HAY DEALERS ARE ASKED TO
HELP SHIPPING EFFICIENCY

The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department OF com
MERGE. has issued a circular request
ing cooperation of all hay shippers
in securing greater efficiency in send
ing hav over the roadroads. A COPY
of the circular received by the Anchor
Hav. Grain and Feed company reads
as follows:
The demand for freight cars at the
present time is far beyond That OF
any previous period in our history
When our trcops are actually IN the
field this demand will be greatly IN
creased The car service commission
of the American Railway Association
is co-ordinating the freight trafllc re-
sources of the country in an effort
to meet this demand, but it will be un-
able to do so without the help OF all
those interested.
Il appears that a very large per
centage of freight cars are sent OUT
/ loaded only to the minimum capacity
fixed in the tariffs of the carriers, al
though the maximum safe capacity o.
the car is i'm some cases twice TINS
minimum. The bureau believes thai
a great Improvement will follow 1
this situation is brought to the al
tention of shippers and others con
cerned, and it is pointed out to then
that unless cars are loaded to tint
maximum and delays obviated ther.
will not be enough cars to go around
with resulting hardships to every one
You are urged. therefore. to inauS
! urate a campaign in your locality 10
greater efficiency in freight ship
ping, including prompt loading an
unloading. In such a campaign 20
may encounter difficulties in cer'a'
trades as a result of recognized equiv
e alents in other units of carload lot
l In such cases you should consider IN
ACCESSIBILITY of modifying for limlte
period or for all time, these eduiva
Tents, many of which were formulate
years ago, when the cars in use wef
' considerably smaller than the malol
ity of.those in use today
Should you decide to co-operal
with the bureau and start such can
: paign. the bureau will be glad to RI
ceive information from time to tin
r. regarding the methods employed an
the results attained by YOU. Sugge
tions as to further steps on the part
the bureau will also he welcomed.
