NORMAL FREIGHT
CONDITIONS AGAIN
i, HERE, ,SAYSLOYALL

Freight conditions in Washington
are again normal. according to a
statement made to The Times today
by George R. Loyal, freight admins
traitor Of the District. In making it
known he paid tribute to the loyal
cooperation of the local merchants,
who, handicapped by weather condI-
tions, worked hard during the latter
part of the week to bring about nor
NAL conditions at the freight houses
choked with goods awaiting hauling
His statement follows:
weather conGItions prevented con-
siderable local hauling. The mer-
chants here did more than they were
expected TO do unuer the circum-
stances. The windup of the week
found them increasing their hauling.
Everything is now considered in
good shape at the freight stations.
1t is very encouraging. The freight
houses Lre well cleaned up. The mer-
chants did their hauling the latter
part OF the week, cleaning up In
good shape.
General freight conditions here are
in normal shape again, and much
better than they have ueen for some
