SEVEN SOUTHERN PORTS Open
Seven Loaded Cars Moving North to

Louisville, Ky. Headquarters In
Louisville of railroads with Southern

broadcast to connecting lines from
Pittsburg to San Francisco announc
ing free movement OF freight in the
South and suggesting the use of Cult
and South Atlantic terminals for the
movement OF export business as one
means Of relieving freight congestion
in the East, Middle West and West.
The kilograms asserted that seven
Southern ports,-New Orleans, Mobile,
Jacksonville, Brunswick, Savannah,
Charleston and Norfolk--are open
and that export business can be han
died If lines at Ohio river crossings,
st. Louis or Memphis, could be reach

Southern Railroad, one OF the leaders
in movement centralized here to as
sist in relieving freight congestion,
the idea Of using Southern ports for
movement of export business has not
been advanced in the present crisis"
Moreover he added the logic OF
the situation is with the South, where
two loaded cares are moving North to
one load being sent to the South. This
necessarily means an empty haul
