Sixty.five Cars Wasted.

Where it is impossible or impracti-
cable for a shipper to load a car above
minimum capacity, the railroads cannot
refuse the shipment, but If necessary
they car switch the a to their local
freight houses and load it to maximum
capacity with mixed freight, This. OF
course, would delay to some extent the
delivery Of the carload shipment, but il
would move just that much more ton
mage.
Prompt unloading Of cars delivered by
one line entering Memphis last week
would have saved 65 cars for one day,
Some Of these cars were held five days
before unloaded. Thus this one rail.
road could have run one additional train
out of Memphis last week if the cars
delivered to its customers had been
unloaded within "a hours after receipt
at their unloading tracks, The same
conditions existed on all the other lines,
it is said, which means that probably
five or six full trains of freight for
which shipping was badly needed, could
have been moved asst week. Since the
cars were not made available for other
use by prompt unloading, these five
trains of freight had to be held over
to further congest the shipping this
week.
The railroad officials are not attach
ing any censure to these shippers, know
ing that the shippers are as anxious to
relieve the situation as anyone, since
it is the shipper that faces the biggest
loss through a car shortage, but the loss
in transportation is due to lack OF
knowledge of the situation and the
means of ~remedying it, traffic officials
believe, and 1t is the purpose, through
cooperation with the commercial organi-
cations and the shippers, to bring about
a better understanding of how the prob
lem Of the a shortage can be solved.

can be made 10 carry double, and In
some instances triple the normal amount
OF tonnage. Since many OF the ship
pers are not familiar with the methods
suggested, the railroads have assigned
their travelling freight agents and
freight service agents TO calling per-
sonally on The, shippers or the line, in
order 10 assist In solving each shippers
individual problems in connection with
the saving of shipping space.
During the past week the regional
directors have called n the traffi@ men
or each line under their jurisdiction
for conferences on the conservation OF
freight equipment. The freight car
shortage this fall and winter is adj
mltted to be very critical, but with
proper care ii Is believed the situation
can be handled successfully.
1t is the plan to appeal to all
n local organizations representing
shippers, such as the Chamber Of Com :
merce, the Memphis Merchants eX-
change, the Memphis Freight bureau,
h Cotton exchange. Southern Hard
wood Traffic association, the Wholesale
Grocers' association, and other CONNER
cial organizations, to take the matter
up with the shippers they represent and
by circular letters and personal inter-
views urge the adoption of the admin
lstration's recommendations for con-
serving tonnage. The railway traffic
men Will assist in his work, but the
number Of such men the railroads have
available is not sufficient to reach all
h shippers with the dispatch neces-
sary to prevent a serious waste of cars.
Shippers are said to be anxious TO
cooperate with the railroads in carry
ing out conservation plans, where they
are advised as to how to proceed.
Travelling freight agents are calling on
the shippers and receivers OF freight
along the lines. In one instance one
of the road contractors was found UNI
loading gravel directly from the cars
into his wagons, which under ordinary
conditions would be perfectly proper,
although il often resulted in holding
the gravel cars two and three days.
When the situation had been explained
to the contractor. he ordered the gravel
unloaded on the ground and the car,
released Immediately for additional
loads. This puts the contractor TO the
additional expense of handling the
gravel twice, but he was glad to pay
the additional cost in order to get more
