CENTRAL RAILROAD STRIKE
TIES UP THIS CITY

Continued from page y
at the depot this morning hat al
though the Pennsylvania railroad was
placing cars on the tracks there, the
number of cars had been greatly over
estimated.
No Freight Being Received.
No freight is being received at the
freight station here. A general en-
barge on all freight has been declar-
ed, as no freight trains are in opera
tion. The switch engines which
switch the freight cars about the To-
cal freight yards and various plants
are not working today and his fact
means a serious tie up of local indus
try if conditions are not improved be-
fore many hours.
Many of the larger plants in this
city n vicinity have been seriously
hit by the strike and unless it breaks
before long, and regular freight SER
vice is established on the various rail-
roads some of the plants will have
to close down because of a shortage
in raw material. Principal among
these are the Raritan Copper Works,
Standard Underground Gable Comply
and the United Lead Works.
The lack of raw material used by
these plants in the manufacture of
their products means that one Dr.
more departments in the plants would
have to close down or u on part
time and this in turn would affect
other departments. The Standard
Underground Gable Company is the
most seriously affected by the strike
and unless some relief comes within
the next three days the plant will be
forced to close down, as it only has
enough raw material on hand to last
that length of time.
The Raritan Copper Works and the
United Lead Works can continue op-
Grafton for n week, but after that
time will have to close down unless
the strike is broken and they a OBJ
tain shipments of raw material which
are now on the road.
Other plants in this city and vicin-
.ity are facing a like situation. al
though they have a supply of raw
materials on hand to last them for
some time. With the closing of the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany. the Raritan Copper Works and
the United Lead Works, thousands of
employees will be thrown out of work.

STRIKE SERIOUS
IN SOUTH AMbOY
Trains Operated by Clerical
Forces; Men in Yards, How
ever Have Not Quit Work
81 Special ror-essomdenl


SOUTH AMBOY. April 12:-The
strike situation in this city is beeom-
ing serious. Yesterday there were
but two Pennsylvania trains during
the entire day. These trains were
not operated by their regular train
crews blu volunteers from the cleri-
cal forces. The Central Railroad of
New Jersey maintained their regular
schedule, however, every train leav-
ing this city very nearly on time.
AS yet the strike has not spread to
the workmen in the local yards. 1t
was said yesterday that although the
shipments being made by the East
ern Coal Dock Company were well
below normal they were probably
shipping more coal thar any other
port on the atlantic coast. This is
due to the fact that the private own
ers are placing boats to be loaded.
Yesterday afternoon some of the
railroad societies held meetings but
the outcome could not be learned.
Whether the men in this city will
Join the strike or not is doubtful.
Everything west of South Amboy is
fled up. The city is being surround
ed with freight cars that cannot be
moved into New York City. Commit
ers are at a loss of knowing what. to
do. This is the most serious condi-
ton that has ever existed in South
Amboy.

New Orleans, May 2l.--Very heavy sell- ing, apparently rehecting the peesimistic feeling entertained toward all markets, was felt by cotton today. and prices broke more than 100 points on the more active months. Pressure was noticeable on the opening and gradually increased until late In the day, when early short sellers went to taking profits and caused partial recoveries from the lowest levels.
 At the bottom the market stood loS to IA points under the last prices of yes terday. The close was at net losses of 6g to 80 points. Better weather over the belt. prospects that fairly good weather conditions would continue another day or two, poor cables and reports of another big break in the market for Egyptian cotton were additional incentives for sell ing Sellers ignored the warning from bullish traders that the market was fac- ing a bullish May condition report.

SALES OVERWHELMED
 I'll E GRAIN MARKET AND BROKE PRIC ES
Both Oats and Corn Made Big Dips, With Provisions Training
 Close Behind
By Associated Press


 Chicago, May 21.-wild selling over whelmed the grain markets today and broke the back of prices. Fever to unload holdings appeared to be largely due to widespread belief that the end of the railroad traffic jam was in sight and that distributing centers might soon be staggering under in- ordinate supplies. The close was ex- cited, corn 91Ac to 1874 c net lower with Jply $1.5S to $1.59 and September s1.49h to $l51. Oats finished 21zc to 6Ac96%c down and provisions off SIC to $1.75.
 It was evident right from the outset that emergency measures which the in terstate commerce commission had taken to swing the railroads back lnto more adequate service were accepted by the grain trade undoubtedly as meaning relief from the long night made of famine at the elevators here despite immense reserves in the coun- try. Besides the prospects of tm- mense unified railroad operation there was further reason for unusual sell ing pressure because of continued prominence given to news of general merchandise price cutting and Of the squeeze in banking credits The con sequent rish to sell corn instead or lessening as prices fell kept gaining rapidly in force. During the last part of the session the stampede became headlong. The close was at the low est figures reached with the pit pie ture of nearly complete demoraliza- ton.
 Oats tumbled with corn. Arrivals of a cargo of Canadian oats here formed an independent source of weakness Provisions were dragged down by smash of the grain markets. The bigt gest break was in pork.
