Railroad Managers Take Step
to Relieve Freight Con-

Merchants and manufacturers who
have been slow TO accept freight
consignments from the railroads are
soon TO feel the pinch OF increased
demurrage charges as an incentive
for them to make speedier efforts In
unloading their cars. Announcement
TO this effect will be issued In few
days from New York. where the
central embargo committee, compos-
ed Of the presidents of seven east.
ern railroads and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Clark. are in
session.
The proposed rates will be 4S
hours, free time; the next Ihree
days 81 per day, and 81 q day there
after. These rates compare with
present charges based on AZ hours
free time and 81 day thereafter.
The intention of the railroads Is
TO arrive at a practical way OF re-
lieving the freight congestion, In
part, II was said here, the new or

one reason or another. have ordered
more goods than they conveniently
can accept nthis situation they
have resorted to using the cars as
storage places. thereby preventing
the roads from delivering cars for
which consignees were clamoring.
when officially announced the order
will 90 into effect at once.
The enforcing OF the order is not
expected to have any serious effect
in this city, as the congestion has
been confined almost entirely to the
Atlantic coast ports.
