WORST T|E.UP OF
FLA. VEGETABLES IN
HISTORY THREATENED

The Jacksonville Times Union OF
yesterday says:
"One of the worst perishable freight
tie-ups known in the history of Flori.
da is now taking effect, reports yes.
terday disclosed. Freight yards in
with perishable freights, and many
hundreds of cars of all other kinds,
as a result of the disruption of the
nations transportation system on ac-
count OF the OUTLAW strike going on.
Many Car Held Up
The present situation is reaching
TO other points on the lines of the
various carriers entering Jacksonville
and many cars of freight are held up
unable to proceed to destination. I'm.
less immediate movement or dispo-
sition in Southern territory is given
losses totaling millions is bound to
occur, it was stated The Atlantic
Coast line railroad alone has hundreds
or thousands of dollars worth of
such freight. 1t is believed other
lines are in similar condition.
Yesterday hundreds of kilograms
from Florida shippers poured into
washington to te Florida delegation
incongress, asking relief. These mes.
sages told of fruits and vegetables rot
ting on the rails, which was confirmed
by the rail lines.
Appeal to Shippers
The Atlantic Coast Line gave out
the following urgent appeal to ship.
pers:
ON account of embargoes issued by
Northern and Western lines resulting
from strikes, the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad has extended urgent notice
to shippers asking for disposition of
several hundred cars of fruits and
vegetables now held at various points
on that line. Shipments can be de.
livered at all points on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad and at points
south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
and east of the Mississippi river but
the principal markets of the country
are tightly closed. If shippers are
unable to dispose of the shipments in
transit in the Southern markets and
the few Northern markets that are
open, much loss will result"
Passenger Service
1T the passenger service, there was
also considerable confusion. The
consolidated ticket office refused to
sell through tickets over the Seaboard
and Atlantic Coast Line to New York
with assurance Of getting to destina-
ton. Richmond was as far as assur-
ance of travel was made. North of
that point trains were still being op-
Grated, but not as through trains, In
fact, 1t was said that Pullman cars
mad been taken off, and only day
coach service was offered. This could
not b everified.
Washington to New York service
was said to be of the uncertain class,
and OF the day coach variety. While
1t was believed that passengers could
get through trips might be DELAYED
and were no continuous.
While the effect of the strike at
other points has affected this CITY
and state, there have been no walk
outs here to date.

bushels of onions have been harvest

estimated that greater quantity is

one-half acres. The freight carrier
bernice, which came in yesterday,
brought in a, large cargo of onions,
part Of them from the Edwards &
Ringgold farm and 800 bushels from
other growers. The Bernice also
brought 125 packages of cabbage, 100
sacks OF onions, and 100 hampers OF
beans and elephants. The Bernice will
sail Monday, and return Tuesday,

More amazed and perplexed than

"Did you go then to meet the man

mot until after got a third note,

two servants now, Sarah and Mary.
and they both have been with us since
we were children. 1t could not have

much Of us as our own mother does"

France to try to blackmail herT|
eve thought Of that. The notes die
not come from him. They do not read

"Who could 1t bei" l said more tC
myself than to her.
"Then there was another note" shC
went on. 1T demanded that Clair,
wear a red carnation and meet tn,
writer in the park and bring ten thou

first met you. Your presence mus
