In New Orleans, ugar, which was
formerly loaded to only fifty per cent
of the capacity. Of the cars, Is now
being loaded from 100 to 113 per cent

of more than 15 per cent per car.
Increase the Loads.

for intensive loading began, is now

RAILROADS AND
SHIPPERS WILL
WORK TOGETHER
Aim is to Make Increased
Use Of Freight Cars, and
Improve Service.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Reports just
complied by the railroads a board
indicate nationwide cooperation on
the part of shippers in the railroads
campaign to make better use of exist
ing freight cars, in order to be able
the better to provide the increased
amount Of freight service which the
necessities of the war have called for.
The reports which come from the
railroads, shippers and shippers as
sociations in all parts of the country
show that practically every commod-
ity from coal and steel to food prod
ucts is being loaded in a way to elm
mate waste space in the cars and
thereby increase the number of cars
available for shippers.
Big Saving of Space.
1t is estimated from these reports
that during the month Of July saw
ings in space were effected by the
shippers, which increased the rumber
Of vars available for freight by APP
proximately 10000.
Some conception of the efforts
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-08-27

capacity OF these cars was 27,593 net
tons. the weight of the lading per
cal was 30,667 tons, or d loading OF
lila 9 cent of the marked capac-
ity.
In addition to cooperating by in
tensive loading, a number Of shippers
and manufacturers associations have
voluntarily agreed to the adjustment
of reconsignment and diversion of ears
in transit. An example for this ac-
ton vas set by the West Coast Lum-
bermen's association on August IA,
when it passed resolutions recon-
mending that each and every common
carrier in the United States be. au-
thorized by the commission on car
service to place embargoes against
the diversion or reconsignment of all
freight, except In cases where it can
be satisfactorily shown that the addi-
tional haul is made necessary by the
insolvency Of the consignee or a bona
fide refusal Of the original consignee
to accept the shipment.
