Garfield Now Favors Embargo on Freight
 to Clear Up Tracks

tion problem was emphasized today by scores of reports that weather con- ditions were as bad or worse than at any time since the unprecedented pe- riod of cold and stormy weather start ed nearly two weeks ago. Heavy snow throughout New York and New Eng land, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and elsewhere made traffic movement extremely slow and cut the supply of empty cars to coal mines far below ever the subnormal supply of the last few days.
 The bright phase of the situation was a report of Fuel Administrator Garfield that ships were being bun. kered more rapidly than last week and that coal was going in sufficient quantities to domestic consumers These were the main purposes of the industrial curtailment order of five days ago, Dr. Garfield said, and con sequently the result of the industrial suspension was satisfactory.
 In the memorandum sent to Director General McAdoo suggesting the emoar- go, Dr. Garfield referred to the one-day embargo on all freight except food and fuel, declared yesterday by the Pnnsyl- vania lines east of Pittsburg, and sug- gested that similar action should be taken for several days, particularly on the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio, and the Philadelphia and Reading. War munitions and supplies, he said, might be exempted.
 Such an embargo would be especially effective if it could follow immediately the five days covered by the January l7 order" said the memorandum. This would make an embargo effective tomor- row.
 During the last two months of 1917 the administrator declared, increasingly acute car shortage on the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio neutralized ev- cry effort for increasing production at the mines Empty cars were not at the loaded cars did not reach their con signees.
 WEATHER NULLIFIES
 While the railroads were operated sep arately although in cooperative plan,' he added, they seemed to have found it impossible to remedy this situation, and since director general of railroads has been appointed, we have had nothing but unprecedentedly severe weather, al- most nullifying his efforts"
 During the six weeks ending January ,, it was explained, coal production lost because of car shortage amounted to 19 per cent. 90 per cent, 34 per cent, 4 per cent, and per cent, respectively. Con- ditions were worst on the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania.
 The fuel administration today reported better movement of empty cars to mines of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other fields. although the railroad administra- tion reports were less hopeful.
 In statement summarizing the results of his fuel curtailment order, Dr. Gar field said:
 Our reports show that the prime pur- poses sought to be accomplished by the

 The record of the investigation to date was hastily prepared today to be fur
 nished to senators in readiness for Thursdays debate. Late in the day Sem ator Chamberlain included in the record
 a statement furnished by the war depart rnent showing shortages of equipment in national guard and national army can torments on January l. On that date the | overcoat shortage was over in all camps and the principal deficiencies in most of the camps were underclothing items,
 but Camp Lee Virginia. showed a large shortage of woolen coats, Camp Funston, Kansas. 50 per cent in blankets and Camp Funston. Kansas, and Camp Se- yier, South Carolina, reported shortages of 6 and GO per cent, respectively in woolen brooches and coats.
 MORE PUBLICITY TO BE GIVEN Prompted by President Wilson's statement last night, the ordnance bu- | reau of the war department has enn- l parked upon new publicity policy.

REPORTS ON CAR SUPPLY

A. H, Smith, assistant director gen. eral, reported tonight that in the Pitts burg coal territory the car supply was only 10 per cent of normal Ohio got practically a full supply, but Indiana was short. West Virginia and Vir- ginia obtained fewer empties than yes terday.
 "The low temperature will result in increasing reports of shortage of cars, MT. Smith added.
 During the past 24 hours tempera- ture has ranged from 20 below in Ohio to from below to 12 above in the Pittsburg district; below in central Pennsylvania, 15 above at St. Louis and Chicago, 22 above at Buff falo and 10 to q above in New York and New England.
 Heavy snows through the noun tains of Pennsylvania and Virginia and east to tidewater," said the report, "caused slower train movements"
 The movement into New England yesterday was about 220 cars. At Chi cago the yards arc slowly being cleared of snow. Dressed beef. live stock and perishables were moving east freely, and the delivery of box cars to western roads was reported in- creasing. Yesterday 2700 cars of coal, 20 per cent less than normal, were received at Chicago.
 LABOR SHORTAGE
 At many places. Mir. Smith reported, the shortage of labor, skilled and un- skilled, was becoming more pro- nounced, men refusing to work when the weather is so cold" Locomotives were much less effective under low temperatures.
 Director General McAdoo announced during the day that about seven new engines are being delivered daily to eastern lines by manufacturers, and that this number will be doubled with in a few weeks.

TRIBUTE TO LABOR INDUSTRY

The statement also paid tribute to the patriotic cooperation of American in- dustry. capital and labor.
 Northern ports today dumped 34,Go0 tons i, of bunker coal and there was 60.00o on hand ready for dumping. At southern ports 150,000 tons was on hand and 100,- 900 more on the way.
 Bunkering was hampered today by cold weather and much coal had to be thawed before it could be handled.
 Fuel administration officials called att tention tonight to the fact that coal will continue to move first to household users, public utilities, public institutions and ships, since that part of the curtailment order creating preferential list remains
 in force until revoked
 It was evident that the fuel admnistra- tion was disappointed In that the order did not relieve railroad congestion as much as hoped for. Weather conditions were blamed for this. but it was clear also that fuel administration officials felt that a general embargo against the receipt of freight during the five-day closing period would have helped mate riallv in this respect.
