OF ARRIVAL OF CARS

The Rock Island Subcommittee of
the American Railway association
special committee on national defense
met at the Rock Island club Saturday
afternoon and continued discussion of
the various problems confronting the
freight departments of the railroads.
A plan was adopted whereby ship
pers will be notified by wire as to the
probable time Of arrival of a loaded
car so that the consignee can make
arrangements for the immediate un-
loading of the car. This will result
in less time being consumed before
the car is again back in service. The
session lasted three and half hours

It is a sticky ether compound which
