STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC

The movement of fuel food and Other
vital necessaries is being seriously ham
pered by the congestion of loaded
freight ears at important cities and
terminals throughout the country. The
congestion is particularly serious in the
railroad terminals at the Port of New
York. Unless freight is promptly re-
moved by consignees from cars at ter
minals and from railroad stations, it
will be impossible to relieve the present
situation. Railroad ears cannot be
used for warehouse purposes without
grave injury TO the American people.
Railroad cars must be kept moving
and they must be utilized to their mix
imum capacity if the demands Of the
people for the necessaries of life and
of the Army and Navy for essential
munitions and SUPPLIES are to be met.
1t is an imperative duty Of the hour
for every citizen to do his utmost to
move freight frmo ears and from rail.
road stations Immediately upon its ar
rival.
Under the new demurrage order Just
issued, heavy charges for detention
of freight cars will go into effect on
and after January 81. The whole ma
ton should unite in a supreme effort
to clear up the congestion at terminals
before the demurrage order goes into
effect and to keep it cleared up there.
after.
[ wish to appeal to the people Of the
United States to observe the week
beginning January IA and ending Jan.
nary q as Freight Moving Week.
and L earnestly request the Governors
of the various States, the Public
Utilities Commissioners, the Mayors Of
cities and towns, the State Councils of
National Defense, the Federal and
State Food and uFel Administrations,
the Chambers of Commerce, and other
business organizations, business men
and shippers generally, trucking COM
panies and all railroad employees con-
cerned, to organize locally and to make
supreme effort during this week to
unload freight cars, to remove freight
from roalrOad stations and 10 clear the
decks for a more efficient operation Of
the railroads of the country.
An earnest and united pull all along
the line will achieve wonders in this
direction. We can help ourselves and
relieve an immense amount of suffering
if we attack the problem vigorously
and in the true spirit Of cooperation.

country that abundant food is supplied
to the soldiers and sailors in the camps
