§ 108. Distribution  of  cars.  1. Every common carrier engaged in the  transportation of property shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish to all  persons and corporations who may apply therefor, and offer property  for  transportation,  sufficient  and suitable cars for the transportation of  such property in  car-load  lots.  Every  railroad  company  and  street  railroad company shall have sufficient cars and motive power to meet all  requirements for the transportation of passengers and property which may  reasonably  be  anticipated,  unless  relieved therefrom by order of the  commissioner. In case, at any particular time, a common carrier has  not  sufficient  cars  to  meet  all  requirements  for the transportation of  property in car-load lots, all cars available to it  for  such  purposes  shall  be  distributed  among  the  several applicants therefor, without  discrimination  between   shippers,   localities   or   competitive   or  non-competitive points, but preference may always be given in the supply  of cars for shipment of live-stock or perishable property.    2. The commissioner shall have power to make, and by order shall make,  reasonable  regulations  for  the furnishing and distribution of freight  cars to shippers, for the switching of the same,  for  the  loading  and  unloading thereof, for demurrage charges in respect thereto, and for the  weighing of cars and property offered for shipment or transported by any  common carrier.
