LOAD CARS TO CAPACITY
Lumber Demands Mt Cantonments In.
terferrins With Movement
OF CroDs.

Richmond shippers and receivers Of
freight have received from the COM
mission on car service OF the Rail-
roads War Board another appeal ask
ing for increased cooperation in keep
ing cars working to their full capacity.
1t Is declared the demand for freight
cars is now greater than ever before In
the history Of tho country, and that
1t Is incumbent on all to help relieve
the situation.
The commission states that the abil-
lty of the railroads to move crops de-
Ponds largely upon the full loading
Of cars and the elimination of all delay
In loading and unloading them.
The movement Of lumber to the can
tonments and the shipping-yards has
monopolized the use of more than 100.-
900 cars and made serious inroads into
the supply that under normal condi-
tions would handle the movement OF
crops and food products. To Offset this
handicap and secure tho maximum
amount OF service from the cars that
the nation as dependent upon for the
transportation of food supplies, the
following suggestions are made to ship
pers and receivers:
Unload promptly all loaded cars re-
ccived.
Load promptly all outgoing cars and
release them Immediately to the rail-
road.
Eliminate use of railway equipm ent
when tonnage can be handled by mo-
tortrucks or wagon.
Reports from practically all parts OF
the country Indicate that the move
ment of grain and food products is go
ing to be especially heavy during the
next few months AS more than $780,
900 recruits for the draft army will
have to be transported to the canton
ments next month. and as similar un-
usual traffic movements produced by
the war are pending and threatening
severe congestion. the Railroads War
Board feels that everyone should CO.
operate In the movement of freight.
Keep the cars moving. with full
load and settle differences of opinion
afterward," Is the War Boards advice.
