There was a tremendous grain
blockade at Chicago last week. Fif-
teen thousand freight cars, heavily
ladened with grain, have been run in
to Chicago during the last fortnight.
The majority of these cars have been
switched to the sidings and freight
yards and have not been unloaded.
All the grain elevators are full and
there is no place in which to store
the grain. Large orders have been
given for the building of freight cars
in the quickest possible time.
