FILL THE CARS A LITTLE more cc operation be- ~_ tween the merchants and the railways will do much to re- lieve the present freight situation. The railways are not trying to shift the responsibility on to the public, but are asking the public's help. Much more tonnage, for Instance. could be bandied with the existing lo- comotive power and terminal facili- ties It cars were loaded lo capacity Instead of being so often only two- thirds full. In the old days when traffic was lighter, it mattered less to the railways if a shipper did cot use all the space he paid forâ€" that was the shipper's loss. But now it is real- ized that the e.xtravagance of one shipper may cause delay to others owing to the limited amount of loco- motive power and terminal facilities. The shortage Is not so much in etitiip- ment aa in train crews, and labor in the yards and r-jundhoitjes. An.v thing which can help to secure quicker clearance and freer move- ment in the yards, helps to speed up the movement of freight. Another drawback to the economical move- ment ot freight is th;»» a great many conaignees order not the 'ull carload of freight, but merely the miaimiim allowed under th? classiticatioa. It would materially heli) to solve the problem it in placing orders ion- signees would order enough to till a car to capacity instead of the mini mum. which very often does not re present more than half a carload. The question of the capacity ot cars Is itself the subject of investigation. The standard of loading grain, for in- stance, has r<>niatned the same for many years, but improvement in the engineering of cars has gone on stead- ily, so that the modern freight car can bear stresses greatly in excess of what was possible twenfy years ago. The result is that there is prospect of considerably increasing the load line on quite a larg equipment, thus increasing the train 1 freight should be loaded to the full capacity without requiring additional ' carrying capacity which is 10''t In train crews. Craiu cars rated for i excess of their stencilled capacity. \ The following figures are taken from the RaiLvay Statistics ^\. the Do- , minion of Canada, issued by th; Deputy MinLsior of the Department of ; Railways and Canals. a>d cover all the railways of Canada: k \ Note. â€" 1907 is the first and 1315 the last year for which figures are available. 1 1?07 1915 Increase | Total tons freight carried 1 mile lI.687.Tll,Sot) 17,661,309,723 ol.l5i !
