Car Service Board
Working Out System

The Railroads War Board author.
ICES the following statement for pub
location:
To Facilitate the prompt movement
of grain and food products as well as
lumber and munitions. the car service
commission of the Railroads War
Board has ordered the Immediate dis
tribution of 20,790 additional empty
cars among the lines operating in the
south, the middle west and the south
west. This will make a total of 1867
033 empty cars that have been or
dered moved from one railroad to-.
another, regardless of ownership, dur
ing the past two months, in order to
mobilize in different sections of the
country sufficient number Of cars to
handle the abnormal government and
commercial traffic that war conditions
have produced. OF the latest cars
ordered by the war board to be dis
tributed where they will be most
needed, 1890 are to be placed in the
Igrain producing country, one thousand
of these to go to the Southern Pacific
and five hundred to the Western Pa
ciic, to insure the speedy movement
of a hugh shipment of barley. Other
roads receiving cars to accelerate the
movement of grain and farm products
are the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
the Missouri and North Arkansas, the
Kansas City Mexico and Orient the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the
Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis,
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific,
1.-The Illinois Central and the ST. Louis
and San Francisco. To protect the
vegetable and southern watermelon
crops more than five thousand cars
have been sent to the Atlanta, Birm-
! ingham and Atlantic, the Central of
Georgia, the Seaboard Air Line, the
Atlantic Coast Line, and other roads
operating in the southeast; meanwhile
hundreds of cars are being rushed
daily to the lumber states Of taes
south to take care Of the tremendous
movement of lumber to the army can
tonments and shipbui1ding yards.
In addition to the demand for lum-
her the war has practically doubled
the orders for phosphate rock during
the past three months, This product
which is essential p the cooperation OF
sulphuric acid plants and the manu-
~facture of munitions is also used as a
foundation for fertilizer. In the past
the coastwise vessels used for freight
purposes along the coast practically
all of this traHaic has been diverted to
the Atlantic coast railroads. AS q re-.
suit 1t has been necessary to send
thousands Of airs into that district to
.lprotect the movement Of sulphur.
