.greatly in drawing the people to.

THE CAR SHORTAGE
i v -. . There is no disguising the tact t-iat,
; the car shortage is 'occasioning seri
ous interrupl ions to the normal indua
trid output (' itif. ro'Uitry. The as
sedation of Railway Executives have
issued .an flcroa! to the public, in
. which they s.iilc that the cars and
locomotives at their command are in
adequate to handle the unusaully lar
' ,vge business offered, and they add
that it will be-impossible to overcome
immediately this deficiency. The Exe
1 cutives state that "conditions require
, the most Jntensive use of the .exist
ing facilities." To that end they
. have outlined a plan for securing
' the greatest possible efficiency in
. the distribution and use of cars, and
with the support and cooperation of
the shippers they are in hopes to pre
vent a repitition of the condition of
congestion which marked the oper
ation of the lines under' Government
control. . During that historic epoch
tho theory was quite similar to that
t- used by Oliver Wrfhdall Holmes in
describing his "wonderful .one horse
shay," and .had .not private owner
ship been restored to its managerial
rights we would doubtless have seen
the lines soon reduced to the condi
' tion of the "shay," which took the
appearance of a "general flavor of
mild decay." But,', in reality, upon
the release of the carriers from the
Federal control, not only were the
cars and locomotives as a whole in
adequate' and in an inpaired state
v bet also the distribution of the cars
as to ownership was in such a condi.
tion as to prevent the greatest ef
xiciency in their use. - Imagine what
t would have been the dilemma had the
Government in carrying out some of
.its war-eccentricities, scrambled all
the farm machinery of the country
wherever they happed to find binders
reapers, or other machinery. That
i practically what happened to the
railroads; and even today the first
impression anyone has who - readfc
the names of the owners on the cars
of a passing freight train is that, "I
. didn't realize that there were so many
different railroads in the country.?'
', .The constant labor troubles have
hindered to a large extent, the re.
ttfrrif t the equipment to their or.
iginal owners; but the new wage a.
ward-it expected to help settle Wage
conditions and -assist in the reloca
tion of cars. -

t"a only relief from the difficult
conciition wUV reference to the car
shortage rests in the more 'intensive
use of fche existing equipment. ; The
railroad program, for which public
cooperation is sought, contemplates
the following: 'An average daily
total' owned; early and substantial
reduction" in the number of locomo
tives now unfit for service; more "effective-
efforts to bring about the ie.
turn of cars to the owner roads.
