CARS TTeD UP Appeals For Relief Poifring Into Washington From All Sections. A C’.shington. May .13.—Congestion of freight in the principal railroad ter minals. probably the worst since the hurd winter of 1917. Is beginning to be felt in business and commerce all over the country. j Appeals for relief pouring into ; Washington to the interstate com- merc ecommission. the railroad admin 1st ration an dto Congress, picture the big railroad gateway chocked with thousands of loaded freight cars un able to move because of shortage of men and motive power. Situation Grow* Acute Although the situation has been | showing local effects for the last two weeks, it now is being shown in its I nation-wide aspects and the appeals j for relief coming to Washington con- j lain predictions that unless the jam is , broken it will be eflected more than ever in decreased production slowing ' down industry and other troubles. ! I ate<t reports compiled here by the ' committee ou car service. American ) railroad association whose principal duty is to see that cars are supplied to sections in greatest need ot them, an 1 u. Icep them mo/iug, show ’.'5.. 000 cars tied up or delayed in transit. Of tills number 85.000 are at jane- tionn with no labor to transfer them. On April 16 the total number of cars tied up was 288,000. Much of this was attributed by railroad people to the recent strike. There is pressing need today for 82^411 cars to take care of the most urgent demands, railroad men de clare, although they say this shows a reduction of approximately 10,900 over April reports. . Imperative Demand for Coal Illustrating the imperative demand for coal, the car service committee -wee edvieed tpday there was nft coal at Saginaw, Mich., for the Saginaw gas works %nd orders were Immediate ly issued to get coal there in a hur ry. Other cities sent similar appeals. The most serious conditions prevail at the gateways, blocked as seldom before by the thousands of cars most ly loaded with coal and foodstuffs. After spending half of the day at the telephone, W. C. Kendall, head of the car service committee, announc ed last night that while the situation was bad. it was not nearly so acute as ten days ago. , "There is more noise, more of a con ccntrated kick,” he said, "but tho ac tual tie-up is loss. But there is an improvement. Last week's figures In dicated a coal production of nine mil lion tons.” The big clamor. Mr. Kendall said, to for coal. Commercial stocks hove been depleted, and with the railroad surplus exhausted the roads bad to confiscate it. Now they are trying to fill the gaps. , Demand for cars for gain form the northwest and for refrigerator cars for California and the soetheast terri tory came next, he said, and added to this was the ever-present difficulty of moving back the empties. , UNION SCHOOL MAKES PROGRESS WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT ALONG SCHOOL LINES NOT ED BY SPEAKER Continued on Page Two.
