Some "0on'ts" Advised by the
State Corporation Commission

i To the shippers and receivers Of
freight in New Mexico:
The war is causing such an in
crease in traffic on railroads that il
rs becoming practically impossible
in many eases to meet the demands
made upon them for ears. and there
fore shippers and receivers of ear
load freight must do everything in
their power to make the best use pos
I sible Of cars.
IL is the patriotic duty imposed
upon shippers which they should
cheerfully perform, thus making pos
sible the more effective use of cars
Unless this course is pursued. UNI
doubtedly severe and strict rules will
be adopted BY the national and state
commissions. various boards having
the conduct Of the war in their con-
troll, and possibly by the national
congress, so that we make the fol-
lowing Suggestions
|. Don't fail to load you'd car
and unload it the day il is received.
2. Don't fail to load your car to
its capacity, and even 10 per cent
above its morked capacity.
;. Don't 6vdcr ears unless you
certain of being ready to load. and
be sure to give destination when or
dering.
!. Don't fail, where possible, to
combine two Shipment to the same
station IN the same ear
>. Don't fail to supply yourself
with fuel and stocks of goods ahead,
so rs not to be disconnected by ear
shortages which are extremely likely
during the coming winter.
q Don't fail TO load, where pos
sible, 10 per cent over capacity. es-
peciallv so far as coal and ores in
open ears. lumber and other com
modities Of heavy bulk are concern
ed.
l. Don't fail to load and unload
your car just as if there were no free
time ALLOWANCE.
5. Don't ship ears To blind dcsti-
nations. expecting TO sell the ship \
ment, in transit
o. Don't ship goods merely for
the purpose of obtaining a railroad
bill of lading for deposit in your bank
unless You are positively assured
that the goods will be promptly dis
posed Of at destination.
10. Don't delude Yourself with
the belief that demurrage charges will
constitute compensation for cars not
in use. Today it is not a question of
dollars, but cars for the railroads
and the general welfare.
Il. Don't throw this circular in
the waste basket with the idea that
whatever little You may do to relieve
the situation will not count. II will.
Voluntary cooperation is asked
from every shipper and receiver of
freight in New Mexico, in the attempt
to avoid, as far as possible, the
threatened car shortage now facing
us.
This commission is being advised
from all parts of the country to the
extreme gravity of the situation, and
IS endeavoring to work with and aid
The railroads to facilitate the best
service possible. and now earnestly
urge all users Of freight cars to as
