The con- ference was attended by Charles J. PBennett, a member of the committee on transportation of the Connecticut Defense Council, and a mnumber of transportation experts and state and national defense council representa- tives, including J. S. Cravens of the state councils section of the Council of National Defense, George H. Pride of the highways transport committee of the national council, and David S. Ludlum, president of the Autocar company. Mr. Bennett explained the workings of the ‘“return load” plan and left with each of the men attending the | meeting a map showing routes already established state. highway in this It was decided not only to recommend the establishment of sim- | ilar routes in the other states repre- sented at the conference, but to con- sider the advisability of making each state's service inter-related and co- operative as far as possible. The Connecticut return load tem has already been in demand for transportation between New York city and points in this state. system, in brief, mobilizes the pri- vately owned trucks of Connecticut for the co-operative service, in emer- gencies, of other shippers than the owners of the trucks. Shippers and other truck owners who make inter- urban trips on which they carry loads only one way are asked to register at return load bureaus in the chief industrial centers. They are then provided with loads for their return trips and are paid by the shipper whose goods are thus moved. To make it easier for truck- men to get arrangements have been made Wwith the Southern New England Telephone company, whereby the truckman has merely to ask central for 'Return Load” in cities where most of the return load hureaus exist to be con- nected with the bureaus. The truck- men have been instructed to notify the bureaus in the towns to which they make their outgoing trips the day before so that return loads will in touch with shippers, | l Maj. Gen. George O.
