Roberts, James Carson, w. E. Ray

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE
AGAIN IN PROSPECT

The following statement was
authorized today by the Regional
Directors Office, Southern Region,
United States Railroad Administra-
ton:
another shortage of freight cars
is in prospect for the coming fall and
winter. Instead of the surplus of
equipment to be found on nearly all
railroads during the dull days before
the after-the-war business revival set
in, every piece of equipment now is in
use on many lines and only the mos.
careful handling by the railroads with
consistent and whole-hearted coopera-
tion from the shipping public can pre-
vent serious interference with busi-
ness.
Federal managers have been called
upon by the Railroad Administration
to utilize equipment to the fullest
possible extent, and particularly to
see that cars are set in motion
promptly upon being loaded or un-
loaded.
Shippers are asked to lend hand
both reducing detention of care to a
minimum and by care and heavy
loading so that the greatest possible
service may be had from each car.
From a purely selfish business stand
point, of course, it is the interest of
the individual shipper and receiver of
freight to do his part towards
the effects of car
shortage from which he will suffer
along with the public generally"

promptly acquitted There were
less than a dozen witnesses in
troduced. Mitchell was charged
with attempting to beat his way
on the train, when Capt. Thomp-
son called his hand. He was
drinking and he roundly abused
the conductor and made threat
after threat against him; one of
which was that he would "get
him at Grab Orchard" It was
proven that Mitchell fired the
first shot, but several of the
witnesses were not certain as to
the number of shots. Thompson
sw6re that he shot twice, after
Mitchell had fired once at him,
the weapon being so close that
the side of his head was badly
powder burned.
