FOR CAR SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, Nov, % -Rcsponsi-
bility for the freight car shortage Is
put squarely up to the shipping publ C
by the San Francisco terminal eff
cheney committee In a statement issued
today through Chairman X. NJ. Nicolcs.
The statement asserts that shippers
deprived themselves of the use Of over
A3, 900 freight cars In the central west
ern region alone by a decrease In load
ing over last year OF over two tons per
car.
Actual figures for the month Of Sep
tcmher show that in the central west
crn region, which Includes California,
show that $50, 393 cars were loaded with
an average of 24S74t tons against
26. $500 tons the same month last year,
n decrease OF over two tons per car.
This decrease represents the loss Of
|. 205, 500 tons OF freight which means
that II the same loading had obta ned
September, 1919, as was done In Sep
tcmber, 1918, 1887 cars would have
made one more round trip both loaded
and empty,
For the entire United States, the
average decrease in the load obtained
in September, 1919, as compared VIII
the same month last year was 1.9l2l
tons, representing the loss Of 1,+37,57
tons of freight and the loss OF the use
Of 2i6, I22 cars for the round trip both

The statement concludes with an
earnest plea to California shippers to
avoid wasting car space.

SWEEPS OVER
GALICIA LIKE WIND

LEMBERG, Nov 2S.-Galicia has
been swept within a few weeks by a
new wave of typhus which reached
greater proportions than ever before
at this time of the year., say Red Cross
reports. Hundreds of people have been
stricken and died without medical at
tention in villages that could not be
reached by doctors,
After more than five years of con-
tinued warning, the country is almost
without the elemental hospital necessi-
ties. 1t has been the battlegroundtof
one army after another and the zone
for changing forces OF occupation. Large
areas are burned away. The best
equipped hospitals have been complete
ly ruined and pillaged,
According to Lieut.. Col. Halban, chief
sanitarian of the Polish government for
the Galician front, the typhus situa-
ton eclipses anything ever known in
this land where typhus has always

unprecedented beginning in the sum-

GERMAN WAGE FARMERS
ARE SOON TO ORGANIZE

BERLIN. Nov. 2S.-The German in
dustrial world is confronted with a
problem in the organization and opera
ton Of councils of wage earners and
employees In many lines of industry. The
national assembly or the ReiChstag will
be called upon to determine whether
such councils shall be made compul-
sorry by law, This is regarded here as
one of the most difficult questions con-
fronting the Legislators of the republic.
The committee on industrial councils
Of the national assembly has approved
A draft Of a proposed law by which a
council Of employees would be compul-
sorry in every business establishment
employing more than 20 persons.
German newspapers express grave
doubt as 10 whether the council system
will prove a success and assert that the
newspaper industry is threatened with
strikes because Of personal political diff
ferences among their employees. The
plan of permitting councils of employees
to have a voice in the control Of indus
tries was sponsored and originated by
the Majority Socialist party. Recently
their own plan has reacted against them
for the Independent Socialists nave OBJ
tanned control of the employees coun~
lcils in some metal working plants and
have ruled that Majority Socialists must
be dismissed. When the employers en-
deavored to assert the principle that
they should hire men for what they
could do, not because OF their politics,
the Independents replied that 1t would
be Better for members Of one political
faith only to be employed In a factory
so that no time would be lost in po-
litical arguments.
The councils in two of these metal
working shops have unanimously voted
that members Of only one party shall
be employed in those establishments,
The trend Of many of the councils is
frankly directed against the employ
ment Of women in positions which men
can fill.

hotels in Berlin is composed Of a wait
