CONDITIONS BETTER
IN RAILROAD YARDS

Conditions in Indianapolis railroad
yards improved today. The effect on
the strike situation on the city became
more menacing. however, due to con
ditions elsewhere.
Announcement was made at the Cham
her OF Comerce traffic bureau that the
Iiig -Four railroad had stopped accept
ing less than carload shipments for To-
ell points.
The Big -Four is now accepting only
carload shipments and those only for
local points.
The Illinois Central announced the
opening of all local points in Illinois
except East st. Louis, Chicago and
Peoria.
J. D. Forrest, general manager OF the
Citizens Gas Company, issued state
ment to the effect that there was ne
prospect of relief from the gas shortage
for several days.
Tieups N the Chesapeake & Ohio
yards st Portsmouth, o., and the Nor
folk & Western yards at Russell, KY,
have efectually shut of. all shipments
of coal expected by the gas company.
COAL EMBARGOED
FROM KENTUCKY.
An embargo by the L. & n. railroad
Of the Ohio river precludes the hope OF
getting shipments through Louisille.
That change in the situation win not
seriously affect other public utilities here,
as they can get coal. sufficient for their
needs through diverted shipments from
Indiana fields intended for Chicago and
other closed points.
The Monon. L. E. & W. and c., l. q
W. situations remained unchanged today.
Danger of a further loss of men on
the Indianapolis Union railway and Belt
line was narrowly averted today, when
telephone operators and switch tenders,
remaining on duty, threatened to quit.
Employees of the Big Four power plant
Mt Beech Grove, which supplies power
for the Big Four shops, returned to
work this morning after q brief strike
begun yesterday afternoon
Only fifteen men were involved in that
difficulty but a strike would have delayed
operations in the shops.
ENGINE CREWS
ADDED TO FORCE.
Two engine crews were added TO che
working force IN the Pennsylvania yards
today, but no change was made in the
general embargo against acceptance OF
all kinds Of freight.
Both the Pennsylvania and the Belt
line expect to begin employment of new
men to take the places of strikers within
a short time.
The Big Four announced today that
forty eight men had been added to the
yard force and that thirty-one engines
were operating In the yards today.
Normally the Big Four uses forty-one
engine crews, but with blockades in other
cities retarding freight movement the
thirty one crews are about all that are
needed.
