HELD IN STATE
Is War Measure to Meet
the Transportation Crisis
Throughout Country.

The Public Service Commission OF
Indiana has set apart next week be.
ginning Monday. January IA and end
ing January 81. as Indiana Freight
Moving Week.
The Director General Of Railroads;
in letter to the Commission calling
attention to conditions prevailing
throughout the country, says:
Unless freight is promptly moved
by consignees from cars at terminals
and from railroad stations, it will be
impossible. to relieve the present stu.
alton
Railroad cars cannot be used for
warehouse purposes without grave in.
jury to the American people
Railroad cars must be kept moving
They must be utilized to their maxi
mum capacity II the demands of the
people for the necessaries of life and
of the Army and Navy for essential
munitions are to be met"
An order adopted by the Public Ser
vice Commission of Indiana on Janu-
airy g. put into effect in Indiana, the
higher demurrage charges, suggested
by the Director General of Railroads.
Previously. the Public Service Com
mission of Indiana had adopted high
demurrage charges to stop the prac.
tice Of warehousing in cars.
"Unload at Once"
The purpose Of these very high
charges is to put severe penalty
upon wholly unwarranted and unnec:
essary delays in unloading freight
In Indiana very satisfactory meas
ure Of cooperation between the con.
signees of freight and the railroads
has been effected already. It is, how.
ever, desired particularly, during the
period set apart as Indiana Freight
Moving Week." to reach the maximum
efficiency in unloading freight cars, re-
moving freight from railroad stations,
and in all other respects clearing the
docks for the more efficient operation
of the railroads of the country.
The next eight or ten weeks will be
the most critical in transportation that
this country has faced and Indiana
Freight Moving Week" is a war meas.
ure to meet this transportation crisis
Other states will cooperate to this
same end.
The Public Service Commission of
Indiana urges that the commercial or
diately firms that receive large quaint
ties of freight and urge on them the
unloading of cars and the cleaning up
of shipping facilities. The appoint
ment of special Indiana Freight
Moving Week" committee is desirable.
The newspapers are called upon to
lend their great efforts in emphasizing
the importance OF statewide cleanup.
