DRASTIC REMEDIES
URGED FOR ROADS
President Willard, of B. and O..
Tells |. c. c. Situation
Is Desperate.

Testifying before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the inquiry
into the car shortage, particularly as
willard. president of the Baltimore
and Ohio and chairman of the advi-
sorry committee, Association of Rail-
way Executives, stated today that the
railroads are not at present furnish
ing the transportation necessary to
meet -thc requirements of &he COM
merce Of the United states. and that
they would not be able to do so until
drastic remedies had been applied.
Mr.. willard discussed specifically
the inadeauacy of car equipment, de-
Law and interference to movement in
cident to labor difficulties, and the
generally unsettled condition that
has prevailed for the past several
months. which has thrown production
and distribution out of balance, rem
dering necessary special consideration
and in some instance specific orders
by the commission.
He explained that IL would take
some time again to get equipment re-
habilitated; that it might fairly be
hoped that with the award by the
labor board now sitting at Chicago
roads with respect to unsettled labor
troubles might disappear. and he was
hopeful that the railroads would be
able to make existing equipment, by
virtue of increased mileage, more CT
ficient and that there would gradual
" come about normal conditions; in
the meantime, however, he stated the
fullest cooperation should be had be-
tween the railroads and the shippers
Mr.. willard also pointed out that
statistics show that the average car
load on American roads is only 20
per cent of carrying capacity, and
that about - per cent OF the total
car mileage is made with empty
equipment Freight cars are standing
on side tracks waiting to be loaded or
unloaded - per cent Of the time, Mr.
willard said.
The remedies for the existing situa-
lion suggested by Mr.. willard wcro:
Increasing tho mileage of cars to thir-
ty miles per day, cutting down the
time cars arc left in the hands Of the
shipper, and increasing the average
load from twenty-five 10 twcnty-scvcn
tons.
