1. This matter arises out of a dispute between certain mid-stream operators running the business of handling containers on behalf of shipping companies, consignors and consignees of containerized cargoes and the operators of tractors which hold those containers. Some publicity was given to the dispute at the time which apparently involved the imposition by operators of a charge of $40 per container on the drivers who were bringing them into the depots.
