SMALL CARGO RULE
HELPS RAILROADS
Carriers Pleased by Results
of Experiment With MIXED
Carload" Shipments.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, March 16 (NAN.A).-
Western railroads centering here report
O moderate increase in freight business
resulting from the mixed carload" ex-
pertinent they inaugurated yesterday II
an effort to meet truck competition.
Of1cials feel highly satisfied with the
early gains caused by reduced rates
and are more confident than ever that
q substantial amount of business lost
to trucks will be regained.
AS far as the railroads are concerned
there has been a depression in less
than-carload freight since 1920. Each
year has recorded a large drop in mer-
chsndise tonnage. with proportlonate
increase in trucking operations. Even
in 1929. when tonnage OF all 1relght
was more than 100000 tons larger
than in 1920. leSS-than carload tonnage
was 17,159,O00 tons smaller.
Expect Bigger Gain.
The Van Sweringen lines in the East
have had a similar arrangement OF low
rates to meet trucking competition since
the early part Of the year. quite DIT
of business has been transacted under
the new tariff. and as soon as shippers
contracts with trucks have expired the
carriers expect to regain more business.
OF course. the process OF winning
back tonnage will be SLOW. The rail-
ways have been gradually losing tne
traffic for II years. They could not be
expected to regain it at one stroke. The
tight against highway competition,
u-ac bPC1ln earnestly OnlV
since the depression set in and earnings
fell to dangerously low levels, has been
extremely difficult Unregulated, with a
most flexible means of transportation,
the trucker has been able to underbld
the railroad with some added adVan-
tageS in service.
Many unemployed men have picked
up bargain" trucks and gone INTO
business. They aim to get load at
anW price" Rates are slashed. SO
long as the owner has little money
left over after buying gasoline he is
satisfied. When the truck breaks down
because of neglect and finds resting
place in some junk yard, there is al.
vavs another amateur trucker to I'LL
the vacancy.
Majority Privately Operated.
Proposed legislation for Federal reg
ulation of common and contract trucks
and busses will help to stabilize the
industry and prove a benefit to the
railroads which are not in a position
to slash rates at will if they cared to,
But regulation of highway carriers will
not solve the railroad situation. 1t is
estimated that of all trucks in opera
ton today, only about 20 per cent are
common or contract carriers. The re-
mainder are in private service and not
subject to Federal control.
If the motor carrier industry is sta
bilized through regulation, the rail-
roads will be more apt to invest in that
field and create a truly co-ordinated
transportation system. In that way
they might be able even to interest the
shipper who now owns and operates
his own feet of trucks in private use.
