There has been a heavy dew every

ROADS GIVEN
AUTHORITY TO
MEET BLOCKADE
Railroads West of Mississippi
Are Permitted to Give Pri-
ority on Shipments
FOODSTUFFS ARE FIRST

Washington, Aug. 31.-Railroads
west of the Mississippi river were
authorized today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to give pref
erence and priority to the movement
of foodstuffs, livestock, perishablc
products and fuel whenever their
operating conditions became such as
to cause freight congestion or block
ade.
The order declared an emergency
and laid down rules for the conduct
of the Western Lines identical with
those which have been in effect on
railroads east of the Mississippi for
several weeks.
Roads unable to transport prompt
ly all freight offered, the order said,
may suspend ordinary practices in
providing cars for shippers and rout-
ins. The order will go into effect
Sept. l.
When the original emergency or
ders of the commission were issued
early this month, priority and pref
erence instructions did not affect the
west, although provision was made
to allow railroads to disregard rout-
ing directions Of s.ippers and move
freight in the most direct line.
