MUST RELEASE
RAILROAD CARS
Letter to Agents From President
Holden Of Burlington Road, Elk
presses Fear Of Car
Dearth.
MOVEMENT " OF GRAINS
Plenty Of Rolling Stock Wanted Short
" SO That Recent Tie-up
viii Not be
Duplicated.

A. c. Maxwell, local agent of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road. has received a letter from Hale
Holden, president of the Burlington
system, concerning possibilities Of the
car situation as the movement Of the
seasons grain crop starts. In his
letter, President Holden stated that
western lines are facing situation
that may bring abut repetition Of
the car famines experienced In recent
years.
President Holden explained that
congested conditions of some lines In
other territories, particularly Of those
serving the Atlantic ports, has result
ed in tying up great amount of
equipment belonging to the roads Of
this territory. There has been large
increase In general business in this
part Of the country, and there is ev-
cry indication that this business will
continue, said Mr.. Holden. To meet
this situation, he said it is necessary
to obtain the active cooperation of all
the patrons in the prompt handling OF
equipment. M
The rail head urged that shippers
and .consigners at stations make es.
pecial efforts to avoid unreasonable
delay OF equipment, thereby enabling
prompt distribution of cars for load
ing. He declared that in times of car
stringencies The payment Of demur.
rage does not justify the detention OF
equipment when that detention de-
iprives the shipping community at
large Of the use of cars.
He directed that careful check be
made of all delay at stations, how
ever caused. Bad order cars are to be
put in service as quickly as possible.
The prompt sporting" of loads and
pulling of empty cars when unloaded
and the quick release Of cars with
company material will be insisted up.
on and every employee in the operat-
ing department of the road must so
understand it, said Mr.. Holden.
Letters Of similar import are being
distributed over the western territory
to general agents.
