TWO MOTOR SHOWS BEST

| Mention was also made of the fact that, l of the two motor truck shows last win |, ter, the one held in this city made a considerably better showing, both finan- cially and i'll point of attendance, than | the one held in Chicago.
 1 The prestige of big industrial show | in the metropolis of the country is thor oughly recognized by the industry. and there is no serious indication that the New York show will be omitted. l In connection with this plan to sep arate the big motor shows a radical change is likely to be made in the | method of presenting the value of the 1 motor truck in all it's different phases to I the public A suggestion of George M Graham, member of the committee, aroused considerable interest He ad- vanced the possibility of making the l forthcoming show n Madison Square Gar der great spectacular exhibition re- taining the seats in the amphiteatre for | the public, and showing the multiform utilities of the motor truck upon large stage supplemented by motion pictures 1 For instance, one stage setting might | be shown of motor trucks starting from | the oil wells with their loads of fuel l The process of delivering the oil to municipal and rural communities would ! be depicted in all of it's transportation ! changes by moving pictures and various scenic stage effects.
 This system of motor truck transpor- | taton would be duplicated in the trans portation of live stock food products i from the farm to the city in terminal shipping methods, and in scores of other ways in which the motor truck is being used with economy and benefit to the community.
 METHODS BEING DISCUSSED 1 A plan of this sort it is recognized, l would reduce materially the exhibition space. The predominant sentiment in the motor truck industry, however, is that | it is more necessary to present something
 of a spectacular effect. giving clear ob- | feet lessons of the growing utility of com mercial motor vehicles to the public rather than a mere exhibition of motor 1 trucks, the principles of which are gen. 1 orally understood by users and pros pective users.
 The method of presenting the motor | truck show is still a subject of discus sion among the committee and the mem | bers of the national chamber. but the I seraration of the two national shows with distinct dates is practically as- sured.
 This is further borne out by the fact that 75 per cent of the truck users report that they have been able | to do with less help and "A per cent with fewer horses. When one stops
 to figure the seriousness of the farm labor situation at the present time he needs no more powerful comment than these figures to illustrate the urgency of truck production and dis tribution among the farmers of the country. With a 25 per cent shortage

 The majority of the members feel that show is advisable.

CAR MOVEMENTS
NEAR TO NORMAL
Freight Congestion Greatly
Reduced, According to R. r.
| Association Report.

Freight movements are rapidly
reaching a normal level. according to
records kept by the ear service divi-
sion of the American Railways Assoc

This has given rise to tho prediction
by some government ana railroad Of

ernmental control of freight and

the emergency order issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
May 20 will be rescinded soon.

There are other officials. however.
who feel that the much better service
that can be given by pooling equip
demands will continue to control for
some time to come. These officials
emphasize that by having the equip-
ment centralized it can be handled to
better advantage in moving perish
able and staple food products than il
each road holds its own equi bment on
its own lines.
The report of the car service com.
mission showing that the railroads
are nearing the pre-war level of
freight rloVemen records, the move
ment of loaded freight cars during
the week preceding September was
within $1,000 of the highest pre.war
record. The railroads that week
moved 9S5.000 loaded freight cars.
During the war the highest record
was about 100000 cars and it is be.
| lieved that that record was passed
last week.
A Striking Contrast.
In contrast to this it is pointed out
that during the week preceding Nav
20. when the order was issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission

regulations. the congestion amounted
was reduced to $4,000 on September {.
which is within 10000 of the lowest
