The Ka nta Fe, however, has notified noti-fied its agents not to accept freight other : than coal, oil, livestock and perishable goods for points east of the Indiana-Illinois line or north of the Ohio river whop routed via Illinois and Missouri junctions without ascertaining if connecting eastern lines can handle the offerings. The Southern Pacific has had an embargo embar-go on eastbound freight over its rail and gulf route via Galveston since January IS, and like the Santa Fe is accepting other eastbound freight subject to the ability of connecting eastern lines, generally gen-erally speaking in the Mississippi valley, to receive it. |
