wAsHINGToN. April i2.-Mobili-

the harvest IL under way today five
months in advance OF the date Of
critical need
by the united action Of transports-
ton officers Of Eastern and Southern
railroads In conference with the car
Beryice division Of tho American
Railway association here yesterday,
determined measures 10 avert n car
shortage when the time comes 10
move the fall crops TO the nations
granaries are now in full force.
These measures consist first Of a
general order 10 Eastern and South
ern railroads. issued by the associa-
ton last night, 10 commence the
western movement Of all ears OF
western railroads that can possibly
DO utilized for the transportation OF
crops, 70 their home lines 80 that
they viii be on hand when the de-
mand begins \,
The second step was . prohibitory
order TO the Same roads forbidding
them 10 use any cars OF Western
roads. empty or loaded, in the move
ment Of traffic east OF the Mississippi
over their lines unless the movement
Is westbound. The aim OF these meas
ures is the creation Of a vast car
reserve west Of the Mississippi.
The action Of the conference and
the association Is the first step
toward solution Of the critical trans
portation problem OF the peak load :"
This problem Is whether railroads
should maintain equipment sufficient
TO carry the greatest traffic offered
at one time or sufficient only for
average traffic.
The periods Of car shortage, at
which the present measures aim, are
estimated by Secretary Hoover 10
cost the American people a billion
dollars In lost crops each time they
appear.
