The city, and, in fact, the nation at
large, apparently refuses to take the
threat of strike seriously. The cry
of wolf last october developed no wolf
and the public evidently expects some
thing to stop between it and disaster
at this time.
RESTS WITH PRESIDENT.
The whole matter. however, seems to
rest now with President Wilson. Ger
tainly, II each camp holds to declara-
tions, the strike will be called to begin
at p. m. Saturday.
Everyone connected with the situn-
ton expects the president to act and
act promptly when the time arrives.

TO PREVENT THE
TRANSFERRING OF
SHIPS TO u. S. FLAG

Washington. March 15.-Senator
Stone. chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, who opposed the
armed neutrality bill, today offered a
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted, asking the secretary of COM
merce to supply the senate a list of
all sea going vessels" that have APP
piled to this government for registra-
ton.
It asked a full list of all sea going
vessels which have applied for regis
try under the laws of the United
States; what vessels have been grant
ed registration between Jan. 1, 1916,
and March 10, 1917; name and charac-
ter of vessels before application was
made: the name under which registra-
ton was granted; name of the nation
and flag which it operated under prior
the application; the name of person
or persons, association or corpora
ton applying for registration, and ex-
act date of application and issuance
Of registry.
While Stone at first refused to dis
cuss his resolution, 1t is believed to
be a preliminary step in the cam
palgn to prevent foreign owners OF
vessels from hurriedly registering
their boats under the American flag
to take advantage of the privilege OF
arming them, a privilege denied by
several neutrals.
At the same time Senator Stone in
troduced his resolution, Secretary OF
Commerce Redfield issued an order
prohibiting the giving out of any in
formation regarding the merchant ma
rine. 1t was made plain this order
covered issuance of any news regard
ing ship construction or registry.

RAILROADS NOT

FOR SHIPMENT,

Five Railroads Place En-
bargoes on Livestock and.
Perishable Shipme en- is
Which Will Not Reach
Destinations Before Sat-
urday.

Chicago, March 15.-Five railroads
entering Chicago today placed embar-
goes on livestock and perishable ship
ments which will not reach their desti-
nations before the time set for the
strike order to go into effect.
The roads which have issued embar-
goes are the Baltimore G. Ohio, South.
ern, Big Four Illinois Central and
Frisco.
These roads have also put in force
the damage waiver" restriction on all
dead freight received by them. They
will not carry any freight unless ship
pers agree to waive possible damage
through delay or non delivery.
TO AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS.
The Rock Island will issue no en-
barge orders at this time, Superintend-
emit J. r. Pickering states Develop
ments will influence future action.
According to D. L. Bush, vice pres-
dent of the Chicago. Milwaukee s. st.
Paul railroad, officials of the western
roads will meet here either late today
or tomorrow to determine what action
will be taken in regard to the issuance
of embargoes on western roads.
FOLLOW LEAD OF EAST.
The general opinion here is that
western roads terminating in Chicago
will follow the lead of eastern lines.
II eastern lines are tied up. business
necessarily will be suspended on the
other railroads and vice versa. Eacn
system is dependent upon the other to
a great extent.
But, despite their Indifferent atti-
tude. the railroad managers feel Ger
tain that a break will come. Neither
side has shown the slightest indication
of a backdown or any apprehension
over consequences that may follow a
strike.
The usual hysteria that was preva-
lent among the travelling public Just
before the crisis last fall is also miss
ing. Little II any increase in the av-
erage clearance through Chicago Is no.
ticeable the past few days.

way strike situation. Railroad Off
cials declare that even though west
ern railroads are not included In the
proposed strike order, the situation
would be serious owing to the con-
gestton OF freight on eastern roads.
