TO CONTROL FREIGHT CARS.
American Railway Association Adopts Meas,
ures to Minimize the Shortage.

The American Railway Association has adopted
measures 10 minimize the shortage of freight cars
1t has Endorsed the American Railway Clearing
House. organization formed last January by
railroad officials OF Chicago for bringing all the
freight cars in the United States into pool, or
practically under common ownership.
Before May 10 the railroads In the association
will take ballot to whether penalty OF s.
shall be imposed when a railroad takes a car
which belongs to another road on its line and sends
It in a direction away from the home road The
association has assumed the financial expense OF
maintaining the statistical department Of the Amer
lean Railway Clearing House, bait IT was not made
obligatory on all roads TO enter the pooling ar
engagements Each road is 70 give formal notice
within sixty days whether II will Join the pool.
The pooling plan Is TO go into effect September l.
The idea OF the pooling scheme is to enable each
road 70 have on It's own rails az all times many
freight cars as It owns, and this plan would force
each railroad 20 furnish enough cars 20 meet the
demands OF the shippers. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has, II IL understood. Endorsed the
efforts Of the association 20 secure greater efi-
cheney Of cars by aecelerating their daily move
ment Il is estimated that IL the average time OF
detention OF freight cars CT terminals by shippers
were reduced one day. there would be liberated for
service more cars than all the manufacturers in
the United States can build IN g whole year.
