Imperative Necessity
For Relief Of Acute
Car Shortage Taken Up

Washington, May l3-Imperative
necessity for immediate action to
relieve the freight congestion on
American railroads to prevent Sc
rious curtailment Of production en-
gagged the attention today of all gov
crnment agencies which deal with
the national arteries of transporta-
ton. Reports from important ter
minals agreed that the situation
still threatened slowing down OF
industry.
Shortage OF cars was given by
most authorities as the principal
cause Of the congestion, with lack of
adequate personnel and motive
power as important contributory
causes. The fact that the strike of
railroad employees still was in
progress in some districts had de-
pleted train and yard crews at i'm
portant gateway connections.
The committee on car service of
the American Railroad association
estimated 23s000 cars tied .up or de-
layed IN transit at this time.

Ten years ago Ed f. Harrington,

a "cowardly highwayman" hold him
up.
Ten years passed, but Harrington
did not forget his fathers ad-
vice.
"Wednesday night when a lone
bandit Aourished a revolver in his
face his fathers advice rang in his
ears, he says and his Celtic blood
leaped in his veins at the thought
of fland-to-hand encounter.
But let Harrington tell his own
story.
I'VE left Kansas avenue. going
south, at ll:23," began Harrington,
as he took generous bite from a
solid plug of tobacco. II was in
side the car counting my fares when
my motorman stopped and let a man
on. l told the man to give me his
fare, as we were going into the
Ames avenue barn, but instead he
showed big black gun in my face.

II didn't intend to do it till l took
a squint at the muzzel of his artil-
lery. 1t looked like cannon. So
l did.
HE took the money, about $52;
then he started to take my watch.
That was too much. 1t was, my
mothers watch. She had given it
to me when left home. l wouldn't
part with it for the world.

the gun-it was still pointed at my

around the shoulder with my other
arm.

"Ile dragged me off the car. but
when we landed on the pavement |
had the gun. He ran. | called for
help and started after him. l caught
up with him in about half block
and hit him on the side of the head
with the gun.
81 didn't hit him very hard, but
his heard was hard and the gun
flew out of my hands. He got up,
and began running again, but /
caught him. We had a fist fight
and say, I'm right there when it
comes to that! Used to have fight

I'D beat him up pretty bad when
