Freight Situation 0 n l y
About 50 Per Cent. of Nor-
ma
BOSTON, May i4.—Officials of New
England railroads said that conges-
tion of traffic on their lines, although
not so acute as two weeks ago. was
nevertheless serious, due principally
to theiNcw York dock strike and to
conditions on connecting lines to the
west. The New York, New HaVen 45’:
Hartford appeared to be the most
seriously afi’ected with freight traffic,
estimated at only 6 per cent or nor-
mal.
Boston & Albany ofl‘icials said
there were 10,000 cars on the road
yesterday and the average daily cast-
bound movement was 1.000 cars,
which'was slightly less than the
west-bound movement. This. they
said, was an improvement over condi~
lions two weeks ago.
Officials of the“ “New Haven“ road
reported conditions as serious with
traffic only slightly more than 50 per
cent of normal. There was an ex-
CGSS of freight cars available. thev
said. but dork strikes 31 New Yuri;
and other labor lroublcs had impairml
the service, to such an oxlcnt that our

and Queen Mario. oi liumania, have
ulccldvd tohwostponv thcir visit to the
United States until next spring. Prob.
lems facing this country are so numer—

that he is unable to leave the country
at present.
King Ferdinand is giving all his time
to the formation of a stable and per—
manent Government and extending Ru-
mania's administrative functions to
new areas acquired under the treaty
of peace. The country‘s present cert
ous economic position and the prevaiL

the King much concern and he in mak-
ing every effort to bring about some
relief.
"After Queen Marie and I visit Bea-
tsarabie and pay official calls at some
European capitals.” said the King.
