Mrs. Burke Carries Message
From Capital.
TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 14, 1917.
LIBERTY GOSPEL PREACHED
Mayor Orders Two-Minute Jlest
l-'rom Business at 12:15 Tomor-
4
row to Mark Commencement of
Campaign for Sale of Bonds.
Sincere, earnest, inspired with th
importance of women's part in the lib
erty loan campaign, Mrs. Thomas Car
rick Burke, who went to Washing-ton
to attend the conference called by Mrs.
JIcAdoo, has just returned to Portland
to do her part in the bijr movement that
will make this coming week notable
the women's work in selling and buy
ing1 liberty bonds.
Mrs. Burke is state president of the
Oregon women's committee, and the
work is being directed by Airs. Sarah
A. Kvans, state chairman.
The conference in Washington was
attended by representatives from every
etate and was held in the beautiful
Pan-American building. The time was
occupied in interesting and intensely
Important discussions. Sirs. Burke says,
and from meeting all these earnest
"women she gained a wonderful inspira
tion that urges her to say: "This cam
paign Is vitally important. We must
as women do our part. Never before
has the (Jovernment asked for a com
mittee of women to co-operate, and on
our success or failure depends the fu
ture status of woman."
Mr. McAdoo Kntertalns.
The only "frill" to all the serious
jnatter was the tea given by Mrs. Mc
Adoo in her new home. The rest was
all business and most serious discus
sion and addresses that rang with
feeling, eloquence and an understand
ing of the need of raising the great
;um of money needed. "Women will
knit a sweater or wristlets because
they realize the 'personal worth of it.
Let them understand that a liberty
bond bought now will save a man's
life," was what one of the speakers
aid.
The earnestness and intense purpose
of Mrs. Burke's message so .mpressed
Mayor Baker that he straightway Is
sued a proclamation, and as a result,
when the campaign begins tomorrow at
12:15 o'clock, the whistles will blow,
the bells will ring, autos will honk and
every streetcar will stop for two min
utes and then the women will begin
with all the strength and conviction
that comes from true patriotism, and
they will endeavor to make Oregon
first in women's liberty loan sales, as
It is first in so many other things.
Sacrifice Is Vrged.
Mrs. Burke has sounded the call:
'All slackers should be ostracised.
Women who have n) sons to give
should give of time and money to up
hold democracy and freedom. Give
until it hurts. This epirit only will
epell success."
Mrs. Evans, who could . not go to
Washington, has nevertheless . been
working diligently and has appointed
a. chairman in every town in the state.
She has called a meeting for next
Wednesday at 2:30- o'clock in Library
Hall. AH women are asked to attend.
Oooci speakers will be prcent. Mrs.
Burke was in Philadelphia when the
campaign started there and saw the
aviators dropping circulars over the
city. Portland may not have the
aviators, but it will have the en
thusiasm and will get results, Mrs.
Burke predicts. Her spirit is conta
gious. She wants every Oregon woman
to do her part.

Sixty Per Cent of Orders Placed
Wltli Shippers Call for Ijots
Weighing 50,000 Pounds
' or Less Waste Results.
Shippers have a. distinct duty to per
form in war time, it is declared by
the special committee on National de
fense of the American Railway Asso
ciation. This is in loading cars to
capacity and aiding to do away
with waste space and waste fuel and
motive power in hauling trains of half
loaded rolling stock. It is this waste
that contributes to car shortage and
inability to move great quantities of
war materials, foodstuffs and other es
sentials whose prompt dispatch is of
prime importance at this time.
It is stated by the commission on
car service, a sub-division of the Com
mittee on National Defense, that 60
per cent of the orders placed with
shippers call for lots weighing 50,0u0
pounds and less. It is of interest in
this connection, the commission states,
what cars exist to fill these orders.
Freight cars in the United States and
Canada have a marked capacity rang
ing from 60.000 pounds to lOO.OuO
pounds. A few are etill in service with
a capacity of less than 60,000 pounds,
and there are also a few with a ca
pacity exceeding 100,000 pounds.
It is pointed out that there is a
gulf that is ever widening between
carload minima, - established by trade
practices, and car capacity, and that
t is a certainty that great car waste
must continue unless trad practices are
changed. The commission makes rec
ommendations as follows to overcome
this evil:
It must be obvious to every thousrhtful
perFon t hat car waste always inherent ty
wrong 1 indefensible under present condi
tions. ' The diHparity between the carload
minima and car capacity Is better under
stood when It is recalled that only a. fow
years ago no inch car as one having a. ca
pacity ot 100. OOt I pounds existed ; when 40
per cnt of all the cars In the I'nited States
and Canada had a capacity of less than
60.000: that in the evolution of things the
size of cars has increased until C. per cent
have a capacity of Mt.oou pounds and up
ward, while those having a capacity of less
than 60,000 pounds represent less than o
per cent of the total equiiment.
While a like increase in carload minima
may not be expected, it is not too much
to hope that all concerned, during The pe
riod of the war. will, waive their tariff
rights to order in minimum lots. aThe buyers
buyers of carload freight are, therefore, be
ing requested to place orders in a way
that will enable each car to do a. car's work.
These requests are being made, not only
by the carriers themselves, but by the com
missions, both state and Federal, ami have
been adopted by no inconsiderable number
of consignees throughout the whole coun
try. It is believed that many t tmes buyers
place orders for minimum lots through force
of habit, and results already secured con
vincingly how that when the situation is
presented there is always a proper response,
farriers stand ready to us their Nation
wide car service organization in persona
appeals to the buyers of carload freight for
the full use of car space. Already many
shippers are declining to book orders when
to do so would cause a waste of cars,
"arrlers do not ask shippers to go this
far. however; they merely ask to be per
mltted to join in efforts to meet the wishes
of the buyer without the necessity of wast
in pr car space under present conditions.
It is gratifying to find that so many who
have thought upon t he subject, both from
the standpoint of the carriers and of car
users, are fast accepting the proposition that
a fundamental reason exists why each car
should be required to do a real car s work,
that car destroying trade units, established
In the old days when cars were small, must
be abandoned.
The car supply, expressed numerically.
cannot be largely increased In the near
future. I is quite possible, however, to
materially increase the amount of Treight
handled per car or per car trip. So much
depends upon an adequate car supply that
it is deemed best to appeal to both re
ceivers and shippers of freight, the former
to order in full car lots and the latter,
when minimum orders are received, to give
t he carrier a chance to join in presenting
the matter to the buyer for an increased
order before making the shipment.
When full loading to one consignee cannot
be arranged, the plan of placing two con
signments In the same car must be resorted
to In order that a car may do full duty
at least a portion of the trip, and the cor
dial support of both shippers and con
signees Is requested in order to minimize
lis disadvantages.
The most that can be said for the double
loading plan Is that It la an expediency.
and it is hoped, therefore, that full load -ing
to one consignee can be arranged n
order that there will be no occasion for
continuing very long: the practice of double
loading.
