IN order to relieve the freight con-
gestion an embargo on all shipments
between Pacific coast points and New
York. Long Island and Jersey City was
ordered by the railroad administra-
tion yesterday
severely affecting the oyster shippers
at West Sayville, L. l., who say numer-
Gus carloads of oysters intended for
European and Western shipment are
being delayed. Freight shipments over
the Long Island Railroad, it was
stated, may now be made only three
times week. At the Bay Ridge yards
OF this system 175 cars of freight
bound for the West were tied up for
lack of tugs.
At the Office of j. II. Mantel terminal
director OF the port for the railroad
administration, it was stated that prac-
tically all of the $4,000 freight handlers
employed along the piers of the rail
roads and steamship companies at the
beginning Of the strike are now idle.
1900 More Out of Work
John F. Riley, chairman of the Dis
trict Council of the international Asso-
citation of Longshoremen, said that
$1,000 longshoremen are without jobs
as result Of The strike, thus making
a total of 10000 men thrown out Of
work
The municipal ferries were still run
ming, as were the three lines of the
Lackawanna system, from Twenty
third, Barclay and Christopher streets.
The congestion about the Twenty-thlrd
Street terminal assumed unusual pro
portions during the afternoon, when
more than 800 trucks, stretching along
West Street, were detained for SIX
hours or more, a great many of them
having been there since morning.
With the cutting off of three ferry
lines in Brooklyn, running from Hamil-
ton Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and Full
ton Street, Brooklynites focked to the
subways, "L" lines and trolleys yester
day to get to Manhattan, causing
greater crowding than ever
The heavy burden thrown on the
Hudson tubes has not yet been re-
lieved, although there was less con-
fusion. The municipal ferries in
Brooklyn running to Staten Island
continued their service yesterday, as
did those between Thirty-ninth Street
and the Battery, and Greenpont and
Twenty third Street, Manhattan.

the War Finance Corporation, but sim

agency.
1t is understood that Mr. Meyer con-
frmed the statement that approximate
ly $500, 100000 VIII be available from
that source il the corporation managers
of the road can be induced to apply for

ton and Mr.. Meyer were extremely ret

Regional directors of the railroad
administration, comprising the operat-
ing heads of the roads under Federal
management, are in Washington for
rector General.
Directors Concerned Over Wages
The regional directors, it is under
stood, are concerning themselves prin-
cipally at this time with the proposed
increase in wages for the employees of
the roads affiliated with the four great
brotherhoods. 1t is understood the
demand IS to be granted and will in
voive boost in the payroll of between
100000 geo and $1O0,0O0,000.
No indication has been received that
any of the roads viii balk at the sug-
gestior that they borrow funds from
the banks to help make up the sums

the railroad administration. 1t is as
sumed this matter will be discussed at
the Tuesday conference.

bulletin board placed conspicuously

bulletin board placed conspicuously
near the road is a help to both producer
and consumer in making business con
tact. Many city dwellers now travel
far out into the country by automobile,
and this fact can be turned to account
in securing customers by using bulle-.
tin board. This method will be espec-s
tally useful on clean,' well-kept farms.
The statements on the board should
give the articles for sale, together with
their prices, delivered to the purchas-
er's door by parcel post, and the main
items should be in lettering large
enough to be read quickly.
Warning notices might be placed at.
a proper distance in each direction from
the main bulletin. The wording on
these warning boards should be brief
but pointed, such, for example, as Fair

Stationery q Help
If a farmer expects to develop a bust
ness of selling produce to strangers he
will find it advisable to have printed
stationery bearing the name of the
farm, with envelopes to match If the
farm is not named an appropriate
name should be selected. A simple,
though attractive and businesslike
letterhead can be printed without much
cost. It should give the name and To-
cation of the farm, the farmers name,
and a simple statement of the business.
Elaborate and highly colored letter
heads embellished with illustrations of
buildings, fruits, or animals should be
avoided
Blank statement forms or invoices to
fill in and inclose with shipments
should be supplied. Persons receiving
produce by mail wish to know the price
of the shipment, and by the use of
printed statement forms the shipper
can furnish this information without
much trouble.
Labelling Parcels
Each parcel must bear the name and
address Of the shipper, the name and
address of the person for whom intend
ed and the nature of the contents, such
as Fragile or "Perishable." AS tags
frequently are torn off, it is best ! to
have this information written or stamp
ed directly on the outer wrapper or con-
tainer If the only mark of identity OF
producer and consumer is on tag and
the tag is lost, the parcel can neither be
delivered nor returned to the sender.
Producers who have business enough
to justify them may secure gummed
labels wOrded somewhat as follows:

From

Blank, Virginia.
PERISHABLE
EGGS.

The wording may be changed to suit
the product shipped, changing Eggs
to Poultry Butter or Vegetables .
and "Perishable'' to Fragile" as the
case may require.
These labels, if properly applied,
should not come off. They will serve
as an advertisement and may result in
inquiries from other customers.
Business Relations With Customers
Once contact has been made and ship
ping begun it is important that proper
business relations be established and
maintained, for on these depend sue
cess. The difficulty frequently met in
obtaining the first order makes it i'm
portant for the producer to use bust
nesslike methods to retain the trade
that he secures
Whether a person is successful in
parcel-post marketing depends largely
on his adaptability to this work If
to him he may never learn how to keep
up a business relationship Thousands
of persons who have been successful in
obtaining customers have been unsuc-
,cessful in keeping them. Much has
been learned from the experience of
both successful and Unsuccessful ship
pers
The most important feature in a bust
ness relationship is a square deal.
Good grading Of produce. strict blsi-
ness. honesty, prompt attention to COR
respondence and orders. and satisfac-
tory adjustment of complaints are
needed. The consumer as well as the
producer should do his part in these
matters, II

County and State
War Cole ctions
Task Of Collecting State War Records
an Interesting One. Record
to be Permanent.
War Records to be Assembled i'm COu1-
ty and State Collections.

In its work of collecting the records
of Minnesota's participation in the
war, the Minnesota War Records Com
mission has in view the building up of
both county and state war collections.
The work is authorized and financed
by the Public Safety Commission The
county war collections are to be housed
permanently in libraries, courthouses,
or in other suitable repositories in the
several counties, and as rule at the
county seats. The state war collection
is being assembled at the Historical
Building in st. Paul under the perman-
ent care Of the State Historical So
ciety.
According to this plan Marshall
county, for example, will ultimately
possess in the county war collection as
sembled by the County War Records
Committee, now at work Cor soon to be
organized) here, complete records Of
the war services performed both at
home and abroad by the various indi
vlduals, organizations, and communi-
ties of this county. Such collection
will include the record of every Mar
shall county man in the federal or
state military service, complete files of
all newspapers published in Marshall
county during the war, photographs of
the county's soldiers and sailors, views
of local subjects and events of wartime
interest, publicity matter, and perhaps
the official records, correspondence
files, and papers of the local branches
in Marshall county of the various war
organizations, soldiers letters, posters
and printed miscellany, decorations,
trophies, and relics.
The state war collection in st. Paul,
~on the other hand, will for the most
part reflect the war services of the
state as a whole. In it will be included
a complete set of the individual records
of Minnesota men in the service, which
are now being compiled in duplicate by
the County War Records Committees
all available records relating to the
statewide management and achieve
ments of the innumerable wartime
mission is gathering directly from the
various state headquarters in st. Paul
and Minneapolis; and a representative
collection of material relating to local
war activities in communities through
out the state. An important part OF
the last named class Of records has al
ready been assembled by the State His
torical Society in the course Of it's nor
mal activities in the form of files OF
cover half the newspapers published il
Minnesota during the period of the war
In order that other types of local wal
history material may also be represent
,ed in the state war collection, the Com
mission is urging its county committees
so far as possible to secure or make
duplicates Of records acquired for thu
county collections and to send in thi:
duplicate local material as part of thu
counties contributions to the ceptra
war collection.

How Producers Can Develop Trade.

For producers who wish to market by

of finding customers is to write to

This method Of establishing business

but oftep gives satisfactory results to
