G.. g. o. ONLY RAILWAY HERE
TO PREPARE FOR TROUBLE

Preparing to meet trouble Saturday
night, should the threatened railway
strike be entered upon by the brother
hood men, the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway yesterday issued instructions
csta blishing "embargoes on all freight
OF all kinds from all points for all des-
tinations," effective with the close Of
business last night. Other railways
having offices in Richmond have not
yet taken any action in this direction,
but 1t is probable news of embargoes
declared may reach Richmond Offices
today.
An air of uncertainty marked the
situation in Richmond offices of all
railways not having general off1ces
here. Nothing has been heard by
Offices here from the principal offices
of the Atlantic Coast Line, the Sea-
board Air Line, the Norfolk and West
ern or the Southern. but news of re-
strctions on freight shipments is
looked for today or tomorrow. %
r., +. ~ =. Men 10 Stick.
The Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac, whose chief office is in this
city, and whose lines run from Rich
mond to Washington, did not antici-
pate serious trouble. The line is
short one, though important, being
the connecting link between the North
and South, and employees of the road
already arc enjoying better conditions
on the whole than the brotherhoods
are demanding.
Engineers of the r., F. & p, II is
said. did not even participate in the
strike vote, and they viii stick with
the railway. Because of this the r.,
+, & f.. does not at this time con-
template that 1t will be necessary to
declare cmbarGoes or to curtail ship
ments or service.
Embargo On Everything But Coal.
The Chesapeake and Ohio embargo
notice issued yesterday embraces ship
ments of all kinds except fuel coal for
the Chesa peake and Ohio lines. The
embargo adds:
"Regardless of the date OF billing or
acceptance. no freight in transit will
he accepted from connecting lines OF
the Chesapea Ike and Ohio and bills of
1ading issued until further notice by
the COMPANY. must state that the ship
mcnt is SUBJECT to delay. loss or dam
age
This embargo takes precedence
over all notifications Of embargoes
that have been previously issued,
and any freight, the acceptance of
which may heretofore, have been
arranged for. will not be accepted If
the acceptance is In conflict with this
embargo"
