CAR SHORTAGE TO
CAUSE TROUBLE
SAILING DAYS" WILL BE
THE RULE.

According to Brunswick railroad
men. there is strong probability that,
unless the car shortage is relieved.
of which there seems little chance,
we shall soon have sailing days"
for small shipments. or package
freight, as it is called by the rail
roads. much the same as the sailing
days for steamer lines. Ihe agent of
one of the Brunswick trunk lines has
furnished the following statement
which recently appeared in the Traf-
fc World:
Definite 'ailing days for the rail
roads may come into existence as a
result of transportation economies
forced by existing conditions. 1t is
we'll known that many cars are haul
ed with light lading. That is be-
cause either the shipper or the rail
road has hitherto thought shipments
should move forward the day of their
receipt, or the next, at the outside,
else the railroad would not be per-
forming its duty to forward with
reasonable dispatch
"The proposition is to have rail
roads announce definite days on
which package freight will be taken
from certain stations. In other words.
make a schedule for package freight
movements such as are now i'll force
for steamships and passenger trains.
mo shipper moves his freight tc
a steamship dock for loading on
certain ship until he has been mott
fed that the carrier is ready to re
ceiye it. 1t is suggested that such
system would result in conserva
ton of equipment and freight houses
in a letter TO the secretaries o;
trade bodies, A. W. Thompson, vice
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
in charge of traffic and commercial
development, after saying that tard
lily handled shipment is an annoyance
said: When package freight for sew
eral destinations is loaded into one
car, it is carried to transfer stations !,
there to be sorted and consolidated
with shipments from other points in
to other cars, each having freight fo1
but one destination Hhere is a de
lay. and incidentally, a risk of dam
age.
ct is our thought that at times
ing better and quicker service for
themselves if they will so consolidate
their shipments as to make carloads
though it be necessary to hold freigh'
twenty-four hours. This will insure
through movement without transfer
with a coIcequent saving of time
and by eliminating the need for ad
ditional handling will lessen the risl
of damage
THE Washington Chamber OF
Commerce has replied to Mr.. Thomp-
son that the conservation of equip
ment and of loss and damage claims
could probably be accomplished by
bringing into operation plan foi
having package freight received foi
certain hours, such schedules having
the effect Of forcing consolidation o.
all shipments not requiring expedited
by express, if necessary"
