Freight Car Builders
Reported Slowed by
Lack Of Steel
Need for Standardization
Also Cited as Big
Orders Pile Up
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Financial
circles said today lack of steel and
the need Tor Standardization were
the major obstacles faced by freight
car builders preparing for demands
expected to arise from diversion of
coastwise shipping to other points.
They estimated orders now on the
books called for delivery of $4,000
cars before October / and said an
other $4,000 cars probably could be
delivered before the end of the year.
To complete these deliveries and
to build the 100000 the railroads are
expected to need by october, 1912,
they said plate steel for car con-
struction must be made available
and suggested that Standardization
of orders also would help speed up
the output.
1t was reported that two car
building plants had to shut down
from lack of plates and that an
other had been held back on as
many as 1000 cars by shortage of
steel.
Some car industry spokesmen felt
Federal priorities were concentrat-
ing too much on ship plate produc-
ton at the expense of materials for
freight cars.
These sources suggested also that
if the railroads could place their
orders Immediately, the builders
could plan for manufacturing facili-
ties and personnel needed.
Car builders said they believed
their plants and labor supply would
be adequate for a program of $780,
900 new freight cars by the fall of
1943.
The magazine Business Week esti-
mates that the railroads in 194l will
require nearly 5,0O0,O 900 tons of steel,
including track and rail supplies,
compared with the 1889 use of s.
100000 tons.
