Three Coal Carrying Roads Today Declare Embargoes On All Freight Except Food. stuff, Livestock And Fuel.

Washington, July 2s, (By Associay- ed Press).- coal carrying rail- roads the Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville, have declared embar- goes over their lines against the &C., ceptance of any freight except food stuffs, livestock and fuel. The actions were taken under the interstate com merce commission declaration of an emergency which authorized roads embarrassed by the shopmen's strike to show preference and establish priority in transportation.
 The object of the embargoes is to conserve all the equipment and facili- ties of the three carriers for trans portation of coal.
 Serve Coal Districts.
 The roads serve the non-union soft coal mining areas south of the Ohio river which have furnished most of the country's coal output since April l when the miners struck in all the unionized fields and officials have de- clared that the tieup on their lines indicated railroad unions were work ing with the miners to stop produc- ton of soft coal. All three had been carrying record breaking quantities of coal until the shopmen went out, aft CT which their tonnage was imme- diately cut in half.
 Source for Middle West.
 The Louisville and Nashville lines serve Kentucky coal fields which have been the principal source of coal supply since the strike for Chicago and other middle west points. The obstructions to the movement of coal over this system placed by the rail strike were considered largely respon- sible for runaway coal market i'm mediately created in that territory.
 It was believed that the first re- suit of the embargoes would be to increase coal shipments for the non- union territory.
 Notifications Later.
 Arrangements of the roads notified the interstate commerce commission that they would modify the embargo orders as rapidly as conditions per mitted and gradually accept other classes of freight for movement. as they were able to transport 1t with out interfering with the coal flow.
 In railroad circles here today it was asserted that the last three days had seen a heavy resumption of work In railroad shops notwithstanding the strike of shop craftsmen.
