Discuss Freight Car Shortage

Means of erasing the freight car shortage rvhich sorely hampered national distribution of West Coast lumber during 1947 were sought in Portland, Oregon, recently when West Coast Lumbermen's Association shippers met with top officials of the Southern Pacific Companl'.

A friendly but bare-knuckled exchange of views boiled down to the hope, expressed by the railroad men, that conditions would be "better" in 1948. Lumbermen accepted this hope 'cautiously, awaiting results of the various service improvements liSted.

H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the Association, warned that production in the Douglas fir region was already up 12 per ,cent over last year and tl.rat increased transportation facilities are imperative.
