MOTOR CARS ARE IN DEMAND
McKeen Says Union Pacific VIII Not
Build Them for Compel

1--WE have carte blanche orders to get out
these motor cars as fast as the capacity
of the shops will permit" said Mr. McKeen,
superintendent of machinery and motive
power of the Union Pacific" and we in
tend to do it as far as I'm us lies. Yes.
we had an order from an eastern road to
build thirty of these cars, but l hardly
think that when the Union Pacific road is
compelled to place orders in the east to
have cars made, It will build motor cars
for competing lines.
"Of course when our new shops are com
pleted we can turn out more but as we have
present use for 800 of these cars you can
easily see we must have some OF them
built according to our designs in the east.
If we wish TO get anywhere near the num-
Der we want"
