Deny Car Shortage Sparks Railroad Confidence
Railroad men in the city disputed the Interstate Commerce Commission report that freight cars were alarmingly scarce. William Brown of the New York Central and Amer can Railroad Association said nearly 200000 cars idle now would not cause further shortage once demand rebounds. He noted manufacturers are producing more cars and predicted no ongoing shortage when business returns to 1907- era levels.
