AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS
SNATCH ALL FORMS OF CARS
FOR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS

material has held up the placing of
the additional freight cars in SER
vice. AS a notable example of what
the railroads are doing, it might be
mentioned that tho Santa Fe and
other western roads are sending trains
of empties back to the automobi
centers instead of holding them at
their destinations for loads to take
back.
In line with the endeavors of the
railroads, the car makers are instruct
ing their dealers that under no cir
cumstanceS must they use the freight
cars for storage of their machines,
but they must unload them irnmedi
ately on arrival In the past this
has been one cause of delay in get
ting the cars back, but it is believed
that this situation has greatly i'm
proved. for the dealers recognize the
need of cooperation for the good of
all concerned.
A considerable factor in the present
dearth of freight cars is the tie-up in
the east. according to one of the traf-
nc men here, His concern has 50
carloads tied up in Norfolk, Va, wait
ing to be loaded on steamers. and
doubtless there are many other such
instances. There is no place to store
the auto11 obiles pending their being
put on the ships, and consequently
they are letting them lie in the freight
cars. This is quite prevalent at all
the export points, and is being prac-
tised by many Of the makers. Due
to this and other causes of congestion
in the east, the Lake Shore, for in
stance, has been holding up ship
ments for eastern points far back
on its lines as Toledo. Then. too,
other industries are demanding a
great many cars, war shipments are
very large, and the whole com bina-
ton of circumstances at the present
time is making it a puzzle to move
the output. One day last week, as
an instance, there were only Is auto
mobile freight cars received in the
whole city of Detroit. That, how
ever, was an exceptionally bad day.
A side1ight on the very serious ship
ping situation is the added cost to
the car makers of each car shipped
through in utilizing other than auto
mobile box cars. Whenever flats have
to be pressed into service, there is an
additional item of expense where tar
paulins are used, for these have to
be sent back to the factory. If it is
necessary to box in a gondo1a, car,
there is a large cost item to be con-
sidered. Loading crews must be
larger and this adds to the cost. TAX
ing everything into consideration, one
big shipper of cars said that it costs
from So to SO more per automobile
to ship them than 1t did when condi-
tions were better and it was easier
to get the right sort of freight. equip
ment.
1t is indeed depIorable that at a time
when it seems impossible to meet the
demand for ears, the makers should
be handicapped by the shipping trou-
Bile. It has meant, and will continue
to mean. curtai1ment of the produc-
ton of cars to adjust the output to
transportation facilities.

UNITED STATES
FAR FROM FULL
OF AUTOMOBILES
Business Is Not Yet Developed
to Anywhere Near Its
Maximum.

Although the increase in the mum
Der of automobiles registered in 1915
is "A per cent. higher than the In
crease shown in 1914 over 1913, there
yet remains very large disabilities for
increase before the much discussed
saturation point of the country is
reached The error is frequently
made of using the total of cars man
ufactured as the criterion instead Of
the total registrations in the country.
A considerable percentage of auto
mobiles manufactured are exported.
This approximated $4,000 for the past
year. 1t will in all probability in
crease rapidly when normal conditions
are restored, when ocean shipping
rates are back to normal. America
is bound to benefit after the war, in
that many Of the European countries
will not be ready to carry on their ex-
port trade as they have done in the
past.
The saturation point of the country
is yet far off. Take one state, for
example. Minnesota has 156. 900
farmers. The average farm is III
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-02-22

acres The average value per farm
is almost $4,000. These farmers
have enjoyed two of the most success
ful years in, their career. OF the
Is 1000 farmers, only $4,000 own au-
tom obiles to date. Conservative fnan-
cia1 men of that territory say that
100000 are financially able to own
cars. With the present bumper
crops and high prices, this number
can be increased. To Minnesota add
a dozen of the other great agricul-
tural states of the Mississippi Valley.
You soon have a total of well over
I, 100000 farmers located in the most
fertile area in the country These
farmers can absorb the entire supply
of cars. But when you subtract ex-
port figures, and those annually de-
stroyed in wear and tear, you find
that the saturation point is not COM
ing so rapidly as many would have
you believe. While the saturation
point for high-priced cars was look
ed for a few years ago, it is satisfac-
tory to know that each year sees the
boundary of high-priced selling zones
constantly extended, and at present
high-priced cars are being sold in cit
les and towns where manufacturers
thought sales impossible a few years
ago. Some of these sales are due
to large crops. some to higher live
stock prices, oilers to higher prices
for minerals. and others to improved
stock prices and general industrial
improvements. From year to year
varying conditions are going to occur
and so with normal advancement the
saturation point is being pushed back
a little each year and the field of au-
tomobile consumption correspondingly
extended.

Three times this year, meetings were
called for the purpose Of stirring up
interest in the motor sport. but there
was nothing done toward putting on a
race. But when the Motor Cups
Holding Association refused to grant
either the Vanderbilt Cup or Grand
Prix for any course less than eight
miles in length, Santa, Monica woke
up. Two meetings were held and a
committee was appointed to make for

NEW OFFER TO RAIL. HEADS
BY WlLSoN-coNGRESS MAY o.
ACT TO AVERT STRIKE
Washington, Aug. 2s.-President
Wilson today presented a new pro-
posal to the railroads of the country
by which he hopes to avert threat
ened final break between the roads
and the railroad brotherhoods and
the inevitable industrial crisis that
would follow.
1t was this new plan of the presi-
dents, it became known this after
noon, that resulted in deferring the
conference with the railway presi-
dents scheduled for 10 o'clock at the
white house. It was likely to defer
this conference again beyond the
hour of 2:3O, the new time set, it was
indicated. It has become apparent
the president did not intend to hear
the sO-called final terms of the rail-
way heads while he considered there
was possibility of obtaining radical
changes in the terms.
Indicating belief on presidents
part that chances of averting threat
ened break have grown slender, his
call on congress is said to be not
only for legislation to aid in prevent
ing strike, but to handle strike
should it occur. He was said to be
ready to appeal to congress for leg
islation along the following lines:
Such as might aid in prevention of
strike should all his own efforts fail.
Providing adequate legal method
for immediate settlement should the
strike occur.
Provisions for handling situation.
keeping trains moving, ETC., while
strike is on. President was informed
that legislation such as he had in
mind could be put through congress
at this session, according to best
judgment of Sen. Newlands, who
said he had made a careful canvass.

plOyes, unless they were prepared
with some entirely unexpected move,
apparently were certain to order a
strike.
All manner of reports were cur
rent today as to presidents next
move. Indications were, however,
that he would go before congress i'm
mediately and urge passage Of meas
ure drawn along lines of Canadian
Disputes Act, providing for inVesti-
cation of all industrial disputes by
commission.
Such commission would have the
power of forcing mediation and in
VestigatiOn, but would have no power
of enforcing it's findings. Public opin-
ion, however, it is said, has in a ma
jority of cases served as a lever in
forcing acceptance of the commits
sion's reports. Such a bill would be
passed and utilized before any strike
which might be called by the en-
ployes could actually get under way
and in the hope that it would pre-
vent it.
To assist in settlement, should a
strike arise, a bill increasing the
membership of the interstate COM
merce. commission from seven to nine
members, with authority to divide
into groups, is practically agreed on.
