PLANS TO RELIEVE

American Railway Association
Secures Agreement by
Eastern Lines.
MAY PENALIZE ROADS

The American Railway Association H.
sued yesterday a statement concerning
the present car shortage on Western
railroads, prepared by It's car service
commission. of which Fairfax Harrison.
chairman OF the Southern Railway. is
chairman, and announcing energetic
steps or the part of the association 10
relieve the situation.
The principal steps are 10 be taken
through an agreement OF the Eastern
Poads to certain relief measures. The
roads will he carefully watched by the
association, and the executive nm
tee has been empowered To impose fines
on roads not living up 10 its car service
rules.
Tho commission states that there Is
q shortage of cars In the territory west
Of Chicago. extending from the Twin
Cities to ST. Louis and Kansas city.
and west to Denver. and a similar short
age OH the Pacific slope. on February
1. Il states. Western railroads owning
&02 .247 box cars had on their lines only
360.017 cars. while Eastern railroads
owning 757.744 cars had on their lines
e57. 203. an excess Of almost 100000.
The commission outlines the follow
ing causes for tho situation: The In
crease OF exports from the Atlsntic
ports. combined with all the shortage
Of ocean going tonnage resulting from
various causes. the increase in ship
ments of raw material and coal 10
industries cas-, OF the A~lleghanies which
has accompanied this increase IN eA
ports. the fear o; q coal strike which has
I'D 10 great purchases and shipments
of coal and the extraordinarily difficult
weather conditions in and about New
York during the last two months.
It's views on relief measures were
yet forth in = letter to the executive
committee Of the association which has
been forwarded TO the Interstate Com
merce Commission. It recommends
II. That the Eastern railroads sha,l
make a strong effort IN good faith 70
return box cars westhound in excess
Of at least 20 per cent. shove what they
receive from their Western connections
"c. That the Western railroads MAKE
a strong effort 10 discourage the load

IS. That shippers in the East he
urged 10 refrain from ordering freieh,
in excess Of their ability to promptly

~. The action 81 the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission in granting the re
auest Of the railroads for decreased free

John r. Ryon, an extensive owner Of

plaintiff at the suggestion Of his counsel,

that he urged MIR. Ryon to bring the
suit after he had talked with Col. r. s.

"He said that In this subway agitation
he didn't think II was possible to pro-
