Vice President, Commercial Car Division
National Automobile Chamber of Commerce
Again in 1929 production of motor
truck established q new record, mount
ing to sos, 900, as compared with q pre-
vious high in 1928 of 576,55l, consti-
tuting a gain of 40 per cent.
Light trucks Jared particularly well
vehicles of one ton and under account
ing for over rs per cent Of the total
production. Demand for heavier trucks
from shippers moving bulk commodi-
ties and from truck haulers continued
its normal growth, indicating the de-
pendence Of industry and commerce for
efficient and elastic transportation In
the short-haul field.
Foreign Sales Increase 65 Per Cent.
The most important factor in the
growth Of truck use was in foreign
countries. Sales of truck in foreign
countries increased from 209 $50 In 1928
to $4,000, or 65 per cent. American
trucks are moving the worlds freight
in every country, and the demand for
them is growing at pace exceeding by
far the growing desire for American
automobiles abroad. While . good many
commercial vehicles are absorbed In
Europe, they have become necessity
in other countries where rail transpor-
tation Is not widely available. Rapid ex-
pansiOn in truck use may be expected
for q number of years in Australia,
South America, China. India, South
Africa and other sections.
Motor trucks have been used in large
numbers only since the World War,
and during the past 10 years there has
been some competition between motor
trucks and rail lines, involving dupli-
cation of service and some economic
waste through process Of trial and error.
During the past 10 years, and while
trucks in use have increased from sew
eral hundreds of thousands to $780,
600, the field OF truck use has become
reasonably well stabilized. More than 70
per cent Of truck shipments travel .
distance of 80 miles or less. Use OF
trucks for long hauls, except In cases
of special commodities, such as furnl-
ture. silk, ETC., Is unecOnomic, and very
little Of 1t Is done.
Railroads Adopt Trucks.
Ever since the superiority Of the
truck in the short-haul fleld has been
apparent leading SIAM railroads OF the
country have been studying methods
of adapting 1t to their transportation
needs in order to save millions of dol
lars in the improbable Short-haul rail-
road field. Substantial increase in the
number of trucks used by railroads for
this purpose have been made during
the year over 1000 trucks are today
employed by railroads to eliminate
costly use OF trains in terminal areas
and for the short haul. Especially sig
nificent was the decision of the Omaha
Railroad to establish the first large
scale railroad truck transport line,
which since September has hauled
freight to more than 200 Minnesota and
South Dakota cities and towns. The
Omaha road bought out the Wilson
Transportation Co., which had pioneered
this truck freight development. Ac-
cording to Carl r. Gray. jr., general
manager of the Omaha road, the VEN
ture has proven successful in the early
months Of its control. Mr.. Gray pre-

The record expansion of motor
trucks used in 1929 is attributable to
the intimate relation between these
vehicles and every form of industrial
business and commercial activity in the
country. The truck is the only freight
transportation tool completely respOn-
sive to the requirements of shippers,
who own 81 per cent Of all commercial
vehicles. This fiexibility Of tranSporta-
ton has been o paramount factor In
speeding up distribution, reducing in
ventory, eliminating lost time and cut
ting down interest charges during the
process of converting materials into
goods and distributing these goods to
purchasers.
Now that the public has thoroughly
learned the trucks advantages in these
respects, still greater expansion In truck
use may be expected in 1890.

AUTO INDUSTRY
VITAL TO NATION
Relationship to Other Lines
of Business Is Cited
by Jarrard.

Many times this statement has been
printed: 1.-THE automobile industry is
the largest Of American industries"
Particularly in these times Of eco
llomic readjustment. one rarely stops to
analyZe this very true fact, and when It
is repeated there are few who question
1t or ask to have 1t explained, accord
ing to Thomas Z. Jarrard, Marmon
sales director.
With another annual automobile
show at hand and with all eyes turned
toward the new products of American
motor makers, 1t is interesting to gain
an insight into the vital and important
place this industry holds in the 1880
economic structure OF the country. A
few facts showing the relationship of
motor car and truck manufacturing to
other basic industries help to illustrate
the point.
Heavy User Of Aluminium.
More than rs per cent of the total
United States aluminium production,
for example, Is consumed by automo-
bile and truck manufacturers. In the
case OF many other raw materials, the
percentage Is far greater, ranging I'D to
some IS per cent Of the total produc-
ton of rubber and "A per cent of the
total output Of plate glass.
Consumption of steel by the motor in
dustry also forms a substantial portion
of the total output. The leather in
dustry is another which is dependent
to major extent on automobile man.
ufacturerS as its chief customers. In
1928, for example, 31,500,000 square
feet or 60 per cent Of all upholstery
leather manufactured was used in auto
mobiles or trucks. More than q billion
board feet Of hardwood lumber were
used by motor makers in the same year
for nearly one-flfth of the total output.
Consider for a moment what it means
to the economic wealth Of the Nation
to have such vital branches Of industry
dependent to a greater or lesser extent
on one big group Of manufacturers.

FEDERAL BARGES

John j. CnWell, general coun

tice grossly unfair to the rail
roads.
He was speaking at an indus

Continuing further. he said;

good business or good morals
for the Federal Government to
collect taxes from the railroads
to maintain and operate barge
lines on these inland waterways
in competition with the rail car.

to the railroads taking part of
their revenues from the handling
of freight interchangcd and
handing it over to that child of

Showing that while prices are
declining taxes keep increasing,
Cornwell said that eight years
ago the B. & O. had to earn
$18 every minute, every hour Of
the day, to pay its taxes, and
for the same purpose it now
costs the railroads $25 a minute,
