Labor Troubles Tie Up
Ships i'm British Ports
Shortage of Trucks Also Adds
to Congestion, Some Cargoes
Being Held Eight DAYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-England is
confronted with one of the most scri-
Gus shipping situations the country
ever has known, despite the increase
in the number of ships flying the Brit
ish flag, the secretary of the port and
transit committee of London today
informed the Department of Commerce.
Labor trouble and the shortage of
railway trucks. the report said, are
holding up the movement of cargoes
and has caused such congestion at the
docks that some ships are allowed
to lie in the harbors from seven to
eight days before discharging their
cargoes. Increases in the price of
foodstuffs and raw materials result
from the heavy demurrage charges.
The shortage of railway trucks Is
estimated at 100000.
