been sent out all over three roads, so
that supplies coming into the city will
be affected the same as those going
out. Local agents said today that
shipments would be accepted for local
points the same az usual up to the
last minute. But the embargo. as Is
sued today, has reference not only to
the lines Issuing the Iders, but also
any connecting lines ever which the
freight may have to pass.
y Other Freight Subject TO Delay.
Outside Of peripha Bile freight, live
stock and explosives, all other freight
will be accepted, but only "at the
which may grow out Of genera!

the freight situation had been received
by any Of the agents in the city.
M. e. st. 1. Warns Men.
Trainmaster Hugh Mccarthy, Of the
M. & ST. L., Wednesday received cir
cular letters from E. E. Kerwin, gem
eral superintendent, with instructions
to pass them out to all the men. The
letters are addressed to all engineers,
firemen, and trainmen. They are dated
at Minneapolis Aug. 80, and go over
briefly the conditions out of which the
impending strike has grown. The pur-
pose of the letter, as stated in the third
paragraph is to remind the men that
the 'long period of friendly relations
between this company, its officers and
the men is about to be broken by your
act in leaving this service" The cir
cular then goes on to say that the
ne MIR ia IA
strike will be as follows:
Promote Men Who Stay.
-"Employes who remain con-
tinuously in the service will be placed
at the head Of the respective service
rosters in the order of their present
relative positions thereon, and will
thereafter be considered as senior en-
ployes Of the company.
Employees who join In the
strike do, by such action, leave the
service Of the company, and in so do
ing all rights and privileges as en-
ployes cease.
Employees who leave the SER
vice may re-enter same only at the
option Of the division superintendent,
and then only as new employees, their
positions on the roster dating from the
date they are permitted to resume
duty. Before again entering the SER
vice they will be required to pass the
physical examination prescribed for
new employees and will also be re-
quired to pass the examination on the
rules as prescribed for etmployes Of
the class of service which they enter"
The letter closes with an appeal to
the men to give the matter careful
consideration, and asks if the present
grievances are so great as to justify
the men in jeopardizing all they have
gained while in the company's ser
vice.
Advertises For New Men.

papers about the Htate at points where

AT WASHINGTON soon

Senator Willard Salisbury, received
in his law offices this morning a dele
cation from the Chamber of Commerce
protesting against the revenue bill
passed several days ago by the house
and now in the Senate. which would
place a tax of per cent on gross re-
ceipts Of explosive companies, includ-
ing the =. l. DUPONT de Nemours and

is OF the opinion that this bill would
not only work a hardship on the local
company but that it would be a
general detriment 10 the business
interests of the city.
Thomas F. Bayard and John F.
Neary presented the argument
against the bill on behalf Of the dele
cation, pointing out what an injustice
the bill would work on Wilmington
in general. The conference with
Senator Salisbury was satisfactory

ARE DISAPPOINTED

Wilmington had its one chance in
many a moon to see a moon made
Of green cheese" last night. But Will
mington didn't even get glimpse of
the moon through the sky-veiling
clouds that swept swiftly overhead
and threatened TO shower the city
with rain at any moment.
Officially Washington had given out
information that the moon would be
eclipsed from 1913 till 11.45 when
four-fifths of the moons surface
would be hidden by the earth's shad-
ow. The eclipse would be visible in
the United States, it was said. and
locally there came information that
the moon would appear as green as
the proverbial green cheese during
the phenomenon.
Unfortunately for the neck-craning
citizens the clouds broke up the en-
tertainment and the nearest ap-
proach to a sight of fair Luna came
in a glow in the clouds which might
have been the moon or the reflection
of the lights in the city's center.
But cheer up-the worst is yet tC
come. There will be a total eclipse
OF the moon on January 8. 1917. and
then there will be no nossibility oi
