Efforts Of Austrian statesmen to quiet

The trouble is said to be a mixture OF
war WEAKNESS hunger and anti-Gcrman-

Austrian leaders in quieting the tumut is
in the success OF the negotiations at

Washington. Jan. 23.-An unofficial
embargo on all freight except food, fuel
and munitions virtually was in effect
tonight east OF the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers,
as a result of Director General Nc
Adoo's authorized embargo today on
three eastern trunk lines.
Although the restriction was applied
formally only to the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore & Ohio east Of Pitts

other railroads accepted little freight
today. particularly II it was destined
for eastward movement. The situation
probably will continue for several days,
until milder weather permits railroads
to begin to move the great quantities
Of general freight accumulated during
the past two weeks of winter storms.
Contributing Factors
Factors contributing to the unofficial
embargo were the priority Of move

continued preference in coal deliveries
given to domestic consumers, ships

in regard to it.
When the vote WAS announced the polnt
of no Quorum was made and the confer

discussion of the subject wnen another
meeting is held. The resolution voted on
was introduced by Rep. Gillett of Massa-
chusetts acting as floor leader as sub
stitute for the ACCOMPLISHMENT reso-
luton considered last week. 1t follows:
Text of Resolution
Whereas in the conduct Of the existing
war the Republican members of the
House of Representatives have taken the
position that there should be no partisan
ship but all Americans should unite IN
support of the government in pressing
the war 20 a successful conclusion and in
voting ungrudgingly the administration
all the resources and powers to that end
and will continue so to do: and
Whereas the need of united country
demands that where conditions exist caus-
ing unnecessary delay or waste due to the
overla piping jurisdiction of the bureaus
and departments or for other causes re-
vealed by congressional Investigations it
IL their patriotic duty to suggest reme-
dies for such conditions;
