Cal. Shortage
5. Due Partly 10
Espee Itself:

Failure of the Southern Pacfdc

the movement of empties on its
lines is held to be largely account
able for the present acute car
shortage in Oregon in letter for
warded today to Clyde b. Aitchi-
son, chairman of the interstate com
meroe commission, by Fred U.
Buchtel, chairman of the Oregon
commission.
Frequently two or three days are
allowed to elapse after car mas
been loaded before it is picked up
and started toward its destination,
Ruchtel states. Delays in switch
ing of cars from the transfer track
at Albany have been quite notice-
able and numbers of specific cases
might be cited wherein it appears
that the Southern Pacific company
has been negligent and not handled
equipment to the best adyantave,
he adds.
Another source of delay and
cause for complaint by shippers.
Buchtel points out, is the length OF
time consumed in shipments from
California points. destined to Port
land. it appearing that whereas the
bre-war schedule ordinarily con-
sumed some four or five days now
trips of from seven to ten days are
not infrequent.
Oregon's industries have suffered
the additional handicap of acute
car shortage. particularly on the
lines of the Southern Pacific, r~su-
larly for years while other states
nave been able to reap an advan-
tage through our inability to secure
cars for shipment. Buchtel declares
adding that if the commissions IN
formation is reasonably accurate
California has never been nor Is II
now confronted with Oregon's un-
fortunate car shortage situation.
Buchtel calls attention to the
fact that whereas the northern lines
in this state have accumulated a
surplus of cars the movement OF
empties into oregon over the South
ern Pacific has considerably de-
creased of late with present short
age of more than 20oo cars.
