RETURN LOAD BUREAUS
OF GREAT ASSISTANCE
Many Communities Adopting
New Way of TranspOrta"
ton as War Measure.

The Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States. which includes the live
commercial organizations OF practi-
cally every city Of Importance in the
country, has issued to its members
the following bulletin on Motor Truck
Transportation, specifically dealing
with a Return Load Bureau:
The motor truck is a part OF the
transportation equipment in every
community. It's use more nearly to
capacity will help solve local prob
lens.
More complete use means loads
both ways. A motor truck usually
carries a good load to its destination,
whether the destination is in the same
community or in another city. Too
often, however, the truck makes the
return trip with no load. Every time
this occurs there is waste of at least
half the capacity of a truck to do work
in transportation.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1918-11-15

Owners of trucks do not wish half
the earning power OF their vehicles to
be lost. Manufacturers and mer-
chants with goods piled up and await
ing shipment do not like to see empty
trucks pass their doors. Both need a
local clearing house for information
about the trucks hat are available
and the shipments that are ready.
e., to bring together Dad and empty
trucks.
Such a clearing house the local COM
mercial organization can easily pro-
vide. 1t will not ordinarily entail any
special expense. 1t will promote CO.
operation in the community. 1t will
render a very real service for which
business men will be thoroughly
grateful.
Return Load Bureau is a con
venient name for a clearing house.
The Bureau should ascertain the
established lines of trucks that run
regularly on fixed routes and the part
of their capacity that is not being
utilized. 1t should then obtain infor-
nation from all owners of trucks used
for private hauling, getting statements
about the capacity of each truck, how
far its capacity is used, between what
points the capacity is unused, If the
unused capacity car be made avail
able for other persons at a reasonable
price. etc. Besides gathering this in
formation the bureau can make known
to everyone that whenever a truck is
TO make a trip without a load the
bureau will respond to a telephone in
uuiry by e%ndeavoring to give the name
of a person who wants to send a load
over the route in question. Efforts
can be made also TO have drivers who
bring loads by truck from other points
telephone TO the Bureau in order to
get return loads.
At the same time the bureau can
enlist the cooperation OF business
men who may have shipments to
make.
In order that any driver or other
person from out OF town may quickly
, ascertain IL there is a return load for
him. each bureau should be specially
! listed in the telephone directory.
With incidental questions the
Bureau will not usually need TO deal
For example. it al leave the com
pensation that is to be paid TO nego
tiation between the parties.
In England Return-Load Bureaus
have proved of great assistance. They
have been most developed in the
United States by commercial organi
nations in Connecticut. Experience
has demonstrated that the assistanc,
they can render is very real and i'm
portant. and that they a be organ
lied advantageously in many Gem
munities where they have not as ye
been tried.

12,OOO Additional Draft
 Men to Be Called Out

Washington, April 10--Provost Mar shal General Crowder has telegraphed to state governors asking them 10 make it known throughout their re- spective states that the army needs about 1s.00O men from about 75 dif- ferent trades and occupations.
 It was learned today that call for these men soon to be issued will be in addition to that of last Saturday for the mobilization of fighting men April 26. The estimate of the number of men of special qualifications is only tentative and may be increased to 15, 900 or more before the end of the month as military needs dictate.
 As is usual when special calls are made, the voluntary induction system will be used so far as possible. Any draft registrant falling within the de- sired category will be given the op- portunity of volunteerin gto his local; board for service, but if the required number is not obtained by this meth cd local boards will induct enough men to fill their quotas.
 Reports to the provost marshal gen. eral will be made about April 29, it was said. and the call is expected to follow within a few days.

 Crockett claims that the shooting was accidental. declaring that he was showing a pistol to Mir. Tillis when 1t fired MT. Tillis from his bed at the hospital corroborated the Crockett statement
 Crockett lives with his daughter Mrs. J. c. Sullivan. wife of an Ono soldier and MT. Tillis has been fre- uuent visitor to the house for several
 The police making the arrest made no specific or detailed charges. MT. Tillis and Mir. Crockett are about the same age, both men being over 50 Both are married and have several children. The police deny that they have evidence of trouble between Mir Tillis and MT. Crockett before the shooting occurred. or that they were in a difficulty at the home of MT. Crockett. The statement was made at police headquarters tonight that the statement of MT. Crockett to the effect that the shooting was accidental will probably be accepted. MT. Crockett's trial it is understood, will not come up for preliminary hearing in the po- lice court until MT. Tillis has recovered sufficiently to appear as a witness.
 Crockett was released by the police on bail of 5000 early tonight. Sulli- van, who is aNsecond lieutenant ac- cording to the statements to the police, was at Camp Sheridan, where he is stationed.

Friends of John II. Wallace, can meeting at the Tutwiler hotel last Light and organized a campaign conn mittee with John B. Rosenstihl as chairman.
 MT. Rosenstihl named a campaign committee of 50 members to take charge of Mir. Wallace's interests in Jefferson county.
 In calling for a Wallace organiza- ticn here J. S. Wilcox, general man ager of the Mutual Life of New York, referred to "the straight-out declara tions of Mir Wallace in reference TO the cardinal principles of local self government of the democratic party" Mir. Wilcox declared that no candi- date in the field could be tied by any utterance save Mir. Wallace. He de- clared that through all Mir. Wallace's career any man who had watched Ala bama's political affairs could always place their hands on MT. Wallace.
 In response to demands for speech MT Wallace declared that The was ready to stand at all times for the principles of his platform and fight fanaticism and carpetbag influence as long as it exists in Alabama
 MT. Wallace announced that as soon as the Liberty Loan drive and other patriotic enterprises were concluded in Jefferson county the county would be visited by force of Wallace speak.

 MT. Wallace is making a vigorous fight to reclaim Alabama from the domination of invisible government. to preserve self-government and to de. feat the ratification of the proposed prohibition amendment to the federal constitution.

Garfield's Agents East of Mississippi Want to Pre- vent Repetition of Coal
 Famine

Washington. April ie.-Nineteen state fuel administrators from states east of the Mississippi met here to- day and discussed with Fuel Adminis- tTator Garfield measures to prevent s repetition of last years coal famine and relieve the existing shortage thdt is threatening slowing up of war work
 The present shortage of cars at the mines greater than in February when the country was slowly recovering from the worst railroad congestion in years, brought forth severe criticism of the railroads by many of the state representatives, who wanted to know how they could keep the essential war industries supplied with coal if the railroads did not furnish the cars.
 There was much lively discussion during the session. particularly when the question of allotment of coal for domestic consumption In the various states was discussed. Again car short age was the chief factor and the rail- roads the target.
 Anthracite men among the admin istrators sounded a warning that the coal situation is so acute that con- sumers west of Buffalo are mak ing Erepara tion to burn bituminous coal next winter.
