PROPOSAL IS OVERRUlED
No Justification In Shipments From
Hare to N. ". I. c. C. Rules

Here to N. ", !. G. G. Rules
No embargo will be placed OH the
shipment of potatoes to New York.
Clyde Il. Aitchison. of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in a decision
announced yesterday. said there was
no justification for nn embargo us pro-
posed by the Pennsylvania Railroad on
the ground that there was a congcs-
tion of perishable freight.
The company requested that all pO-
tatoes be billed through to Its new
terminal yard ut kerany. y. j. A
hearing In the matter was recently held
in Washington. and this was followed
by an investigation.
In making report on the case to
Commissioner Aitchison. John e. Roth.
director Of the Bureau of Service. said ::
IL find that the congestion of perish
able freight has not been of sufficient
extent or duration to warrant an en-
barge: that there is no congestion what
ever at present that the Pennsylvania
Railroad pier facilities at New York
where pcrishablc freight is handled are
inadequate TO handle tho arrivals during
a forty EIGHT hour period in one day.
but are adequate to care for each day s
arrivals correctly. and that the receivers
of perishable freight in New York can
overcome much of the congestion and
delay by removing all Of their freight
from the piers during the first twenty.
four hours after arrival.
II recommended that the Pcnnsylva.
MIA Company be notified that there is no
evidence of an accumulation of potatoes
in New York City which warrants the
levy of an embargo
