SAYS FREIGHT SITUATION
IN D. C. IS NTDLHRABLE
Secretary Columbus Calls Plight OF
Merchants Sad Commentary on
Railroad Efficiency.

| Declaring that the freight situa-
tion here is "intolerab1e." Charles ].
Columbus, secretary Of the Retail
Merchants Association. speaking for
Washington dealers. today added one
road inefficiency.
The situation has become so acute
here that meeting Of special COM
Tittee from the retailers will be held
tomorrow afternoon to take vigorous
steps to relieve the situation.
The plight in which Washington
finds itself through lack OF freight
and express at this time is a sad COM
mentary on efficiency" declared Mr..
Columbus.
Freight on Road Since October.
THE sftnation is intolerable. Almost
the most surprising stories OF the great
length Of time that it takes to secure
freight Some of it has been on the
road since October last and now the
express situation has come into the
same pitiable condition as that of the
freight.
Now. the Retail Merchants Associa-
tion has not sought to place blame. On
the contrary, we have demanded that
our members do more than is ordinarily
expected. in order to move the freight
regardless of any contract or agree
ment otherwise existing. but through
it all conviction has been borne home
that the railroads are the great Of
tenders.
TT is inexcusable and inexplicable
that with the great volume of passen-
ger service that has been cut off that
the railroads should be so remiss ana
SO dormant in the ordinary functions
Of railroad responsibility as to bring
about such dearth of supplies.
"The special committee Of the Retail
Merchants Association, which was pro-
vided for at the recent meeting of the
association. has big responsibility be.
fore it, The situation must be cleared
up, and in order to do that the COM
mittee welcomes all complaints of lack
of service in freight and carriage of
any character or kind.
