FOR WINTER
NOW, SAYS M'AD00
Industrial and Commercial Concerns
Are Urged to Avoid Danger From
Embargoes When Bad Weather
Comes.

Industrial and commercial concerns
of Richmond and Virginia may be
saved embarrassment in the coming
winter by laying in their orders before
the expiration of the summer months
for complete stocks. difficulty being
expected by railroad officials in hand
ling freight traffic under probable un-
favorable weather conditions next
winter.
Warnings to this effect have been
issued to shippers and consignees by
the United States railroad administra-
ton. Failure of firms or individuals
to observe these cautions may result
seriously for their interests. since gov
eminent shipments will continue to be
given the right of way should any
freight congestion develop. Official in
formation regarding this. in part, has
been received here as follows:
. The government cannot permit
congestion to arise which will paraiyze
or slow down the transportation of its
own traffic. Consequently, when bad
wheather sets in, and operating be-
comes more difficult, and the volume
OF trafic is even larger then it is to-
day there will not only have to be
put into effect numerous embargoes to
prevent interference with the move
AlCHl OIL freight, OUT the
slowing down of commercial trans
portation will lessen the available car
supply, not to speak OF the added
number that will be required to take
care of the increasing government
freight
1t must be apparent that no prefer
ence can be given to any ones com
mercial freight. for such would be at
the expense OF other shippers and
consignees. Consequently. the passing
OF freight through embargoes has to
be limited. Again, the distributive
share OF cars, for commercial freight,
must come after the governments re-
auirements are met and. in all fair
ness, private shippers who are for
wardtng freight consigned to the gov
eminent must have such cars counted
in their total distributive share In
the finai analysis, the shippers will be
helping themseives--they will not
necessarily be working In the interest
OF the railroad--will be helping the
government in it's win the War
policy, and its efforts to give to the
whole of the public. the service that
the people desire
NO thoughtful person. considering
all OF the above, can fail to appreciate
the paramount necessity Of gathering
in as great a supply OF materials. etc.
as Is possible even at a considerab BILE
expense to himself in the way of pro-
viding additional facilities ,investing
more capital. and the like. The situa-
ton must be adequately impressed on
the minds OF all concerned. and NV
object in writing you is to enlist your
personal interest in directing the cam
