OTHER OBJECTIONS
HAMPER TRAFFIC
There Are Indications of
Dissatisfaction in
Boston

Boston, April 49, Effects of the un-
authorized strike of railroad employees
were felt in all parts of New England
| to-day through further reductions and
| consultations in all classes of traffic.
The ranks of loyal workers remained
unbroken on lines running through this
| section.
The section detection in New Eng
land of switehmen to the cause of the
strikers occurred early to-day at Prov
idence but was as brief as the walkout
at Worcester on Sunday. A few em-
ployes of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad quit work but re-
turned after brotherhood official ad.
dressed them. AT meetings in other
cities the men voted to remain at
work.
Freight traffic suffered most severely
as result Of the general embargo in
effect at all New England gateways.
Railroad officials declared the situation
was becoming serious through inabil-
ity to bring in food, coal or raw ma.
terials, Freight service on the New
Haven road has been virtually suspend
ed. The Boston & Albany railroad has
cancelled 30 extra freights and the Bos-
ton & Maine has been unable to accept
many cars from its connections.
Complicating the difficulties here was
threatened strike OF freight handlers
at the Boston & Albany and Boston g.
Maine terminals over A demand for
wage increases. The matter has gone
TO The state arbitration board with an
from the men for immedi,
ate favorable action.
Dealers in perishsble foodstufrs have
commenced shipment to New York and
other points by motor trucks. Several
truekloads Of fish were sent from here
to-day in this manner. Boats also are
being utilized to capacity for passenger
and freight service.
Passenger service on all roads was
further curtailed to-day Local service
on the New Haven was almost as bad
~ crippled as the through service All
roads continued to reduce to a min.
imum their passenger service. Many
trains used ordinarily for passenger |
service were used exclusively to-day |
for mail and express.

ing been started yesterday afternoon
This is a contested case. The princi-
pals were formerly residents Of North

suit, was heard yesterday afternoon

handed" in the matter and he cautioned
Mr.. Crane to be ready to pay suit mon
ey if the court should decide to order
it. The matter of alimony was left to

tives to keep Mr.. Crane from giving
