The Illinois District Traffic League, formed January 14, 1919, schedules a hearing on April 3 at 10 a.m. in Chicago before the Easter District and Western District Freight Traffic Committees. Leaders from Peoria, Chicago, Decatur, Sterling, and Rockford organize to defend existing rates, urging broad attendance to assess impact on shippers and industry.
