Washington,—During the week ended July 16th there were loaded on the railways of the South 127,485 cars of commercial freight, an in¬ crease of 10,762 cars over the loading for the same week Iasi year and an increase of 3,981 cars over the same week in July, 1918, when every possi- i MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF RAILROAD Savannah, Ga.,—(Special)- -The | railroads begun of Georgia have already to put into effect the policy adopted at a meeting in New York a few days ago, of the Association of j immediate Railway Executives, looking to an and material reduction in the freight car shortage throughout the United States. In the first place, It was unani determined at that meeting to increase the average daily move¬ ment of freight cars to 30 miles per day as against 23.1 in 1949 and 24.6 in 1918. It has been estimated that this increase of more than 5 miles per day over the movement under Government control will be equiva lent to adding between 400,000 and 500,000 cars to the available supply of equipment. The determination, in the second place, to increase the average loading of cars to 30 tons, or about 1 ton the average attained in 1919, which was the high record, will, it is stated, mean another 50,000 to 75, 000 ad(led to the available car supply, It is also stated the available sup ply will be increased by about 80,000 Cars more through decrease from 7.4 per cent to 4 per cent of the cars listed in “bad order.” These three factors, together with a material reducton in - the number of locomotives “unfit for service, and the determination to bring about speedier return of cars to owner roads, will, according to careful es¬ timates, add something like 600,000 cars to the available equipment sup ply, the good effect of which will be gin to be fclt at once upon transpor t a ti on service Under present labor and material conditions it would require years to turn out that number of new cars, and in the meantime the country’s business would be retarded accor dingly. This action of the railroads in itself will tend to relieve the situ atton far more speedily than if or ders were placed for double that number of cars, because of the time required to turn them out, not to speak of the provision of funds with which to pay for them.
