FREIGHT EMBARGO LIFTED.
Causing Some Relief Among Barre Gran
ite Shippers.

A measure of relief in the freight con
gestion that has wrought havoc with the
shipment OF Barre granite in the past
fortnight came yesterday through the
announcement, received at the Office of
the NJ. & w r. railroad, that the New
York, New Haven & Hartford system
has lifted its embargo on freight through
certain channels Exceptions TO the rule
OF a general raising of the embargo that
settled down over shipping interests some
weeks ago are made in the case of freight
destined for transportation on the New
York harbor ferry boat system and the
ocean and coastwise ships along the At
lantic seaboard Very little granite is
shipped through these mediums and so
the manufacturers here are not mate
rally affected.
The decision Of the New Haven Off
cials, however, serves to open the so
called Harlem river channel, through
which tons of Barre granite are trans
ported annually. 1t serves also to clear
the way for shipments over the Penn
sylvania system, the Lehigh Valley road
and the New Jersey Central system, lines
that are constantly used by Barre ship
pers in routing through shipments for
western points. Clearance of routes on
The Grand Trunk system together with
he lifting of the embargo over the New
Haven road, combines to simplify situa
ion that was rapidly assuming serious
in the Barre granite belt.
and quarries alike were
beginning to feel the effects of the gener.

VOLUNTEER ARMY
PLAN RETAINED
Senate Vote, SO to 81, Against Striking
Out That Feature in Preference to
the National Guard Idea.

| Washington, d. G., April THE Sen,
ate retained the federal volunteer pro-
vision in the army bill late yesterday by
q vote OF 36 to a. rejecting Senator
| Lees amendment to strike the section
from the bill The vote ended four
day debate on the section.
Advocates of the National Guard as
the first line of defense behind the regu-
lar army supported the amendment Wig
orousv and the struggle was one Of the
sion OF Congress.
The narrow margin by which the fed
eral volunteer provision was retained
makes il doubtful that it will be in the
measure finally framed by the confer
ence committee between the two houses.
An effort during debate on the House
army bill to insert this section, which is
designed to provide such force as the
continental army proposed by former
Secretary Garrison, was decisively de.
feated.
Without Republican support the vol
unteer section would have been voted
ont by the Democratic senators despite
the fact that it vas unanimously recon-
mcnded by the military committee.

cans, including nearly all the progress
