|l|E-UP OF FREIGHT
H|NDERS INDUSTRY
Rcads Have Nearly Recovered
From Recent Strike, but
Lack Cars
BY the Associated Press

Washington. May 13.-lmperative
necessity for concerted action to relieve
the freight congestion on American rail
roads in order to prevent serious cur
tsilment OF production is engaging the
attention today of all government agen =
eies which deal with the national arter-
les of transportation
Reports from important terminals
agree that. while the situation is not as
acute as II was two weeks ago. It still
threatens a slowing down of industry
with resulting unemployment and eco
nomic disturbance.
shortage OF cars is given by most au-
thorities as the principal cause of the
congestion. with lack of adequate per.
eonnel and motive power as important
contributory causes. The fact that the
strike of railroad employees is still in
progress in some districts has depleted
train and yard crews at important gate
way connections and prevented clear
ing Of these distributing points, it is
said.
The committee on car service of the
American Railroad Association esti
mated 1000 cars tied up or delayed
in transit at this time.
New York. May 13.-IBy A. PD--
Freight congestion in the eastern sec
tion Of the country with its resultant
decrease in the already inadequate sup
ply of freight cars. is more result of
the inability of consignees TO unload
cars quickly than inability of the roads
to move cars, railroad officials here said
today.
The roads were almost unanimous in
asserting that effects Of the recent strike
Of switchmen and yardmen had been
counteracted by the return OF u ma
jority of the strikers to work and the
employment of other men to replace
strikers still out. Some of the present
congestion. however. was admitted to
be the result of piling up of freight dur
ing the strike. but this. officials de
clared, was being speedily cleared up.
Chicago, May 13.-(By A. P.)--Al-
though numerous manufacturing plants
in the Northwest and Middle West have
been forced TO cut down their working
forces recently because of shortage of
cars for shipping orders. managers Of
