Cleveland, Aug. Ex-senator NJ. A Hanna.

Office to-day as to require the services Of a

Embargo Recently Issued Has but
Little Effect Toward Reliev-
ing Present Congestion.
THROUGH TRAFFIC DELAYED.
Committee From the Business
Mems League Inspects Ter
minals on Both Sides Of
the River.

Accompanied by President srcChesney the
members OF the Executive Committee Of the
Freight Congestion Committee Of the Busi-
ness Mems League made a tour of inspec-
ton over the st. Louis and East ST. Louis
terminals yesterday.
A member of the committee stated that
an exhaustive inspection was made Of the
freight conditions. the trip occupying the
entire day, and at an early date q report
would be made to the committee on the
freight situation as to the best plan by
which the present condition can be relieved
and similar congestions avoided in future.
It is stated that the original intention Of
the Executive Committee was to take but
little action toward suggesting measures
for the relief Of the present congestion, as
1t was understood that the railroads are
doing all they possibly can to relieve the
trouble. by placing embargoes on industries
which have more freight than they can ac-
cept. but while this to considerable ex-
tent has bettered the condition Of the in
dustrial lines the benefit is too slow. and
for that reason 1t is highly probable that
the committee will take action upon the
present situation.
A prominent traffic official. discussing the
situation yesterday, said:
Tho embargo placed upon the industries
has been OF but small benefit, and do not
believe that the situation is any better than
1t was weeks ago; in fact, from the present
outlook 1t seems that the winter will find US
with our tracks as congested as at present.
and that would mean block OF the worst
kind
oven though freight business is in bad
fix now. We find 1t impossible to get our cara
sent through because Of the condition In
a fhe MIL Greek Valley as there Is not SUI
1T seems to me that the Terminal Asso-
citation should have long since prepared for
this condition and hurried the completion
Of the North End belt line in order that
through freight for the Southwest could
have been sent over these tracks to a con-
nection with the Frisco or Missouri Pacific
without having to pass through the con-
gested Mill Creek Valley.
Il understand that the contractor having
the completion of the North End belt line in
hand has until late in the year to complete
it. but certainly the conditions warrant his
receiving a bonus to complete It as early as
possible.
Speaking for my road we have great ar
flculty In getting the Terminal Association
to handle our cars. and I understand that
a like complaint is made by other lines"
