BIG MOVE LOOKED FOR
Say That World' Record Crop
U to be Handled
L. Shinaberger, Agent for the
United State Railroad Adminis
tration at HilUboro, makes the
following appeal to all shippers
in this vicinity in connection with
the threatened car shortage:
"Minimum and small lot ship-
... li
ping of ail classes oj ireigni,
which was resorted to by ship
pers, following the cessation of
la.sL car's hostilities and the sub-
sviuu.nl removal of Government
loading restrictions which had
been in effect as a war measure,
has resulted in many more cars
being used to handle the freight
presented for ktiijunenf than
sliou Id have been required for the
transportation of that amount of
tonnage, a shortage of cars now
exists and grows more serious
from day to day.
"Without vour assistance, the
railroads can not expect to pro-.
vide cars to move the enormous
crops and productions being of
fered for shipment, and the hard
ships which are certain to result
from the congestion which is the
invariable result of a car short
age cannot be underestimated,
and for the purpose of relieving
this condition as far as may be
possible, I earnestly solicit your
co-operation to the following ex
tent: "Those of you who have sea
sonal crops to move can help out
greatly if you w ill, without delay,
advise me the approximate
amount of freight you will re
quire to be shipped together w ith
the closest approximate uaie
shinment is to be made. This w ill
permit of arrangements being
... . ,11-A
made to consolidate smau 101
shipment where full car capaci
ty shipments can not be secured
as well as afford this Company
greater opportunity for securing
suitable cauipment to fit the ship
ments that no valuable ear space
may be wasted.
"Other shippers can greatly
assist by making all available
equipment carry its maximum
load and further soliciting me
aid of their consignees to the end
that orders can either be in
creased or the trade lot adjusted
en i. to nrrtnit of consolidation
of shipments and double loading.
"It is of National importance
at this time that business condi
tions be not affected in the man
ner which wouln result if definite
steps are not taken to improve
the condition above reterreu to.
Railroad representatives will
gladly furnish you with any in
formation and assistance which
let us be favored with your co
may be. consistent, and in turn,
operation that our service to you
operation thn our services to you
may continue uninterruptedly."
