Shippers Help Keep
Rail Cars Movinq,
Police Each Other
Carriers Fear Federal
Control if Efficiency
Efforts Fail
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Railroads
and shippers have banded together
to get the absolute maximum ton
miles out Of every boxcar. according
to an article in Business Week.
The carriers in 1941 handled the
largest freight movement In United
States history, it Is pointed out,
and with 100000 fewer freight cars
than were in service in 1929. The
problem now boils down to this:
Can the railroads, with the help of
the shippers, move still larger
volume this year by squeezing more
transportation service out of the
i,700000 railroad-owned and the
10000 privately owned emostly
tank cars? The carriers fervently
hope that they can, because they
are convinced the Government will
take them over If they don't.
The War Production Board has
ruled that the roads can have $4,000
new freight cars in the final eight
months of 1912 against requested
10000. The administration phil
osophy for some time has been that
it would take compulsion to keep
cars from standing idle too large a
percentage of the time. One posi-
bility might be to reduce the free
time allowed for unloading a car
by beginning to charge demurrage
before the expiration of the 48
hours now allowed, or TO pyramid
the charge each day the car is held
after a certain period. Another
suggestion was an increase in the
minimum carload.
Remarkable Job Hailed.
Probable reason why cooperation
has thus far prevailed over COM
pulsion, says Business Week, is that
the rails and shippers have done a
remarkable job. Even those who
disagree with the method admit
that 1t has anticipated every diff
Guilty and prevented a transporta-
ton crisis.
In the last war, it is pointed out,
100000 freight cars piled up along
the Atlantic Seaboard, blockading
war exports. Result was Federal
takeover of United States roads.
The Association of American Rail-
roads port control, set up In Sep
tember Of 1899, has kept export
freight rolling so smoothly that
there are only $4,000 cars at all
ports awaiting unloading-and these
are being released 2,50o a day.
Last week, as a double safeguard,
the A. A. r. embargoed United
States ports. Railroads may now
accept only those export shipments
that have United States Govern
ment or United Nations bills of lad
ing, or for which special licenses
have been obtained from A. A. r.
Offices. Cars can't move to tide
water unless the roads are positive
they'll be unloaded promptly.
Traditional guardian of freight
car supply Is the A. A r. car service
division, with 13 district Offices
blanketing the country. 1t works
