CAR TROUBLE GROWS.
In the freight car situation are signs of two sets of
conditions in which one has a harmful effect on the
other. Improving business wants cars to transport
commodities urgently called for; the shortage of
cars denies the transportation aids demanded.
Things are becoming worse too. Car shortage of
American railroads, which was estimated last week
by the Railroad Age, a transportation periodical, to
be the greatest in history, has increased on the basis
of the latest reports made publip this week by the
American Railroad Association. On October 30,
179,239 cars more than railroads could furnish were
being demanded by shippers, a number greater by
12,890 than was so reported October 23. There were
still 3,716 freight cars scattered over various lines in
good repair, but not demanded by the service at the
point of location.
NEW TEMPLE IN LOGAN SQUARE. .
A new half million dollar Masonic temple is under
construction in Logan Square, Chicago, and is rap-
