At Baltimore Hope for
Greater Relief of Con-
gestlOn

Baltimore, Jan. 20.-Railroad officials
tonight seemed confident that during
the next two days of the close down
they will be able to relieve to a great
er extent the congestion at the ter
minaIs here than had been expected.
The Baltimore and Ohio brought 500
cars of general freight and coal for
placement tomorrow, which is a great
er number than has been placed in any
one day for some time. The Pennsyl-
vania figures on emptying of the 1000
cars in its yards and terminals here
before Wednesday.
1t is calculated that under favorable
weather conditions such as prevailed
yesterday and today in Maryland some
$1,000 tons \of coal should reach here
by Wednesday.
The ships are being bunked rapidly
and several more have cleared. Ice
conditions in the Chesapeake bay, how
ever, are still bad. Every sort of truck
and other conveyance were brought
into use today to carry freight and
the work goes on tonight. Some 2OO.-
900 persons will be idle by the shut
down of industries.
