CAUSES OF THE CAR SHORTAGE
During Federal Control, Fewer Cars
Were Built Than in Previous
Years
Scarcity and liigli prices of almost
every conceivable article from coal
white paper are now being laid at the
door of “cur shortage.” Business men
and other citizens who have not felt
the slightest interest in the supply of
freight cars or in any other problem
affecting the railways frequently find
themselves unable to buy commodities
which they need or to market their
products readily and in almost every
Instance they are told that the “car
shortage’’ is to blame.
Naturally, then, there is a wide in
terest in the question as to why a
shortage of freight ears exists and is .
not promptly brought to an end.
The reason for the shortage i s
plain. During the war the business of
the country increased by leaps and
bounds but the facilities of the rail
ways for handling that business were
not increased in proportion. During
the twenty-six months that the rail
ways were under Federal control the
United States Railroad Administrn
tion contracted for 100.000 freight
cars but the actual number put into
service was something over a thou
sand below that figure.
Reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the ten years. 1908
to 1917, inclusive, show that during
the ten years preceding Federal con
trol the railways added to their freight
equipment a total of 1,202,537 ears
or an average of 120,253 cars per year,
__, and retired .. , a , total , , . of M4.H.4 cars or
an average of 82,41b cars pfer year,
From these figures it will be seen
that during the twenty-six months of
Federal control there were fewer cars,

put than the railways had
acquired during each year of the pre¬
ceding ton year period and only a
small number more than the railways
had retired during cacti year of the
!W,ue 1,1,1 v,ar period.
In addition to tills, during the i
war
period the entire plant of the railways!
was operated at toil speed. All efforts
were centered on winning the war and
the future was left to take care of it
self. Consequently when the railways
were returned to their owners at the
close of Federal control they found
themselves lacing a rising tide oi
commerce with a supply of equipment
insufficient for handling the business
offered for movement.
Until their property was returned
to them it was impossible for the rail
way companies to undertake the
financing of new equipment purchases
and conditions that have obtained
since March fii'st have been most un¬
favorable. lu their petition to the
Interstate commerce Commission foi
increased ireiglit rates the railways
sc out tnat even the strongest com ;
panies have to pay more than seven|
per cent interest to yet new capital i
and that others have not been able tc
get it at any price.
Now that the Commission has au
thorized an increase in rates it if
hoped that conditions will change sc:
as to enable the railways to borrow
money for the purchase of new equip
incut at favorable rates of interest but
this change will in all likelihood be
gradual In the meantime the public !
will be serving its own interest by
exercising patience and not exnect
ing the .. railways to provide . . equipment: .
taster than it is possible for them ic
secure new capital and procure the
physical building of cars and engines
that are recognized as needed.

NEW RECORD SET FOR MOVING CARS
RAILWAYS OF SOUTH ARE NOW
HANDLING MORE FREIGHT
THAN EVER BEFORE
COMMERCE AT HIGH TIDE
Number of Cars Loaded in July and
August Shows Increases
Over 1919 and 1918
Washington, I>. C.—All records have
been broken by the railways of the
South in the movement of the high
tide of commerce that continues
throughout the territory served by
them, according to figures, covering
the movement of cars of commercial
freight loaded during the six weeks’
period from July eleventh to August
twenty-first, announced today by the
Car Service Commission of the Amer
ican Railroad Association.
During each week of the six w eeks’
period there were loaded at stations
on the railways of the South more cars
of commercial freight than were load
ed during the corresponding week of
either nineteen nineteen or nineteen
eighteen. The total number of cars
loaded during the six weeks this year
was 795,397 as against 716,294 for
same period in 1919 and 737,904 in
1918 when every nerve was strained to
move the traffic incident to the war.
During the week ended
twenty-first there were loaded 137,
937 cars at stations on the railways
of the South as against 126,997 cars
for the same week in 1919 and

What the Wilmington N. C. Star, Scpi. 21st, says of Sparks’ Circus;
“The cleanest and cleverest show witnessed in this city in many a day
was Sparks’ Three Ring Circus which exhibited yesterday at 12th and
Dock streets, the audience taxing the capacity of the huge tent at each
performance. ‘Clean and clever’ sums up the show and the crowds were
orderly.”
