Association Traffic Manager K. C. Batchelder presented documented evidence to prove that costly and embarrassing delays had resulted from the car shortage. Inability to ship on time, he said, had resulted in order cancellations and hard feelings between shipper and customer. Batchelder estimated that the Douglas fir industry had suffered losses of approximately $9,500,000 during 1947.

A. T. Mercier, president of the Southern Pacific, told the lumbermen that his company had received delivery of 3,998 postwar freight cars by March 1, and that an additional 3,3O2 are expected to go into service by the end of July. Twenty new diesel locomotives, he declared, already are resulting in faster service. Elimination of delays in unloading cars, he said, rvould contribute substantially to more satisfactory transportation.

George T. Gerlinger, chairman of the Association Traffic Committee, presided at the meeting.
