Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 25.-In a warning
to both shippers and railroads which
Is just being issued, the board of rail-
road commissioners OF Iowa declares
that there is a car shortage at the
present time which is one of the most
serious in years. In some parts of
the country this car shortage is the
worst ever known.
The railroad commission does not go
into the reasons for this but conges-
ton Of cars along the eastern coast,
due to the fact that shippers are not
al hand to handle the export ship
ments, and also due to the big ship
ments of supplies to the warning ma
tions. In Iowa. however. there is not
as much grain being shipped as usual
and stock shipments are comparative
IS light.
Commissions Warning.
in it's warning the railroad commits
sion says. 1.-THE attention of all rail-
road companies and shippers is direct
ed TO the fact that there is now in the
United States generally one OF the
most serious car shortages in years. 1t
is especially important that every eff
fort be made to expedite the move
ment OF cars and that both carriers
and shippers should cooperate for the
speedy release Of cars from loading.
1T is therefore especially urged by
this commission that: First, shippers
should load to capacity where possible,
especially with reference to grain ship
ments. This alone will Increase the
maximum capacity OF the car equip
ment very substantially.
Second. shippers should not order
any more box cars than they can use
within twenty-four hours after they
are furnished. The cars after being
loaded should be billed out promptly.
Third. consignees should unload
promptly.
Fourth. carriers should place cars
promptly for loading and unloading.
Fifth, carriers should pick up cars
on first available train after shipping
orders are given.
Sixth. carriers should move cars
expeditiously.
Nation wide conditions such as this
:an only b relieved b5 CO. operation

be considered that what Injuries the

Will surely fnj1re those OF all other
