NEW ENGLAND TRAIN
SERVICE BADLY CRIPPLED
By Associated Press to Evcry Evening

By Associated Press TO Every Evening
Boston, April 12-Curtailment Of all
traffic, passenger and freight and express,
on through lines Of railroads in New
England was the result in this section to-
dav Of the outlaw strike Of railroad men.
Reports indicated that efforts OF the
strikers to obtain recruits ia New England
States had proved unavailing
The only break in the ranks OF the loyal
workers was short-hved. IL occurred at
Worcester when fewer than 100 switch
men walked out Sunday morning. They
returned TO their work within II hours
Members Of railroad workers locals here
and in other New England cities at meet
ings' last night voted TO remain at work.
The New York, New Haven * Hart
ford made the most drastic curtailment
in service due to conditions at New York.
In addition to a freight embargo EN-
bracing all but necessities, a reduction
was made in the number of passenger and
express trains Parlor and dining cars
have been dropped from all but two trains
on the Boston-New York run. Eight ex-
press trains have been cancelled.
The Boston & Albany railroad has dis
continued all parlor and baggage cars on
the Boston-New York day trains The
movement Of freight on this road within
New England has not been affected
seriously The Boston and Maine re-
ported all traffic as virtually normal.

ENGLAND MUST
STICK. COMMONS TOLD

By Associa ted Press to Every Evening
London. April u Both France and
Great Britain are increasingly convinced
OF the necessity Of keeping IN agreement
for the settlement OF the questions re-
garding Germany and those affecting
other parts of the world, Andrew Bonar
Law, the government leader, told the
House of Commons today.
Answering questions were good 10 the
Anglo-French situation. Mr.. Bonar Law
said:
"As the House is aware. q difference
which His Maiesty's government greatly
deplores has arisen between the British
and French governments. but the ex-
change of notes which has taken place
between London and Paris justi6es the
belief that both governments recognize
more than ever the necessity Of maintain
ing an intimate cordial agreement in the
settlement of the great questions now
confronting them in Germany and else
where.
THE approaching conference OF the
heads of the allied governments will no
doubt serve to conform and consolidate
the complete understanding between the
two governments. In these circumstances
| venture to suggest that it would be very
undesirable TO have any discussion on the
subject either in debate or by question
and answer 1t is hardly necessary to
add that there is no truth whatever in the
statement made ia certain sections of the
press that there has been difference Of
opinion in the British cabinet"

ALL FREIGHT AT READING
TIED UP BY STRIKERS

Reading, Pa, April II For the first
time in many years, traffic on the Reading
division of the Reading railway as we'll as
that of the Harrisburg division between
Allentown and Harrisburg. and Phil
adelphia and Nillamsportl and the
ScbnylkilI Valley division of the Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad are practically at stand
still this morning as far as freight traffic
is concerned, because of labor troubles
Passenger trains alone are running and
the entire Reading division, covering the
eastern section of the State is unable to
exchange freight with connecting lines
because Of strikes on other roads.
Not since the strike OF the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers IN 1877 has the
tie-up been so complete. 1t is expected
that the Reading railway will be able to
continue to keep its passenger trains
moving.
Eight of the night shifting crews of the
Reading Company in the local yard fail
ed to report for duty at midnight and as
a result traffic was almost completely tied
up in the yard after that hour.
