' (Up Fteight Cars
- To Handle Grain
Big Increase Shown This 1 car
Over Same Period of 1$19,
1 1 - Says Union Pacific f
President,
. ' -(
With fewer cars, the western rail
roads are carrying 'more business
than ever before. A general speed
ing up of the handling of loaded
cars and a consistent effort made by
all lines, east and west, to return
7 the empties to loading points has
had tbe same effect as the addition
of new equipment, ,
'"'We- are making our contribution
to the causetoy just running the
' wheels off our cars," said Carl R.
Gray, president of the Union Pacific
railroad, yesterday. "The remarkable
increase in "efficiency .can be gauged
oy th'everage number of -car miles
per day, year, ago in July the
i daily movement of eaqh car of
freight on the Union Pacific rail
road averaged SS.miles. In July
of this year the carWiles had been
pushed up to 153.4. This is an in
crease of more than '50 per cent in
thes.speed with which freight was
moved. The figures lor August of
this year show 80.2 car miles corh
' pared with 65.4 fbrthe same month
a year ago. 1ms represents a gain-i
of 23 percent' i.
. All in Gclod Shape, v
There are 18,500 freight cars -on
-lit Union Paciiic.fines now. Anl
inrease of 23 per cent in thi rapidity
with which they are handled means
the same thing as the addition of
4,255 carst to the equipment. Half
of the freight equipment consists of
box cars, so it can be said that, al-
though unable to obiaituuew rolling
stock, the Union Pacific lias added
'more than 2,000 .cars to its ijeet of
gram carriers. . - "'
"The rapidity with which railroads
will be able to move grain from farm
to market depends to, a considerable
extent on the requirements of other
commodities." said Mr. Gray. "How
ever, the railroads are going into the
winter 1h good . shape. The Union
Pacifiers gain in car mileage is par
ticularly significant when it is con-
5F
sidered that the gb&l many railroads
have beeen aiming at is only 30 miles
a day, as compared to ottr fecprd of
more than 80.
"The car, shortage is the only fly
in the ointment, but this factor is
being lessened - by getting "greater
mileage out of what we have. The
war substituted "munition making
tcr car building, and for Jive years
there has not b,een much added
equipment. The shortage exists Jn
all parts o the country, and every
railroad js doing a tremendous busi
ness. , More Cars in East
Although the eastern railroads
now have mofe freight cars on thfir
lines than they acually own, every
one oLihem js needed jo meet the
demands of industry. They are, mak
ing every effort to return grain car
riers to the west."
Mr. Gray read from a government
report figures showing that while
the eastern transportation companies
now have 103 pef cent of their
treight, equipment, the average for
the whole central west is only 89.5.
The Union- Pacific has 80 per cent
of the number of cars that it owns.
. itii the Allegheny district, where
lie the steel andy coal industries, (e
roads have 118 per cent of their
equipment. In the coal regions of
the Virginias the figure is 123 per
cent, and in the south 103 per cent.

Rhoades, ,s vice president of " the
United States National bank, ho
has just returned from a visit to
Wyoming. x He attended the state
bankers' meeting at Casper and vis
ited his son; Merton W. Rhoa-des, a

Mr. Rhoades Telieves that -the
whole situation hinge on the abil
ity of the railroads to, overcome the
lack of freight cars. , The proceeds
from wheat are requiredte finance
stocic reeaing operations aiia mucn
of the wheat : is blockaded in the
co.iiatry, ; Son the farmers will be
busy in the cornfields and' winter
may set in before they have time to
hzul their grain to the railroad.-.
,;,A letter from a bank in the Rose
bud country of South Dakota siys
that the local elevators are. filled
with grain which theyare unable to
ship, tit also tells of a farmer who
drove his cattle 10 miles to the loa4:
ing pens and waited there three days
for .tock cars, which" never came.
He had tc drive his herd back home
to- save it f n$m" injury. Instances of
this sort, -Mr." Rhoades says, are fre
qoentand the resultant delay in
cashing in the farm products, is a
clcfg on business. ' -
