ing Being Sent Out
FREIGHT OFFICES TO
CLOSE AFTER SUNDAY

That the embargo laid by the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad will not be modified in any
manner while the strike situation con-
tinues as at present, is the statement
of officials of the company. Many
kinds OF goods for shipment have been
affected in the last two days by the
embargo, and commencing at the
close of business tonight no goods OF
any kind will be accepted at freight
Offices for shipment. Already the en-
barge on perishable goods that took
effect last evening is causing the far
mers in lower Delaware great incon-
venience and great losses of money.
In anticipation of the strike, ad-
vances in the price of foods have al
ready been made. Flour has been adj
vanced. Ham advanced two cents a
pound wholesale, and another nali
cent is to be added.
While the embargo on all shipments
will take effect this evening, the freight
offices of the Maryland and Delaware
Divisions will be open tomorrow II is
believed by officials of the Delaware Di
vision, however, that it will not be
nece ssary to opeu their offices for tho
release Of goods. After Monday. how
ever, the Offices will be closed until tn,
strike situation clears.
Relative to this the following order
has been issued
"An official order is issued by IN,
freight department of the Pennsylyani,
Railroad to the effect that freight sta
tions of the large points will be opeI
! for delivery all day Sunday. This is t.
/ prevent any embarrassment to mer
chants who expect goods to be delivered
on Monday if the strike materializes."

men, called for O'Clock on Monda,
morning, orders have been issued by th
and Washington Railroad Company 70
many employees of the company in tn
Pennsylvania Building, and at the shop
10 report for work tomorrow. Thi
order pertains more TO the Office mel
than TO the shop force.
The address and means Of reaching
every employe Of the railroad in case
he is needed have been secured by
the officials of the company.
The only statement that can be OBJ
tanned by officials of the railroad il
regards to the strike is: I'VE are pre-
pared to meet a strike"
To protect their property in Ceci
county. the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington Railroad has re
quested Sheriff Richard K. Barnes t,
swear in seventy-five special oficerl
to be on hand in event Of the strike
The men will be paid Ave dollars pc
