Easing Of Freight Car
Shortage Assured By S. P.
(Continued from Page One)
supply comes from the area
served by the Southern Pacific
company on Its Portland division,
while 18 per cent of the company's
total business comes from wood
and wood products, thus Indicat
ing the company's responsibility
for anticipating needs of the In
dustry." Exhibiting a copy of minutes of
I Willamette Valley Lumber
men's association In 1916 report
ing a promise of the Southern
Pacific company to relieve a then
existing shortage of freight cars,
Ellsworth, who recently an
nounced he was considering ask
ing a congressional investigation
into the freight car situation, de
clared that "after more than 30
years of annual car shortages, It
Is .time the railroad companies
we're doing something about it.
"My Interest" the congressman
s Id, Is "to see that there is no
discrimination against the Port
land division, and to endeavor to
forestall, if possible, future short
ages." He pointed out that Immediate
i -lief was given Oregon shippers
in 1947 when he asked for an In
vestigation and that conditions
were much improved In 1948, but
that the shortage had been ex
tremely acute again this year.
Hale informed Ellsworth, the
latter reported, that a few cars
are scheduled to arrive from
California for loading In Oregon
Thursday and that still more are
en route, ine snortage is expected
to be completely relieved by tha
week of Nov. 21, Ellsworth said.
Estimates Too Low
Discussing his conversation
with Congressman Ellsworth,
Vlce-Presldent-Hale salj that un
forseen circumstances contributed
to the current shortage.
"A careful survey was made of
the lllmhpr Inritislrv In Ani-il " h
reported, "and leaders made esti
mates that shlDments would be
at least 20 per cent less than last
year. At that time the market de
mand was low and lumbermen
were very discouraged. Instead of
shipments being below last year,
however, they have set a new hleh
I record. Consequently our plans
1 for car distribution had to be dras
tically and hurriedly changed."
1 Hale also pointed out that the
i type of cars required has und?r
day evenings to help complete
the project.

DRIVER CITED IN MISHAP

resulted from an accident, in
which the latter's car struck the

CREDIT ASSN. TO MEET

jne change.
"Oregon's lumber industry," lie
said, "was shipping rough, green
lumber on flats and gondolas un
til only a few months ago and the
percentage of closed cars ordered
was very low. Now there has 'Ken
a complete reversal. Mills are
shipping dry lumber and need
closed cars. We purchased thou
sands of open cars and now find
the industry requiring box cars."
That changes in freight car
styles are not confined exclusive
ly to the lumber industry was
fiolnted out by Hale in comment
ng on the fact that every new
model of automobiles creates a de
mand for a different kind of box
car, while requirements for re
frigerated cars are constantly
changed by the agricultural in
dustry. "The Southern Pacific com
pany," Hale asserted, "is doing its
utmost not only to supply its snip
pers with cars but also with the
kind of cars they need. But with
the grain harvest starting three
weeks early, together with error
in underestimating the lumber In
dustry's car needs, this year's
shortage has been severe, amount
ing rougniy to about one-nan tne
car demand."
40-Hour Week Handicaps
Hale also pointed out mat tne
40-hour workV week 's critically
complicating the movement of
freleht cars due to the fact that
loading and unloading comes to
a virtual halt for two days.
Kaiiroads are expected to Keep
operating seven days a week," he
said, "but thousands upon thou
sands of cars are idle on sidings
every Saturday and Sunday."
The vice-president was accom
panied to Roseburg by L. P. Hop
kins, superintendent of the Port
land division and F. C. Nelson,
district freight traffic manager.
