I|E UP AFFECTS IOWA
CENTRAL YARDS AT MASON CITY
BADLY coNeEsnED BY
swircHMENs STRIKE.
OVER 200 FREIGHT
CARS ARE TIED UP
Other Roads Also Seriously Handi-
capped on Account of Twin City
Shipments Being Piled Up at Divi-
sion Points-Asent Harris Says
Sympathy is Largely With Strikers

Mason City, Jan. 4.-Local freight
yards are badly congested because of
the strike of switchmen in the Twin
Cities. Conditions are growing worse
as the strike in the northwest contin-
ues and at present there are in the local
yards of the Iowa Central 200 cars
more than there should be to make
rapid handling of freight a possibility.
With the tie-up in the Twin Cities the
freight enroute is gradually being piled
up in the various division points
along the lines entering those cities
and the local yards are getting their
share at least.
In the Milwaukee yards the conges-
ton is also a problem. G. W. Harris
of the Iowa Central says that he tried
I to make arrangements yesterday for
the transfer of fifteen cars to the Mil
waukee and that the yard authorities
for that road were unable to state
whether they could handle those fif-
teen cars for a day or two.
During the strike the NJ. & st. L..
and the Iowa Central are handling
much of the southbound traffic from
the Twin Cities. They are running
many trains and are consequently
short of trainmen. Two trains of flour,
southbound from Minneapolis, were
tiled up in the local freight yards of
the Iowa Central yesterday because
their crews had worked out their time
and there were no men to take their
places.
Conditions Worse Than Reported.
Mr.. Harris of the Iowa Central has
just spent a week in the Twin Cities
and he says that the conditions re-
sulting from the strike there are much
worse than most of the news stories
relate. Sympathy is, he says, largely
with the strikers and the strike
breakers and scabs are much maligned.
He also says that passenger trains go
into the Twin Cities in proper order
but they come out wrong end in front
because it is impossible to switch them
around in the yards there on account
of the strike.
