SAYS Business Revival Will

Means Emergency Pooling I'm
der Govt and Priority Control
as During War.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The present
transportation emergency" will throttle
the new business revival in the cradle il
the railroad strike continues much long
err. said David Williams, secretary of the
central strike committee tonight.
He based his statement on figures SUD-
rnitted by the Labor Bureau, Inc, show
ing, he asserted, that the following meas
ures are almost inevitable in dealing with
the crisis:
Emergency pooling of rolling stock un-
der federal control.
Resurrection of priority control over
shipments as exercised during the war
stopping Non-EssentIaIs.
Shutting down of non essential indus
tries and throttling of the business re-
Vival.
With car loadings larger now than in
1920, despite the coal strike, and with
heavy crops to be moved, the cars still
in commission In the fall will be totally
inadequate to handle the transportation,
even if the strike is settled soon, said
Mr.. williams, citing the shortage of 1SzO
and the 20 per cent increase in fall load
ings for that year
Out of Commission.
The latest figures on bad order rolling
stock, Mr. Williams said, shows that on
more important lines entering New YORK
is to 35 per cent Of the locomotives ana
10 to 25 per cent Of the freight cars are
out of commission.
