The traffic committees report
showed that during the first three
months of 1918 there were $500
machines driven over the roads 10
dealers by eight OF the larger pro-
ducers, being 80 per cent or their
production. This number OF drive
awayG relieved the railroads to the
extent OF about ten thousand freight
cars.
The roads committee, in view OF
the Increasing amount OF inter-state
travel over the highways to the re-
lief OF railroad congestion, Indicated
the possibility soon OF some federal
authority to determine the highway
policy OF the government, with power
to direct the administration OF in
terstate commerce over the roads.
The report showed very clearly that
400 900 motor trucks now in service
have sounded the death kneil OF the
short line railroad, and that, the
increasing use OF trucks was certain
especially with the building Of hard
surfaced roads,
A resolution was adopted urging
upon the federal government ana
the several states the importance OF
adopting a highways program so
that our highways may properly
carry their share OF the burdens ot
transportation.
The commercial vehicle commit
tee reported that truck makers In
the N. A. C. c. increased their pro
duction of trucks more than 100
per cent for the first three months
Of this year as compared with the
same period Of 1917.
There was a report by the ma

TIRE PRODUCTION TO

Hold Joint Meeting OF Men OF
Automobile and Tire Making
Industries.

At ioint meeting OF the direc-
tors OF national automobile cham ber
OF commerce and the war service
committee OF the rubber industry in
New York on Thursday, formal ap-
provai was given by the motor car
builders 10 the plan for simplifying
and standardlzing pneumatic tire
and rim sizes. in accordance with
tho suggestion OF tho Commercial
economy board OF the council OF ma
tlonal defense.
When the plan becomes operative
the number OF sizes and styles or
tires manufactured and carried In
stock, TO the ultimate benefit Of the
makers, dealers and customers, will
be reduced from approximately two
hundred 10 2S, thus conserving
manufacturing facilities, reducing
capital invested in raw materials
and finished product, and giving bet
ter service to automobile owners by
eliminating majority OF the sizes
and styles now required. The sched-
ule calls for seven sizes OF rims and
nine sizes OF pneumatic tires ade-
quate to equip any motor vehicle up
10 twO-ton truck.
The tire men requested the con-
ference with the n A. G. G. and
were able to show the advantages of
