history has Chicago shippers faced such

Coming at time when the shortage

few cars that remained available
Shippers today report that they are
experiencing great difficulty in seeur-
ing cars even for local shipments and
that it is practically impossible to secure.

The monopolization of southern trans

the Panama canal is one reason for the.

Since the "barred zone' was declar-
