Owing to the fact that some erro-
neous data on the Norwalk postoillce
had been furnished the committee by
the Treasury department little pro

will be taken up again next Monday.
The Treasury department furnished
the committee with statistics iiuppoe~

NEW come, March 22.—Beettusc of
the seriousness of the freight blockade
in New England, where factories are
closing because of their inability to
obtain coal and other supplies. the
committee of railroad executives
working with interstate (‘onimeroai
Commissioner E. E. Clark will tomor-
row morning send n group of experts
to New England cities to study the
situation at close range and devise
first aid remedies.
How serious the blockade is in some
New England places was brought
home to the committee today. when it
was reported that in Providence a
company employing 1.000 hands has
been compelled to shut down because
of innbiitty to get coal. i-‘roui Bridge-
port came the report that the. great
Remington works. with millions in
we: construct: on hand, was laying on
the night forces because the neces’
sary supplies could not arougill
from every railroad in the eastern con-
gested territory showing the condi-
tion of their Jines as of midnight on
Monday. it is expected that this in-
formation will be in tabulated form
for a meeting of the full committee
called for 2:30 o'clock Thursday after
noon. A mass of information Is risk»

firms and corporations to whom bizn.
ed. freight is consigned and the
mount of equipment tied up by the
inability of consignees to handle it.

cause of inability or unwillingness to
