A year ago, Batchelder said, the nation's Class I railroads had 61.000 cars on order. but currentlv there are less than half that many. Bad order cars have increased to a dangerous level, with 149,583 now inoperative.

Recently Batchelder attended a meeting in Chicago as the representative of the Pacific Coast lumber industry, with executives from leading railroads and other major shippers present. Batchelder made a strong case for more cars at this meeting.

There is only one alternative, Batchelder warned. Either the railroads take immediate steps to put bad order cars back into shaoe and increase orders for new cars in sufficient quantity to meet shippers' needs, or the nation's shippers will suffer tremendous losses.

The freight-car shortage will strike the lumber industry, he said, at the peak Summer production period when the mills can ill afford disruption in shipping.
