crease in the number of fires Will be

tional council of defense The Viz
Einia council has received a conmuni-
cation from Washington on the sub
ject, asking for the support of the state

partment develop. Camps will be

lar army officers similar TO that OF

Norfolk Men Make Protest

Norfolk, Va. July S.-The inter
state commerce commission has been
requested by the Norfolk Truckers
Exchange and the Southern Produce
Exchange to make an investigation in
10 the affairs of the Old Dominion
Steamship company with regard TO
the recent delay in transporting truck
and perishable foodstuffs by that line
from Norfolk to New York.
It is understood that the commits
sion will begin az once stringent in
testigation of the real motives of the
company for the delay in handling food
shipments. 1t is claimed that the Old
Dominion can make eight sailings a
week out of Norfolk and will only
make five or SIX, while five vessels do
not carry near the number of pack
ages of truck carried in other years.
1t is claimed by shippers here that
the real motive behind the actions OF
the Old Dominion Is a desire to Gre
ate a condition that will force an In
crease in freight rates.
