ROADS FAIL TO obey
Conn., ISSION ORIEa
Hope, However, to Remedy Pre-
VaiIing Gar Shortage.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The period
of ten days given the railroads by
the interstate commerce commission
to appoint committee vested with
plenary powers for the purpose Of CO,
operating with the commission in
framing regulations to relieve the
car shortage situation has expired
without the Ioads having taken ac-
ton in the matter.
In its order of Jan. 20, prescribing
drastic regulations designed to relieve
the shortage in coal cars the commits
sion notified the roads that unless the
committee was named the commits
sion would consider taking the the
situation into its own hands, as it
has done with reference to the short
age of coal cars.
Remedial regulations, looking to the
amelioration of the box car shortage
will be discussed by the railroads.
however, at a meeting of the Ameri-
can Railways association, in New
York, Friday Efforts will be made
at this meeting, it is said, to frame
suitable requirements for relief of the
situation and to obtain authority
from the roads for the enforcement
Of heavy penalties against roads VIC
lating the proposed regulations. In
this manner the railroad heads hope
to satisfy the demands Of the com
mission and to retain control of the
situation.
The car service committee of the
association conferred with Commits
sioner McChord with reference to the
order requiring the return of coal
cars to owning lines and frankly told
him that while the roads would bend
every energy to obey the commits
sion's orders, they did not think the
orders would afford the relief expect
ed. Some members of the committee
were of the opinion that obedience to
the new order would result in a worse
shortage of coal cars than has ever
prevailed.
