FOR PERMANENT RELIEF mc

Railroad Owners Call on Commerce
Commission.
Washington, Nov. 21.?The Asso- 2X1
ciation of Owners of Railroad Securities
renewed its efforts today to
have the Interstate Commerce Com- ^
mission take steps toward establishment
of permanent relief from railway
car shortages. In a letter to '
Commissioner Atchison, commission- ^
er of the car service division, of the
Commission, S. DAvies Warfield, the v^'
association's president, declared that ?*
so long as present conditions res- T01
pecting the interchange of cars con- ^
tinue, private operations of the railroads
"is endangered." ?*
The letters advert to the applica- c?5
tinn nf fV>o TTninn In tho
mission, asking it to use its emer- reI
gency powers to supply that rail- s*r
road with cars consistent with the a *
roads car ownership.
'If additional evidence werd re- SP*
quired," the Warfield letter says, we
"to demonstrate the inadequacy of
present railroad methods in respect
to interchange of car equipment
and the necessity of the pooling of
interchange freight cars, the application
of the Union Pacific suppjies
it, being unwilling to entirely rely ov
on the competency of the railroad's T*5
own agency to supply cars." ^
