NEW YORK. September s.-Truth
or falsity of conflicting claims made
by labor leaders and railway -execu-
tives as to the condition of rolling
stock throughout the country will be
definitely tested within the next
week. The result Of those tests Will
have q strong bearing on both the

tween the strikers and individual

The ability to load and move freight

The gravity of the situation is fully

This Is plainly exampli6ed today by

to be delivered Immediately and has
