Western Newspaper Union News Ser,ice.)

Chicago. June with the freight
business of the railways slowly but
steadily increasing, the Railway Age,
in an editorial in it's current issue,
publishes some startling statistics re-
garding the freight "a situation
with which the railways and ship
pers of the country are confronted.
1t shows that the railways now have
about $4,000 less cars fit for i'm
mediate service than they had a
year ago, and about 5000 less
cars fit for actual service than they
had when government control was
adopted on Jan. /. 1918.
In 1917 there were in service on
the class l railways of the United
States 2~,47s,500 freight cars. the
largest number owned by the rail-
roads in their history" says the Rail-
way Age. Since that time each sue
eeeding year has seen 9 decline ID
the n9Rbsr Of freight cars, Sners
We're $500 less In service " 1918
than i n lsi7, and as.8Oo kA n 1919
than in 1918. In 1920 there was a
further decfeasS Of $500 cars. This
decrease In the number of freight
cars is almost entirely duo to the
fact that the ears ordered by the
Railroad Administration in 1918 and
1919 were entirely inadequate to re-
place those retired.
"Of the ~z,479.5eO freight cars In
service in 1917, only 81 per cent. or
l41 900, were in bad order when the
railroads entered the period OF fed
eral control on Jan. !, 1918, leaving
2,33S,2O0 freight cars in condition
for actual service. On May /. 1920,
according to the semi-monthly report
of the car service division, there were
of a total of 2,352.0OO cars, leaving
only 2,042, 900 freight cars In service
able condition. At present, there
fore, the class l roads have over
less cars fit for actual serv-
ice than they had at the beginning
of government control. Furthermore,
1918 the number of bad order
requiring heavy repairs consti-
only so to 60 per cent out OF
the total number in bad order, and
of those now in bad order, 228,20O,
or "A per cent, are in need OF heavy
"In 1920 he railways broke all rec
)rds for volume Of traffic handled,
with about 100000 less cars actually In
condition for service than were avail
able in 1917.
This accomplishment marked the
effectiveness ever attained in
he utilization of freight cars, but II
vas attained by the adoption of som
the shipping public could hard
Y be expected TO agree. The rail-
Dads are now apparently facing a re-
ival of business, Since the last week
n March there has been a steady in
in car loadlngs.
THE present accumulation OF bad
rider cars, as well as the deficiency
n total number of ears, is due not on
to neglect to maintain and replace
during government control, but
lso TO the desperate struggle which
lany railways have been making
recent months 10 keep out Of
ankruptcy. If the country's business

cars must be reduced as rapidly

Protect Spare Casing.

Special tire paints designed to
protect the spare tire from in
jury caused by light, air and
moisture can now be purchased.
These paints are black and give
the tire a glossy, smooth finish
which greatly enhances Its o.
pearance. No special skill Is
required in the application. The
use of a protective coating on
the spare tire is desirable, for 1t
is often exposed to the action Of
the elements for months before
1t is put into S During this
time 1t is slowly deteriorating so
that its mileage Is gradually cut
down. A suitable coating, there
