tho necessary steps to eliminate ali
delays chargcable TO them.
The failure of car supply is for
tho most part due TO failure OF car
movement
The congestion of terminals is the
ever present feature ut times or such
failure.
Where II Hurts shipper.
Delay by carriers in removing cars
after they have been unloaded and
placing them whore needed. and Slow
movement in transit, prevent shippers
from obtaining cars promptly.
The methods OF operation OF term
inals and OF the lines are under tho
control Of the carriers
Company material should also BIO
unloaded with tho Same dispatch that
lis required of shippers.
Some railroads havo q reasonably
adequate equipment for their business.
Others fall short OF their public obl-
cation In providing equipment, and
prefer TO pay O low per diem, and use
largely the equipment of other roads.
Tho per diem is nxed by the American
Hallway Association. and Is. therefore,
under the control of the carriers.
AT this season of the year. the per
diem should be higher. Instead OF s.
centS it should be 81. in order to in
sure prompt return OF equipment TO
the owning road
Tho commission is moved to issue
this circular by It's desire to save both
carriers ana shippers from the loss oc-
casioned by failure OF cnr supply, and
by It's knowledge that measures such
as here suggested have operated in past
seasons TO save all concerned from
heavy losses.
The Interstate Commerce Comnia-
sion and some State commissions have
Issued circulars in substance tho same
as this. and 1t Is TO be hoped that there
yin be response in cooperative effort.
