IMPROVEMENT IN
FREIGHT CAR SUPPLY
The Excess of Untitled Orders Cut Down
70 Per Cent Between May l and
September /.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Reports
lust made by all the railroads of the
country to the American Railway asso
citation show that on September /, the
excess of untitled orders for ears in
some parts of the country over SURPRISES
of ears in other places was 81 ,59l, re-
duction of IA per cent as compared with
August l.
In the latter part of April, when the
Railroads War Board was organized to
co operate with the government in all
n alters of the railroads affecting the
conduct of the war, there was an excess
| of untitled car acquisitions over sur
|pluses amounting to 1852 acrs.
AS il was impossible to create ears
over nieht-not to mention locomotives,
terminal facilities, tracks and other IA
cilities Just as badly needed-the war
board directed its first efforts at secur-
ing greater use of the facilities which
Iexisted, mainly freight ears.
The object was to more nearly take
care Of all the orders of the government
and shippers as well. Railroads were
instructed to do things within their
own province which would increase the
efficiency of equipment, and at the same
time to secure the cooperation of ship
pers, eonsignees and commercial bodies
The success of the combined efforts
of state and federal regulative bodies
, shippers, commercial organizations, the
, railroads-and seasonable weather, may
be seen from the fact that, while tn,
railroads have with practically no in
crease in facilities handled the great
est amount of freight in their histor,
in the past four months, the excess o
untitled car orders has been cut dow
$ from 1852 on May ], TO lO6,649 O
: June l, to 1862 on July /, 81, 062 o
II August /, and to 81 ,59l on September
8 thus achieving an Improvement in foul
months of IS per cent.

Five Hundred Men on Link
Between State University
and Missouri Capital
WILL RELIEVE THE
LABOR SHORTAGE
Experiment Regarded as an Important
Step, Solving the Solution of Prison
Labor, Which Had Been Abolished
in Institutions.

Missouri 5 war program includes the
employment of 800 convicts on road
work. 1t is likely that the first road
to be built by convict labor viii be
the Columbia Jefferson City road, which
will link the seat of the state university
with the state capital.
Plans for the construction of a per
manent highway over this route have
been under contemplation for several
wears, and the drafting of Missouri 5
fquota caused a labor shortage which
definitely Prison labor became the so
luton as a result of the abolition this
wear of the prison contracts. The ma
tional committee on prisons and prison
labor had fought the contract system of
labor steadily since 1911, and victory
finally was due largely to the efforts of
Coils Lovely, vice president Of the
International Boot and Shoe Makers
union, and Judge William IL. Wadhams
chairman of the legal committee of the
tional committee on prisons and prison
labor.
r rhe step taken by Missouri illustrates
t 1 serious consideration which the coun

 Everything in this spectacle of devastation discloses a method of such implacable and striking uni formity that it is impossible not to see in it the execution of rigorous ly prepared plan" says the commis- sion in it's report. "All this was done at the same time and with the same ferocity, in order to bring about misery, inspire terror and create desperation" :.
 At the beginning of October, the report affirms, inhabitants of Yer pillere were arrested on the pretext that they were communicating with the French army They were taken before a court-martial at Avricourt and after an inquiry 12 of them were marked on the right cheek by a blue cross.
 We have not yet been informed of the fate of these prisoners" says the report.
 Among persons compelled to leave their homes" the report continues, were paralytics and persons who were on their deathbeds." Specific details are given in the report re- yarding the pillage of cemeteries. Christs in silver, it says, were torn rom the crosses and numerous ombs were violated.
