SEND FREIGHT CARS "HOME"
Campaign for Observance of Car Serv-
ice Rules in Topeka.

nc AellAtsS LOkbShd
In line with a campaign which has
been giving excellent results in the
east. the four local railroads, the Rock
Island, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific
and the Santa Fe, have inaugurated
plans for the better observance of the
car service rules in Topeka.
The campaign was outlined at a
, meeting of railroad officials early this
month, at which the local car service
situation was carefully analysed, and
IS now in charge of the Topeka
Freight Agents association, consisting
OF A Lusk, of the Rock Island; c. L.
Sleeper, of the Union Pacific; F. z.
Nipps, of the Missouri Pacific, and
George Sorensen, of the Santa Fe.
The direct purpose of the campaign
IS to obtain the cooperation of ship
pers in the loading of cars so that
foreign cars will be headed toward
their own lines as much as possible,
ana conferences with the Topeka ship
pers are being held as fast as they can
be conveniently arranged by the above
committee of local agents.
shippers whose records show they
are not observing or complying with
the car service rules are presented
with copy of the rules, and the COM
mlttee endeavors to solicit their CO.
operation and assistance in the proper
handling. of cars, explaining to them
the BENEFITS to be gained Jointly in the
proper observance of the rules. AS
whole thelocal shippers are showing a
willingness to assist in the movement
While it is admitted that the car
riers are the first to receive benefit,
yet the results of the campaign will
be mutual on the theory that any extra
expenditures made by the railroad
companies in moving empty cars, or
time lost in furnishing cars, is event
ually borne by the shipper and the
public in the regular freight charges
In hauling an empty car to get it
back on its home line, the railroads
make 9 charge of five cents per mile
with a minimum charge of SIS per car
which amount can be saved by having
the car loaded and routed in that di-
reetion. In that case the transaction
would result in a profit instead of a
loss, to say nothing of the time saved.
Even the charge Of five cents per mile
, does not cover the actual cost of NOV
ing an empty car, representatives of
! the railroads say.
The campaign is directed toward
! concerns shipping in carload lots only
and to the carriers themselves in the
| handling and routing of merchandise
cars. Whenever possible. foreign cars
are to be used where shipments are
to leave the line of origin, and if the
lear has its home in that direction
so much the better.
