SHORTAGE men
A HANDICAP TO
FREIGHT LINES
Dcarth of Lab0rers Biggest Item
Railroads Have TO Contend
with ut This Time.
USE EVERY AVAILABLE CAR
Congestion Existing During Past
Months is Now Rapidly Being
Cleared Up Again.

One OF the matters taken up by
the Rock Island subcommittee On
national defense of the American
Railway association at its last
meeting was the acute freight
house labor situation. II develop
ed that all the railroads in this
district were being handicapped by
shortage of labor due TO migratory
habits of the Iaborer. AS soon as
a man developed to d point where
he is of some use, he Immediately
leaves for other cities. Ii is due
to the shortage of labor that
freight shipments are being some
what delayed. although the rail
roads are taking every means at
their command to keep a full sup
Div of freight house labor. The
wages paid the freight house men
is practically the same as that paid
FOR similar work in other indus
trial plants. The matter OF in
creasing wages for this class Of
labor is now up with the director
general and a decision Is shortly
expected.
Investigation also developed that
the congestion existing on all lines
during the past several months IS
being rapidly cleared up and
things al present are moving along
nicely. The car situation is being
COPIED with and very few industries
in this district are complaining on
account of lack OF cars.
1t is gratifying to note how the
local shippers are cooperating
with the subcommittee in making
full use OF equipment. lnyestiga-
ton shows that in a good many
cases cars are loaded from Is TO
20 per cent over marked capacity
The railroads have been accus-
ed. in order to discredit govern
ment operation. of laying down
and doing everything possible to
hold up shipments. This is abso-
lutely untrue, for every man con
nected with the railroads has toe
much pride in his company and his
work not TO do his utmost TO make
the best possible showing for his
company There is absolutely nc
foundation for this accusation. for
4 It must be remembered that never
81 in the history Of this country has
Y any public utility been called upon
TO 40 tDt NDIh IEu uIIeu at the pi eS-
ent time. Tonnage has been quad
rupled. government work given the
right of way. etc. and it has been
necessary TO keep essential things
moving and as a result private
individuals, to some extent, have
had to suffer. but with conditions
again normal there should be no
cause for complaint.
Meet Every Saturday.
The secretary's office is ready
and willing at all times tC take up
any matters pertaining to delayed
shipments and the like. or where
the shipper and receiver think
they are not securing the service
TO which they are entitled. The
Subcommittee maintains head
quarters at the Rock Island club.
and meets every Saturday after
noon, its meetings being opened to
the shipper, and the shipper is en-
couraged TO attend the meetings.
