FREIGHT BLOCKADE
 GRADUALLY BREAKING
Conditions Reported Improving Though Still Far From Normal
 Factories Hunting Raw Material.
Conditions
Improving

A gradual untangling of the freight
 blockade from which this section of the country has been suffering for some time and especially since last
 weeks big storm is reported. At the local freight house the situation has
 improved considerably according to
 Freight Agent Cosgriff. For several
 days due directly to the storm the
 house was choked with goods. Last
 week it was impossible to operate
 auto trucks which now figure heavily in transportation work and where sleighs and teams were used it was necessary to use double hitches and then only half loads could be hauled. Much freight that was tied up at functions and terminal points has been released and holiday goods, long over- due, are arriving in quantity. Prefer ence of course is given to foodstuffs and perishables. While conditions are still far from normal and prob ably will remain congested for some time to come, the railroad and traffic men feel that the worst is over.
 It is reported, however that many of the big factories in the city are short of working material and depart ments are in constant danger of stoppage because of the non-arrival or needed material. A number of the big corporations have sent their traffic men out on scouting expeditions, chas- ing up lost shipments and seeking to hustle raw material through. Both coal and iron are almost impossible to obtain on account of the freight block ades and car shortage, forcing some of, the local concerns to get along from hand to mouth.
 Switching in the local yards and sidings are being operated both day and night and even Sundays at pres ent. Four crews are employed in this work and the men are continually on the jump.

PROTEST TO ENGLAND.
U. s. Objects to Presence of British
 Cruisers or American Ports.

Washington Dec. 21.-Another pro- test against the presence of British cruisers close off New York and other American ports has been made to Great Britain by the state department
 The explanation by the British government of the chase of the Wag- ner liner Vineland, while on her way from New York to Newport News has been accepted as satisfactory but the incident has been made the basis of the new protest against maintenance of British cruisers just outside the three mile limit and in the neighbor- hood of American ports as an annoy ing and unwarrantable interference with American commerce.

governed Every page sent out by these men makes for a better citizen ship, a loftier patriotism. Every page sent out under the frank of MT. Underwood for the drink traff1kers, aids an institution that is subversive of good government and in every respect an enemy of the Republic.
 Mr. Mann opened his address with the following outburst of virtue: "I am for morality and against immoral ity; I am for decency and against in- decency; am for temperance and against drunkenness; l am for virtue and against vice; am for law and orr der and against crime and disorder; I am for the right and against the wrong He could have continued with perfect propriety and truthful ness and said, I am for saloons, brownies distiIleries, and all their &C., compartment; and against granting to the people the right to so amend or change the organic law as to get rid of them This, by his speech and vote is exactly what he did say.
 Forfeit All Right.
 "It is not a pleasant task to single out public officials and discredit them in the public mind; but when men called to high positions of honor and trust, as MT. Mann and MT. Under wood have been called by the people, step down from their lofty positions to become the specific guardians and protectors of the liquor interests against the people, they forfeit all right to the favorable consideration of a decent, self-respecting, home-loving public. MT. Mann, the alleged author of the law against the white slave traffic and MT. Mann the sponsor for the liquor traffic become the Doctor Jekyll and MT. Hyde of the United States Congress.
 There was great fitness in the theme used by Doctor Boynton. who lives in MT. Mann's district when he preached on the following Sunday night upon The Fall of Mann and uttered that keen sentence that ought to live, that no Presidential bee can live in alcohol The liquor interests
New Britain herald., 1915-07-07

Chicago for the liquor interests 1t was a great debate; at times persuas- i've. earnest and eloquent, and again rising to the fury of a tornado, it swept the hall like a hurricane in the forest. The opposition brought out what were supposed to be their heaviest guns ear ly in the discussion-Judg Henry of Texsa, chairman of the rules commit tee; MT. Underwood of Alabama, Dem socratic floor leader; and MT. Mann of Illinois, the Republican leader.
 Goes After Underwood.
 MT. Underwood's speech, giving it the best construction possible, was a strained effort to deceive by misrep- resentation and to furnish material for the liquor propaganda. MT. Under wood must have been imposed upon in the statistics that were evidently given to him by those whom he served They did not rise to the stan- dard of being adroitly set forth. MT. Underwood may know something about the tariff and kindred govern mental questions, but his ignorance of the whole field of temperance reform. as indicated by his speech, reveals the fact that someone has very success fully used him.
 "The best evidence of the utter un- reliability of his utterances may be found in the facts that the liquor traffickers are circulating his speech by the million copies. They always avoid circulating any document that tells the truth about their business. Think of man exalted to the high position of floor leader of great political party becoming the mouthpiece of the drink traffickers in the arena where his honorable position made him supreme. Not only did they use him as their mouthplece on the floor of Congress, but they are using his franking privilege for sending broad cast his liquor-advocating speech.
 Lauds Hobson's Work.
 Tt may be said in reply that MT. Hobson, Senator Sheppard and others, use their franking privilege to send out matter combating the liquor traffic. Quite true! But there is this difference: The duty of civil govern ment is to promote the welfare of the
