He stated he un derstood there are two or three shiploads of soda waiting fer cars at Charleston. He stated that this fer tilizing material is urgently needed by the planters of this section. I i another instance, he stated Florida is shipping her watermelons in opt 1 *.) cars, or gondolas, coal cars and such equipment. The growers are sus taining tremendous losses bacaust of the damaged condition In which their produce arrives under such exposure. In another week South Carolina will be shipping her watermelon crop. Mr Johnson pressed the question as to whether South Carolina watermelon growers are going to be permitted by the Chambers of Commerce, and thoi Interstate Commerce Commission toj suffer such handicaps in marketing’ their crop. Stating another instance in the in justice of the order. Mr. Johnson said these cars were ordered to move empty, and are not oven permitted to take loads west, in their westward trip. This means that the countr.' must bear an enormous empty oai mileage, under ihe Railroad guaran tee clause of the government. Many A. C. L.

At tin’ same linn* lie suited the Atlantic Coast Line h:,s not tin foreign equipment on Us line to make up for the absent carr. He stated that h > knew of one division beiiu short more than t>00 cars in a siugh day last week. He intimated the co dilion on this division is not at ai peculiar. He stated further the A. (.
