RAILROADS FEAR CAR
SHORTAGE DURING FALL

The federal railroad administration
is anticipating one of the heaviest
movements of freight this fan that the
railroads ave ever experienced, and Is
exerting every effort to effect further
conservation of rolling stock and equip
ment.
One of the local railway officials CAV
out the following statement Tuesday:
There Is considerable apprehension
among railroad officials over the entire
country regarding a serious car short
age, which it is thought will be upon
us within the next few weeks and con
tinue through the fall and winter.
there Is a reasonable supply of freight
equipment at present, local railroad
officials have received instructions from
their chief officers to institute a Wig
orous campaign with al loutside oper-
ating and traffic representatives in an
endeavor to induce. all shippers and
c~onsignees to load freight equipment to
the maximum. 1t is plain that the in
terests of the shipper and the carrier
in this matter are identical, and it Is
hoped that our Southern shippers and
receivers will heed the timely warning
and exert themselves to their utmost In
an effort for maximum freight car load
ing. The shipping public's active and
whole hearted cooperation in the mat
ter of increased freight car loading will
go a long way toward averting the i'm
pending serious shortage of freight car
equipment over the entire country"
