CAR SHORTAGE APPROACH ING. “Another shortage of freight cars is in prospect for the coming fall and winter. Instead of the surplus of equipment to be found on nearly all railroads during the dull days before the after-the-war business revival set, in, every piece of equipment now is in use on many lines and only the most careful handling by the railroads with consistent and whole-hearted co-operation from the shipping public can prevent serious inter ference with business. Federal Managers have been called upon by the Railroad Ad ministration to utilize equipment to the fullest possible extent, and particularly to see that ears are set in motion promptly upon be ing loaded or unloaded. Shippers are asked to lend a hand by reducing detention of cars to a minimum and by careful and heavy loading so that the greatest possible service may be had from each car.
