there is not an indianapolis line that has
power to move the business awaiting it.
1T is questionable" says a superintendent
of motive power. IF they could take care
of it were weather conditions more favor
able. The presidents and general man.
ayers of the roads must realize the fact
that the country is increasing its business
much faster than the roads are increasing
their equipment especially locomotives.
What harm would result if the roads had
a few more locomotives than they actually
need three or four months of the year, so
that when business justifes every locomo-
tive could be placed in service? What is
needed is railway managers of broader
views. competent to grasp the situation and
supply the roads with plenty of cars and
locomotives"
There is much complaint among shippers
concerning the great difficulty in getting
cars to load and of the slow movement
after started to destination. Shipments
East of provisions, ceralne products flour
and many other lines of freight would be
heavier had the roads the facilities for
hauling them. Local business is moving
slower than conditions would seem TO war
rant, and a general freight agent says 1t
is a surprise that shippers do not COM
plain more than they do. He added that
the great problem for freight officials to
solve was how to move business with more
promptness; unless this is done he feared
the electric lines would prove more for
midable competitors for short-haul bust
ness than freight officials have thought pos
| sibe. The following table shows the num-
Der of cars received and forwarded at In
dianapolis i'm the week ending Jan. 80, and
