COAL SHORTAGE PROBABLE
SHIP LINES ANNOUNCE EMBAR-
GO ON FREIGHT FOR INLAND
POINTS.

New York. Aug. 31-Representative
Of New York city and it's various in
iustries were making feverish efforts
onight to prevent a complete paraly-
sis of traffic in the event of the threat
ened nationwide railroad strike.
Millions of persons, it was estimated,
may be thrown out of New York and
ether American ports particularly
freight traffic, virtually would be at
standstill. it was admitted by repre-
sentatives of steamship lines. 1t was
regarded as doubtful as whether Euro
9ean freight traffic would be able to
continue any length of time.
Coastwise shipping lines announced
that as a result of the railroad freight
embargo they will be unable TO accept
freight except from terminals and
points which can be reached by water.
Official notices to this effect will be is.
sued tomorrow.
Embargoes declared by the various
railroads already are having a serious
effect on commerce, it was said. One
IF the most serious problems the
steamship lines are facing is a pos
5iblc shortage OF bunker coal Ship
agents say that the reserve supply in
New York and vicinity is not suffi-
,ient to carry the demand over any
eng length of time. the supply COM
panies depending in the main on daily
shipments by rail from the mines.
While there has been accumulated
in many of the terminals here suf-
licient cargo to load ships now in port,
vessels on their way here undoubtedly
will face an additional shortage of
cargo. The loss to manufacturers, ship
owners, charterers and labor, it was
said, would be tremendous.
Thousands Of manufacturing con-
Germs throughout the country which
have been supplying the warning ma
tons abroad with foQdstuffs clothing,
munitions and other articles, probably

said.
Shipments of grain, which are now
beginning and for which many vessels
have contracted cargo space, virtually
would be stopped. The loss to the
farming community in all parts Of the
United States, it was said, might
bring about unprecedented conditions.

The entrance of Roumania into the
war means that fifteen nations are
now in conflict. The iron ring OF which
the Germans have complained is tigh-
tening. It now extends around Russia
and Roumania on the east: Serbia on
the south; Montenegro and Albania on
the southwest; Italy on the south and
vest, and France on the east. The
space at Belgrade through Serbia
shows the road the Austrials have kept
open to Constantinople.
The only other points where terri
tory of the central powers is not
touched by war is Switzerland on the
southwest, Holland on the northwest,
and Denmark on the north. The Bal
tic is disputed.

INSPECTOR URGES
PLACE FOR TRASH

Sanitary Inspector Bussey makes a
request of those who collect rubbish
and trash about the premises to put
this in the alleys in convenient places
in order that the carts can get it with
the shortest possible delay.
1t is suggested that this plan will
be much better for the reason that
it will not be possible for the trash
to get scattered in the cutters where
the rains will stop the intake basins
with it..
a convenient place in the alleys or
on the rear of the lot is better than
to have it deposited in the gutter.
