 The heavy movement of coal to | port has taxed tug and barge facili- | ties heavily. Despite pooling at New York. it was found difficult to | handle receipts. At the shipping board it was said tugs and barges would be communicated if neces- sary to make the work more ef- ficient. At Hampton Roads heavy ice was interfering to some extent with bunkering.

Officials who sought the embargo as a means of relief for congestion declared this measure still would have to be taken or else non- essentials would have to be denied transportation before the railroad situation is improved ap- preciably.

Some other linesr accepted new freight but made no attempt to move it.
