Rail Lines Seek
Aid Of Shippers
To Prevent Car Shortage Off
Gals Want to Fill EN- Up and
Let EN- Go in Hurry"

| ATLANTA, Ga, May 3-"Fill 'em
up and let EN- go in hurry" ismhe
substance of an appeal for coopcra-
ton, issued by the railroads to ship
pers, wi the view to preventing anoth-
er shortage Of freight cars.
Millions of dollars will be spent for
rpv equipment, roads, cars and loco
motives under the plan of the railways
OF the country, but rehabitilating the
reads to meet present day demands
| may require several years. Meantime
the equipment on hand must be so
conserved that it may be used at max
imum efficiency. The railroads thru
out Georgia and the South plan to
make every effort with the coopera-
ticn of shippers to furnish adequate
service.
Copies of thep rogram of the Amer
lean Railway Association, of which
roads here are members, that was
adopted and approved at rectn meet
in New York, have been received by
railroad executives in Atlanta.
Railway officials here have recon-
mended that shippers be urged to CO.
operate in the following manner.
Load equipment as near to capacity
as is practicable with the various clas-
ses of so as to maintain average loads
of thirty tons per car; restrict the
number of cars shipped under ito or
der bills of laden" to prevent delay as
destination; limit the heconsignment
of traffic; unload cars as expeditiously
as possible; increase storage capacity
ard provide siding facilities; order on
ly the number of cars actually requir-
cd; ship as much of the years goods as
possible at this time in order to avoid
the congestion in October and Novem-
Der.
Railroad men here espresso the be-
lief that from the best information
obtainable from railroad and other
sources there is every indication that
there will be heavy business through
cut the year.
The associated railroads. the report
received here says, in 1922 expended
$440,000000 of which $2O0,OOO,Ooo was
for new cars, $45,0O0,0OO for new loco
motives and $l950O0,OOO for trackage
and other facilities The program for
1923 calls for an expenditure of T! 1G0,-
100000 of which $515 100000 is to be
invested in cars, $160,000,00O in loco
motives and 1925, 100000 in trackage
The railroads between July |, 1922
and March II, 1923, according to the
report, handled the greatest volume
CT traffic in their history, but the
money for the new equipment is to be
borrowed largely con the abiding faith
III the fairness of the American people
and reliance on the continuance of the
policy announced in the transportation
act OF 1920, as a measure of reasonable
protection to investment in railroad
property"
The railroads have agreed to give
the general public and their patrons
full and complete information as to
the progress made in fulfilling the
program, with the view of obtaining
cooperation in furnishing adequate and
satisfactory service.
