GROWING SERIOUS.
The Freight Blockade Threatens In
dustrial Prosperity of Country.

u
Pittsburg Pa. Nov. 2.-The freight
blockade in the Pittsburg district is grow
ing worse daily 1t threatens the indus
trial prosperity and is impeding this by
keeping many furnaces and mills idle.
Interests suffering most from the social
cd car shortage are losing thousands upon
thousands of dollars.
Due to the freight blockade there are
idle in the Pittsburg district $500 men,
who are losing in daily wages S162, 900
In the Shenango and Mahoning Valleys
and the Cleveland district there were p
blast furnaces shut down yesterday.
These are operations of the merchant fur
nacemen. In three months past they
have not come up to 40 per cent of their
normal output. At the end of the year
they will have to carry over at least 40
per cent of their contracts taken for this
years delivery The idle furnaces throw
about 900 men out of work, whose daily
earnings are about $1,000
There We're about 1,5s0 of the necessary
2.20O cars delivered to the coke regions
yesterday, but the Merchant furnacemen
expect little relief from this the heavier
operators getting most of the coke while
the smaller consumers suffer For days
and days of the past fortnight deliveries
of cars to the coking region ranged from
400 to 500 of the 300 required For over
a week some of the Merchant furnace in
terests have not had a single car of coke
pass through the blockaded Conway
yards. In these yards there are now
about 1000 cars. the movement of which
is almost entirely blockaded.
Mines are idle throughout the Pittsburg
district because enough cars cannot be Sc
cured to keep them going. An estimate
of the numbers of men so thrown idle
places the figure at 10000 and at time
when the output is sorely needed. These
men are losing in daily wages about

A WAR OF WORDS.
Two Great Railroads Quarrel Over
Exchange of Freight.

Minneapolis, Nov. 21.-The Great
Northern and the Milwaukee roads are
at loggerheads over the interchange of
freight. There is a congestion at points
intermediate and some thousands of
cars are hung up on tracks in Mime
apolis, where the two roads connect. The
Milwaukee says the Great Northern has
not handled the business with proper
celebrity, and the Great Northern puts
the blame upon the Milwaukee. Mean
while the cash wheat BUYERS at the
Chamber of Commerce have to be care
full that a car bought for Immediate

necessitate a transfer from the Great
