FREIGHT AWAITING REMOVAL
Congestion Brings Unparalleled Sit.
uation in Inland WATERWAYS,

CLEVELAND. Ohio, April 10.-Con-
gestion of freight waiting to be moved
on the great lakes has brought about
a situation unparalleled in inland water
history, according to a statement issued
today by the Lake Carriers Association
headquarters here. The volume of
grain and iron ore freight under con-
tract, says the statement, has now
reached one hundred million tons
The congestion has been caused part
" because of great increase in the
demand and partly by the backwardness
in the opening of the navigation sea-
son. 1t will probably be May 1 before
navigation is under way.
Ships that have been idle for years
are being hurriedly made ready to enter
trade again.
Employment will be given thousands
of seainen, who have been out of the
service for years. and wages will be
higher, it was announced.
