Regulations of Shipment of Livestock Made N F XV YoPK, Dec. P. New regulaitons for the shipment of livestock ino Chicago were announced by the railroads war board in a statement issued here tonight.' "Peuinning Monday, Dee. lo." the stntemnet said, "all shipments of livestock into the Chicago market will be stabilized in accordance with a plan recently suggested by the railroads war board. "This plan, which also tends to stabilize prices, was adopted at a cenference of representatives of the Chicago car service commission of tne railway war board, the federal food administration, growers anJ shippers of live-stock, commission men and the pat king interests. "Fnder the old plan, which allowed unrestricted shipment;-; of livestock heavy consignments of cattle would arrive in Chicago on one or two days of the week and light consignments during the remainder. "To avoid all the undesirable, results of this custom, which is called the zone system of regulating shipments was evolved and will govern all shipments on and after Dee. 10. "Fnder this plan, within a zone i f approximately "am miles of Chicago, livestock will be received for shipment to reach the Chicago market only on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday. "Within the second zone, beyond ."'oi miles from Chicago and up to the ::;-hour limit for shipments of livestock shipments will la received to reach the Fhieaim maikt or. M inlay, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. "The third zone embraces all territory outside of the ::r.-hoar limit from Chicago and from this one. shipments of livestock may be made at any time to reach the Chicago market on any wek day. "It is probable that this system of stabilizing shipments and prices of livestock will be extended with necessary modifications to all the Wg livestock markets of the conntry."
