Washington, Aug. 30.-AIl railroads
are preparing for the strike next Mon
day. Perishable freight is no longer
being received, which means that the
shipments of food supplies into the
large cities has been discontinued.
Announcements issued by nearly all
of the railroads in the country state
that they will arm their employees, but
the men will be warned not to shoot
unless attacked or interfered with. The
interference with Interstate Commerce
will invoke the aid of the Federal Gov
ernvent to check it, it became known
tonight.
Members of the BrotherhOOds, who
are on duty when 7 o'clock Monday
morning comes, will run their trains
into the roundhouse and quit work.
Those who are off duty have been no.
titled not to report for work. The
strikers will hold meetings twice daily
at each division point to check up the
absent members.
| The railroads are listing the en-
ployes who have announced they Will
remain loyal to the companies and are
hiring new men. While the railroads
admit they will not be able to furnish
frst-class service after next Monday
they insist they will be able to main
tain a partial freight and passenger
service.
Chicago, Aug. 30.-RailrOads of the
nation rushed preparations today tc
enforce the embargo on perishable
freight. Shipments of livestock anc
perishables were refused by some
roads today; others issued warnings
that perishable freight, which canno
reach its destination by Saturday, vii
not be accepted.

sengers that unless they reach their
destinations by Sunday night they
would be subjected to "perplexing de-
lays"
Big manufacturers and business
houses swamped telegraph companies
with messages urging that their ship
ments be rushed Many of them au-
thorized sending their orders by ex-
press. Several large commercial hOus-
es have already recalled their travel
ing representatives.
Operating officials of many of the
big railway systems speeded up plans
to meet the strike situation and pri-
vate detective agencies engaged to en-
poy additional help were urged to
more activity. Physical examination
of thousands of former railroad men
who, officials said, are willing to re-
! turn to work, was hastened.
Associated Press dispatches from all
parts of the country indicated that
within Is hours, unless a delay in the
strike is ordered, embargo orders will
be effective on practically every rail-
road in the country.
What this means to traffic and reve-
nues is said by railroad men to be
shown by the statement of an official
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
which announced an embargo on live
stock and perishable freight last night.
The official said that it would reduce
the traffic of the road one third.
Railroad men hoped that many mem
bers of the brotherhood would not
obey the strike order. In fact, it was
rumored that little if any pressure
would be brought to bear on the older
generation of engineers and conduc-
tors whose seniority has placed them
in well-paid positions, many of them
with pensioned leisure not far away.

He said that discipline in the academy
