RAILROADS APPEAL TO
 FACTORIES FOR HELP
Industry Faces Shutdown Unless Cars Can Be Dug
 Out of Snow Drifts.

Boston, Feb. 2S.--Industrial es- tablishments were asked to divert the energies of their employees today to digging out railroad yards and junction points in New England where thousands of cars have been stalled by recent snow storms. EX- ports ton transportation who con- ferred here said the situation was the worst in history. Many plants have had to shut down because of fuel shortag ges and others will be fcrced to close early next week un- less traffic is improved. The ques- ton of food supplies is also serious iii some sections.
 Freight houses on the Boston and Maine railroad were closed here to- day and the employees were sent out to help the track-clearing crews. It was announced that only perishable materials, foodstuffs and fuel would be handled by the road. President John k. Macomber of the Boston Chamber of Commerce after con- ference with railroad officials sent out a call for the Industries nearest the congested lines of the railroads to furnish 3.o50 men to supplement the railroad workers.
 President Macon Der said that New England faced conditions which un- less quickly remedied threatened to s;tifle its industrial life. The rail- roads, he said. could clear the main line tracks if assistance could be obtained in the freight yards and at the Junction points.
 Notwithstanding the clear weather since Wednesday when five inches of snow fell in northern New England. the railroads have had difiEultiaa which increased hourly. No attempt has been made to maintain schedules on the Boston & Maine where drift. ing snow fas blocked lines again after they were cleared. Many trains were cancelled yesterday and many branch lines in the rural districts were suspended.
 The New Haven road, while main taining a nearly regular passenger schedule has been handicapped by the lack of freight cars. Officials of the road said that thousands of cars. filled and empty, were stalled on the sidings and at the functions and that they had been able only to keep the main lines clear.

Boston. Feb. 2S.---Gorernor Cool idge telegraphe,i President Wilson to- day that the fuel shortage in New England is more critical and that the district will be in a serious condition if federal control over coal exports IS permitted to lapse.
 The message said
 Fuel shortage in Massachusetts and New England is more critical than was stated in the telegram of tho New England governors of February Is due to the inability Of the rail roads to operate through the snow. Many ships are waiting to take coal at tidewater to bring to New England.
