An urgent appeal to the iuHiiufac-
tuieFH Hml IhikIiiww men of Hlieruian
to Join in it national movement to
make better u*<- of existing railroad
.equipment n«£ ntoaiiH of proviiliuK lm-
PTored tiuoHtwrtation « >rvl<v was
made by thoJtallroad Committee of
the Chnndief of Commem* of the
T'ulif l !>t *toa today through the 8her-
nu<n Chumlier of Commerce.
Tli'> National Chamber'a committw
pv>!ntn out that the equivalent of more
tl'«:i i'alf. a million ears rati lie adde<l* 37 per cent to 22 |x r cent of its total
to the car supply by eloaer co-opera-
tion on the part of all interests eon-
reruf'd with transportation.
"Fi eight traffic ban increased so
rapidly in the United States during
the past lew years that it has com-
p'etely outgrown the carrying capacity
of the railroads," says the Committee.
">s a result. It is now necessary for
flic roads to devise a practical plan
for 'm'rensinjl their transportation 'nets
vbe. Tliiii can only lie done by mak-
ing, CTJteiiKive additions of new facili-
ties ntul eqniiiment, (Deluding freight
cnfs, locomotives, yard and track ter-
m
time In the hands of the shipper or J
receiver; 43 per cent moving from
the pointy of loading or unloading to
the terminal where it la put Into a
train or onto a transfer track 11 per
cent In a train moving from oue ter
initial to another ; and U per cent laid
up for repairs. You, aa shippers and
receivers of freight, can effect a sub-
stantial reduction lu the 37 per cent;
and the railroad inn effect an equally
substantial reduction in the 43 per
cent. ?:. • 1
"You can load and unload your cars
promptly If you will. As u rule the
railroads allow -you 48 hours free
time to load your cars and 48 hours
to unload them Iteforc making any
ciiarge for demurrage. If you will use
only one-half of this time, thus re-
leasing your cars in one day Ihstead
of two, aud in addition will order atr
cording to your loading capacity, re-
strict your car ofder to today's pro-'
gram, avoid the duplication of car or-
ders, and avpid the use of cars for
storage purposes, you' should be able
to reduce the time that the average
freight car spends in your hands from
•. "...,u{r. ,,t :y;(.v.-
minals. er by making greater use
existing facilities and equipment.
'The railroads cannot carry out tfie
p'nii first suggested because under
ptesenf condithms they are unable to
obtain ii suftlciput ainounf of new cap-
ital ; nor would It be possible for
them to provide new facilities in time
to relieve the present emergency even
if the capital were available. They
pi "«f, therefore, rely on making a
ir txiiiii.tn use of existing facilities and
Mjufpincnt, with the co-operation of
all of fli ' oilier Interests concerned—-
the slii|i|KMs of freight, receivers ot
freight and railroad employees.
' You, us shippers and receivers of
fieljdit inn take a very Important part
in 1111 -i movement. You can add 535,-
<>< '> ffinht cars to the available car
supply by loading your cars more
h'nvlly nnil loading and unloa>ding
thun promptly. If the railroads were
obliged to buy 535.000 new cars at the
present1 prti-e of about . |wr car.
It would cost them Jfl.tMi5.ooo.000 and
would co-it the public at least ti per
<pnt of that amount in the form of in-
crrased freight rates.'
"The average freight car spends its
time an follows: 37 per cent of the
is
time, and thus add 3UU,0UO cars to
the available car supply.
"The average freight car makes 20
round trips each year. l$y reducing
the time needed for each trip 15 per
cent, you will enable the car to make
23 round trips each year. This is
equivalent to adding 15 per cent of
2,-Nmmnk) or 3Mtt,000 ears, to the avail-
able car supply.
"The average capacity of the freight
cars of the country is 411 tons. Hotue
commodities. Including coal, Bleei. ore,
sand and gravel, can be loaded 10
l>er cent heyoud the marked capacity |'

"In 1010 the average load per load-
ed car of all commodities on all the
railroads of the Country as a whole
was 27.8 tons—only 07 per cent of ca-
patity. The railroads have now un-
dertaken to attain an average of 30
