FROM shipper to coy,sisnee With all possible speed

Of. because usually the supply of cars is
greater than the demand The business
world takes IL for granted that the ear
supply is adequate against all demands.
and when car shortage does come IT
comes with a shock and as n surprise.
Every one is used to receiving goods
on tender OF the price. so accustomed
are We TO the law OF supply and demand
that when, in trading, we tender an
agreed price We feel We have a right to
the goods. When people tender the
agreed price for cars and do not receive
the cars they feel shocked and even ag-
Srieved. and too often they discuss the
subject from the point OF view OF their
grievance Not infrequently they appeal
to the law.
NOW the common law enloins car

VISION TO meet an extraordinary demand
and 1t does not satisfy people with grew
anccs.
'If 1t were practicable to apply the law
OF supply and demand TO railroad rates
II seems possible that there would be
more cars and other railroad facilities
than there are now. Railroads, I'm the
hope Of profiting largely I'm periods OF
great demand, might be willing to take
more risk IN providing facilities which
would be ordinarily unnecessary In
trades where the law OF supply and de-
mand applies, If only in a limited way
as In the hotel and livery business-the
trader often feels justified in maintaining
an unduly large number of rooms or
horses. because he is repaid by high prices

all its patrons justly is to make them all
equally dissatisfied. and there is much
truth in the remark. The railroads are.
however. trying " form rules Of car dis
tribution which will justly meet any
emergency
Something can be done 10y the rail-
roads to increase their car supply by the
purchase Of additional cars. This, how
ever, is not as easy as II looks In times
OF car surplus the railroads feel justified
in doing but little more than replacing
their equipment which goes out of SER
vice. and the manufacturers of freight
cars meet this situation by a reduction OF
their FORCES
when car shortage comes the rail
roads at once order ears and the manu-
facturers promptly accept the orders. but
II becomes physical impossbility to sup
ply cars as fast as they are ordered. The
coming OF car shortage is only an indi-
cation OF revival OF industry and conse-
quent full employment of labor. so that
the manufacturers of cars have great
difficulty In increasing their forces to
meet the sudden doubling or quadrupiing
Of the demand and as consequence de.
liveries OF cars are very slow.
ION such occasions railroads have had
TO walt for their new cars for a year OR
more. This is not always an unmixed
evil. for many roads are so we'll equipped
with cars that they could not use more
TO advantage without an increase of facil-
tiles. Most Of the roads would need an
increase In the number Of their engines 10
handle properly any considerable increase
In their cars. All roads in times OF car
shortage have great difficulty in procur-
ing competent help to man their trains,
yards and shops. Most roads would be

The usually accepted Law OF supply ana

freight cars than TO the supply Of any
other form ~ transportation. said Mr.
Hale This is because the price or
trsnsportation--that is. the rste-does
not vary. 81 this law Of supply and de-
rrnd applied to railroad work. when the
demand Tor transportation was loss than
the supply the rate would fan until the
demand increased or until the cost or

the rates would rise unuI. after the
