Monroe Johnson said today. The real pinch will begin about October 15 and continue -until May, he said, with such results as: 1. Some factories will be -torn-pelled to close down or reduce operation during periods jf the fall and winter; 2 The movement of crop will I- strung out over a longer-than-UMial period. The railroads Still will be moving this year' 'Wheat crop when the next crop ripens. Can't Handle Traffic Johnson said in an interview that "the railroads simply cannot handle all the traffic which ,'will be offered them during coming months. So when the storage fa cilities of industrial plants are filled they'll just have to close down or curtail operations until they can move their goods. Normally, Johnson said the peak demand for railroad freight cars begins about October 15 and i continues for several weeks. But this year, he said, the high de , mand will continue well into next year. "We shall be in a terrible fix in transportation until Mar," the ODT director said. Freight Hauling Hlfh "Right now the railroads are hauling more freight thanatjany time during the war. Fee) the week ended Julv 30 the C? 'oad ing figure was over 921,0f the nignesi weeriiy loading since ine week ended Oct. 12, 1941."t But demand will reach 1,000, 000 cars a week by fall, Johnson raid, with the result that ,75,000 cars of freight will back up'each week for an indefinite period. Johnson attributes the high traffic demand to mounting in dustrial production, the move ment of bumper food crops and the stockpiling of winter supplies such as coal and ore, by homes and factories.
