RAILROAD NEWS
Car Shortage Fears Remind
Rail Men of Year 1907.
--
Conditions Almost Identical
with Panic Season.
UNABLE TO PREVENT TROUBLE
Matter Referred to Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

Comparison of traffic conditions on
the railroads throughout the United
States reveals a remarkab BILE similarity
between that existing at the present
time and at the same period five years
ago, Just previous to the money panic.
The facilities of the railroads are al
most identical with 1907.
Traffic managers are in grave doubt
as to the possible developments in the
near future. The statistics for the
period ended September II showed the
first net car shortage of an import
ance since 1907: There was a slight
shortage in 1909. but the other years
since 1907 have been entirely free from
such conditions.
The railroads are admitting that they
are unable to prevent the growing net
shortage in cars, and some traffic OFF,
Gals are referring the matter to the
Interstate commerce commission for
relief The commission has announced
that it will make an investigation of
conditions. The railroads claim they
are between two fires, that the reduc-
lions of rates has decreased the earn
ing power of the railroads, and that
the reduction has been so great the
railroads upon their showing of earn
ings have been unable to finance the
purchase or get credit upon when
they can make the much needed pur-
chases of new equipment.
The settlement of dinerentials De
tween cities by the commission, they
assert, must be changed as in many
cases where the commission sought TO
abolish Unequal rates between given
points. the rates were lowered instead
of being more evenly distributed
The total car surplus on September
26 was 26,754 cars. compared with H.
$50 on September Il, and 5S,382 cars on
September 81, 1912 Compared with the
two weeks previous this is a decrease
in the total surplus of 626 cars made
up as follows: A decrease of 2,O34 i'll
miscellaneous cars and an increase oil
445 box, 10 fat and 1874 coal cars.
Figures compiled up to September
26, 1912 show a total shortage of 44,541
cars. com pared with 5000 cars on Sep
TENDER IL and S,344 cars on September
27. 1911. Compared with the two weeks
previous there is an increase of S,547
cars, divided thus: Box cars, 4,454;
coal cars, $3.50. and miscellaneous cars,

the decrease in the total surplus of
cars is 31.62S. as follows: Boxcars. A.
