BRANCH,
RAILROADS WAR BOARD

The railroads Of the countr! report
that on Oct. lst the excess of until d
orders from shippers for freight cars
over and above the idle cars at differ
ent points number 20 $50. This Is the
figure which has been commonly but
inaeourstely referred to as car short.
age This compares with the excess
Of unified car acquisitions ammount-
ine to 1862 on July 1st. 1915 Aug.
u t is. auo 3l,60S OF September Ist
The actual number of untitled car or
ders on October list was almost identi-
cal With the number on October LIST last
year, the figures being 97,s72 for Oct.
|. 1917 and 1854 for Sept. 30. 1916
The difference In the excess OF untitled
orders over idle cars for the two years
is accounted for by the fact that on
st p.cmber 90, 1915 as many as 34,l57
cars were idle, whereas on October /,
r9l; only p 1872 were reported as idle,
thus indicating a more efficient use o.
The available equipment on the part of
the railroads. Returns to the Rail-
roads War Board show that the actual
number Of cars aud locomotives now in
service on American railroads is only
slightly in excess of the number at this
time last year. The War Board on Oct.
lOtn had been in existence exactly six
months and the returns Just at hand
show that during that period the rail.
roads of the country have rendered up
wards of II per cent more service than
they did during the same period last
year with practically the same plant.
The outstanding feature of tn present
situation is the degree to which the
railroads arc cooperating wholeheart
