RANR0ADM-N
CARS ARESCARCE::
TRAFFIC HELD UP
Coming Strike May Mean Long
Tieup of Freight at West
ern Points

Eastern roads are unable to furnish
cars for the freight offered from west
ern points, and with the strike coming
next week ii is the belief that traffic
from the west will have to wait for
some time. Every road is obliged to
refuse business on this account. 1t is
causing shippers a great deal of un-
easIness and restricting their op-
erations. particularly in grain. There
is shortage of over 1900 box cars for
the grain business at Chicago.
One of the smaller roads is short 400
cars on it's orders. The aggregate
tonnage moved last week to eastern
territory was fully as large as hereto
fore and 10 per cent. more than last
year. Westbound business continues
enormous and is far above any other
year, especially in merchandise
Eastbound shipments of grain from
Chicago last week decreased 473,O
bushels from the previous week and
900 bushels from last year. Flour
traf11c increased 5000 barrels for the
week and was 27.000 barrels more
than last year. The provision tonnage
was unusually heavy, particularly of
lard, which was for export, and in
oreased\611 tons for the week and S22
tons over last year.

occasions. Military preparedness, indus
trial preparedness-these are questions
for experts, but the will TO serve, the
self-denial of the individual, the .subor-
dinauon of personal ambition and of
class interest to the comomn veal, these
are the foundation stones of the struc-
ture of national defense; these make for
social preparedness"
