TAAW|NC WEATHER
Brings Prospect of I'm.
expected Relief to the
Railroads of East

Washington. Feb. Sudden having
weather today brought prospects of IN
expected relief to railroads of the biz
zard stricken east. They could not re-
cover instantly from the bitter cold OF
the past few days, however. and coal
transportation, accordingly still was far
below normal.
Reports to the railroad and fuel admin
istrations said many coal mines were not
supplied with empty cars and that traffic
was tied up SO badly in principal rail CEN
tiers that it would take a week to restore
even the same degree of order that pre-
vailed last week.
Labor was more plentiful today, how
ever, and loading and unloading opera
ions went on fast in most Of the country.
Coal still was frozen in cars which have
been standing in the open for days and
it will take a day or two more Of moder-
ate temperature to thaw it out. This
condition was particularly bad in New
YORK and other eastern ports. where diff
Guilty is being encountered in bunkering
ships.
Reports from A. II. Smith, regional d.
rector of railroads in the East, said YES
terday's freight movement was about 40
per cent. below normal, and this applied
to coal as we'll as to general freight State
fuei administrators eported that reserve
stocks of coal had disappeared in many
cases and that industries were prepared
10 smut down unless shipments were freer
tomorrow
The shortage of fuel in New England
was little relieved, since the naoderatiug
weather was slower in reaching that sec
ton, and ice in the harbor at New York
hampered movement OF coal b. water.
Conditions in Chesapeake bay and BaIti-
more harbor were reported the worst
ever known by Mr. Smith
The fuel administration again had I'M
der consideration the abandonment OF
tuehess Mondays after next week. but
today's reports did not add much to hopes
that the industrial suspension order might
be abandoned.
