EMBARGO STILL ON.
New Haven Road May Continue It
indsfiniteiy.
While the New Haven lload is mov-
ing an enormous amount of freight
over its lines. and has been ever since
the embargo decree was put in iorcc
three weeks ago. there is little likli-
hood. it is said. of the embargo being
raised in the near .future. in fact it
has been continued indefinitely b\ the
railroad.
M the time the embargo was tin-
posed there were on the New llmcn
Road H. 776 cars Since that time.
or in the space of three weeks that
the embargo has been in effect, the
number of cars on the line has been
decreased by 6.300 cars. and the
freight business iuis been kept in hair
control. About in 000 cars at a time
on the line is considered about all the
iuilrosd can bundle with reasonable
ircedom.
The reason that the number of cars
on the "no hits not decreased moi-(Ii
than 6.000 is the MN that the New!
thon bad to shin over its linos, after
the embargo was imposed much
freiuht which was accented hv othc'r
inilronds before the cmbargo was im~
nosed. and because the trciizht within
New England which is expected from
thr embargo has l‘ kewisc increased.
Other factors have contributed to
kecping the embargo in force. One
of thrust is the cflnrt oi the Intanlll"
Commerce Commission to apportion
tors in various parts of the country.
no ouch section may haw equal op
portunity of moving is goods. An
othoi is u prnctira or rulc. of tho some
commission to the ciicct that. the new
of sideboard curs shall hc limited to
the carrying of cool. if the railroad
wort- allowed to list such cars for
[other purposes much atldltionnl
freight might be at times moved in
this manner.
”Shortage of luboi and lack o'
p.ronor trucking facilities is one of the
|contrihutiniz chorus of the embargo"
mid Mr. Nickcrson.
