p. Clark, chairman of the interstate
commence commission, stated that no
special provision had been made to
take care Of lake shipments to the
northwest, pending the outcome of
discussions between the coal op-

have not thought it proper to attempt
to deal with this situation by order
until we know the result Of such de-
liberations." Mr.. Clark wrote.
Chairman Clark urged that the car
riers take steps to reduce reconsign-
ment OF cars to the minimum.
The bituminous coal operators, who
have been In session for the last two

themselves ready to load all cars
supplied. The resolutions urged that
priority be given in the movement of
coal and coke after loading over all
other commodities except food. live
