Empty Supply is Cut Off

With switchmen on striks at Park
ersburg, Connellsville. Keyser yards
and Cumberland the aFirmont coal
regions are practically all tied up to-
day. No empties are moving into the
RECON and the coal movement east
OF Grafton has dropped to practically
nothing. Last night the switchmen
at the west end of the Cumberland
division are reported to have quit
and this has not helped matters any.
Mines are automatically closing

loads. There were 225 loads of coal

and quite a large number of loads.
had accumulated at the Grafton yards.
Operations are completely tied up on
the M. r. branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. There are prob
ably 150 loads tied up along that line.
The B. & o. railroads here has noti
reduced the yardmen's crews as yet.
but there apparently is nothing tbr.
them to do as the whole situation has
reached point of stagnation.
East of Grafton yesterday the b.
