Earl Renewed Interest in Pier Terminal Plan for Chicago
Chicago readers heard O. K. Earl promote a pier produced terminal that centralizes Chicago’s produce trade at the Municipal Pier. The plan would move cars by river ferries to unload and sell, reducing cartage and handling costs while boosting volume. Earl argues it concentrates receipts, cuts time, and mirrors New York practices without moving South Water or West Randolph streets.

Texas shippers push back against rail icing charges
The article notes Texas shippers shifting to the Southern Route to the East to escape icing costs. Patterson says iceberg charges add to freight, with 16 dollars for ice to Mississippi River and no further icing costs thereafter. He estimates Texas ships 8,000 cars of county produce annually requiring icing, signaling a large aggregate impact.
