 DECIDES AGAINST ROADS

and the Illinois Central likewise would not have sufficient equipment to conduct its local business.
 The commission holds "that the tenn porary cenfiscation by carriers of the cars Of other railroads and the placing of embargoes against cars being sent off the lines of the owners are alike unlaw- ful and the railroads are expected to make such rules for the return of cars as will terminate such abuses"
 ihe commission holds that an embargo may be Justifiable because of the physi- cal inability of the carrier to deal with traffic which overwhelms it, .but an embargo placed against connecting car riers because of their failure promptly to return cars is not consonant with the service which the carriers are required to give by law"
