OATS AND CORN EMBARGoED.
No Carload Shipments Into Eastern
Territory Allowed After Today.

WASHINGTON, Dee. S.-An abso-
Lutte embargo upon carload shipments of
corn and oats into Eastern territory,
effective at the close of business
tonight. has been issued by The
railroads car service commission at
tho request OF the food administration.
The administration says there is 2
plentiful supply Of these products in
the East for domestic consumption, AMI
the embargo is designed to divert a
large volume Of the traffic in supplies
for the allies TO Gulf and South At
lantic ports, to relieve congestion on
Eastern roads and permit the return
of cars belonging to Western lines.
The order, addressed TO all railroads,
SAYS:
by request of the United States
food administration and on account of
congestion in described territory, all
railroads will issue embargo effective
ut close of business Dee. 8, against
the loading, re-consignment or move.
ment Of carloads of corn and oats into
territory south OF the Canadian bound
ary, east Of the line separating Wis
consin and Michigan, Indiana and IL
linOis, and north Of the Ohio and l'o
tomac rivers, from points outside. No
exception to this embargo will be
made except as authorized by the com
mission on car service.
\ statement by the food administ7a-
tion gives this explanation Of the Re
cessitv for the drastic action:
There is very considerable
amount of soft corn in the Western
section of the country this year. 1t IS
highly desirable that this soft corn be
moved to markets having drying facih-
ties as rapidly as possible. It is
thought that with reasonable move
ment from now on the proportion of
waste will be comparatively very small.
1.-The Western lines are short If The
number Of box ears they own and need
these cars very badly for grain move
ment The ear commission short
time ago issued an order requiring Fast
crn lines to deliver TO Western lines
approximately $1,000 box ears to re.
| lieye conditions the present embargo
is designed to overcome, but the re-
turns to date show rather light deliv
cries to the Western lines. =

Act of Last May-Better Utilization

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE part
America S railroads have played in pre-
pairing the nation for war was related
to congress today in the annual report
Of the interstate commerce commission.
While struggling under unusual com
mercial demands, the commission ex
planned, the railroads were forced sud
denly to transport great numbers of
troops and quantities of cantonment ma
terials. The giant task was accom-
plishcd successfully, but only by co
operation of the roads among them
selves and with the commerce commits
sion.
The commission gave no specific
words of praise for the railroads, but
rommeudation was implied
Looking ahead. the commission sees
that il is necessary to develop to
Greater extent the principle of priority
for transgortation Of commodities es-
sentiai TO the conduct of the war, and
predicts ''broader action of this sort
in the near future.
No hint is given Of the commission =

called TO the Esch ear service act of

quate power TO the commission to vir-

This law gives authority whenever
the commission shall be Of the opinion
