Sept. 18 to Sept. 25 the Belt opening and from Sept, to Oct. 2 the opening of the Belt, because of what it “an acute labor shortage in re drying and processing plants.” Feeling that, they were being discriminated against v/arehouse- men and farmers in these belts called on the TOUS to rescind its order.
