C.
Vaughan,

president
of
the
Canadian
j
Canada.
Constant
representa
National
system
today.
Since
the
O.D.T.
ordered
that
United
States
open-top
cars
be
returned
to
American
lines
from
Canada,
the
Canadian
National
has
been
making
every
effort
to
comply
with
the
order.
The
situation
Is
that
the
numbers
of
such
cars
on
our
lines
today
does
not
exceed
what
has
been
regarded
for
years
as
being
average.
"It
is
realized
that
requirements
of
such
cars
in
the
VS.
for
unusually
heavy
export
shipments
of
U.S.

have
created
an
unusual

but
In

an
equally
unusual
situation
Jias
been
created
by

strikes
In

United

and
coal
strikes
In
Nova
Scotia
which
combined
to
threaten
industrial
and
railway
supplies
of
coal
in
this
country
and
have
forced
the
Canadian
National
to
haul
large
quantities
of
U.S.
coal
to
the
Marltlmes
to
stave
off
this
threat.
This
Is
an
aonormai
situation,'
which
had
to
be
met
by
abnormal
measures.
It
Is
also
a
situation
involving
unusuauy
long
hauls
for
coal
which,
in
turn,
slowed
down
the
normal
return
of
such
cars
to
the
United
States.
No
other
railway
In
Canada
has
been
faced
with
this
situation
and
It
is
deeply
regretted
that
the
O.D.T.
appears
not
to
have
taken
this
factor
Into
consideration
before
suddenly
placing
an
embargo
on
the
movement
of
coal
in
open-top

on
C.N.R.
lines
In
this
country.
"The

Considering
the
fact
that
box

are
as
urgently
needed
in
Canada
as

it
