URGES HEAVIER
LOADING OF CARS

PHOENIX, June 28.-Railroads and
shippers in Arizona are urged to CO.
operate in loading cars to the maxi
mum rated capacity in a communica-
ton signed by Chairman F. A. Jones
OF the Arizona corporation commits
sion. Chairman Jones urges shippers
to load and unload cars promptly and
to load to full capacity of ten per cent
over the rated carrying weight in
order to reduce the car shortage and
aid the government during the war
The communication follows:
To Shippers and Receivers of Freight
by Rail, Railroads Operating in
Arizona, and Others Interested:
The National Council of Defense
calls attention tc the necessity for
cooperation between all interests, to
the end that full efficiency of the
transportation unit freight carr may
be obtained.
1t is Of general knowledge that
there has existed during the past year
or more, a serious shortage of freight
cars, and that other railroad facilities
have been taxed beyond their capacity
The government will undoubtedly
call upon the railroads of the coun-
try for extraordinary and additional
service in the movement of troops
and supplies incident to the war. The
prompt movement of food products
and of commodities essential to the
needs of the war department is of
pressing Importance. Much can be
done by the shipping public to aid in
the expenditious movement of freight,
in disregarding the established min
imum carload weight requirements,
and wherever possible, loading cars to
their maximum carrying capacity
Cars can be loaded ten per cent
in excess of marked capacity
leans, have been arrested by u. S.
Maximum loading would greatly re-
duce the number of cars necessary to
move the tonnage now being handled.
The prompt loading and unloading of
cars will likewise increase the eff
cheney of the rail carriers. Frequent
ly cars are held under load by con-
signees up to the full free time al
lowance, when in many cases they
could be released much quicker. Sim
ilarly, shippers avail themselves of
the full free time allowance in which
to load cars instead of so arranging
their affairs to load and forward more
promptly.
We feel sure that the shippers and
receivers of freight in Arizona will
cooperate in these matters to the
fullest extent.
Respectfully submitted,
F. A. JONES.

SPECIAL FEDERAL
GRAND JURY MAY
TRY SLACKERS

PHOENIX.-Eight slackers, all Mex

July to try the forty or fifty men now
being held on bond for refusing to
register.
Instructions to at once proceed to
secure the indictment of the thirty
seven Russian Molokans who refused
to register June and are now out on
bond, were received today from the

SUPREME COURT

PHOENIX record in the ap-

the time which must elapse for the

There is rumor afloat that the

demanded that the reticence he had i'm
posed on himself in the face OF con-

moment was ripe. He was sure that
such a course would be Endorsed by the
nation at large. which continued to rally
around its emperor, and would also meet
the views of the majority of the mem
bers of the reichstag.

further bloodshed and rcnounces all

she wishes to restore durable relations
