RED GROSS IS TO
 EXTEND BIG SUM Nine Million Dollars Needed for F Soldier Relief Work

New Haven, Nov. 3.-President E J. Pierson of the New York, New Ha. ven and Hartford railroad has issued a statement ill which he explained conditions on the road and makes the hopeful prediction that conditions will be normal at an early date. The statement is directed to the attention of Shippers and Others Concerned. !. It follows:
 With embargoes of varying char acter on every connecting system and their recent application to two routes causing unusual diversions tc our gateways the gradually accumu, lating effect on normal movement and New Haven finds it necessary to place a partial embargo in order to regu- late traffic and maintain maximum capacity in the interest of it's patrons and to insure contioued compliance with the service orders of the Inter- state Commerce Commission.
 The New Haven wishes to place the facts in the present situation before it's shippers to express appreciation of cooperation which has been so splendidly afforded, and to ask the continuation necessary under the cir cumstances, to secure the best com binatien of results for all.
 Volume of Freight Increases.
 The present transportation capacity of the system is indicated by the re- cent increase in daily averages of leads at destination, between 10,5o0 and 11,000 and which approximate the similar average during the record Of heavy movement of traffic during the heavier months of 1919. Further there are approximately l5,0oo to 1s,600 carloads on the road moving to destination and which will be giv- en delivery as rapidly as practicable without congestion. Back of this there is still further volume of freight, indicating a continuation of the recent increase of cars on the road The situation is therefore reached, in which additional cars will occasion congestion and commence to diminish transportation capacity.

Federal Government Begins Con-

Florence, Ala, Nov 1.-The roar of construction work on the great Will Mn dam at Muscle Shoals is again sounding through the valleys and over tl:c Hills along the Tennessee river. The federal government has steppod in 3to rescue from possible decaJ the tpcttut ular war-tllne nitrate and pow CT projects, whi 3i sr1ang up almost overbish invoi.'e., in the building of what ,,.ll be the worlds largest wltes- power Jam.

necessary regulation of traffic by this partial embargo will operate grad ually toward a reduction of cars en route, safeguarding congestion, and reducing delay to equipment which will increase the availability of cars for all general use. The demand for cars in grain territory, at Buffalo, at the steel mills, and generally every where, compels the best attenion and every possible step, to avoid conges- tionand delay iron, whatever cause. t. Expect NorMalcy Soon.
 It is the purpose of the road, in safeguarding against congestion and the delay to cars by loading more rapidly than can be promptly hand led, to protect to the utmost its full transportation capacity and the re- duirements of its patrons course which Is beinig pursued with full confidence, believing that recourse to outside or unusual provisions for transportation will be rendered un- necessary that the more normal sit uation will be brought about early, and that the traffic and revenues as we'll. can be retained to the New Ha- ven Road.
 Availing of the advantage arising from recent improvements In credit, the road has commenced the con- struction of an additional 30 foot by 1900 foot transfer platform at Cedar Hill, is providing additional tracks at certain necessary points,, is construct ing several coal docks and making some increase in engine terminal shops with view of increasing me- chanica department capacity, and has contracted for 12 large passenger electrics which in turn will release 9 larger number of steam locomo- tives for other service.
 The shop forces now substantially fully recruited, are carrying not only the current requirements but are aid ing in the overcoming of work that necessarily commenced to accrue after the complete desertion of the

for explosives for the army in Franc, by means of the water power of tn, Tennessee, which had called into being the plans for the dam. For | time it seemed as if the great dan were asleep.
 But now an awakening has come il these early days of October, and al the hands of the same men, the arm, engineers. Their picture now is one of peace, with about 1900 men ac tually at work on the dam today soon 1000 to be swarming over tht i works, and the call going out for . small group of able assistant civilian engineers.
 Busy Scene Now
 The music of the noisy rock. crushers, the toot-toot of the locdmo :, tives hauling sand and gravel and the pleasant control bells of the boatt towing barges in the river, are mak. ing a harmony of peace-time effici- ency, under which the army dam builders expect to carry out their pro. gram of finished job not later than the spring of 1926 with hardly ever more men at work at one time when time were required to do under wartime conditions.
 Many People Conc.
 Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Florence had large populations for cities like these, during the war. Sheffield alone had 10000 residents while the nitrate plants were being built. Men slept il tents in the city streets and were glad of any sort of chance to rest. To- day, Sheffield is presumed to have g population of about 5000. During the war, Florence housed 25,000 peo- pie. Today this city houses about 15,000 Tuscumbia has been reduced accordingly in size. In war days the government had a payroll of 55,000 men housed in and around these cities. But here, today, there is no great influx of people because of the building of the dam, nor will there be on account of that construction work.
 $4,0OO Per Day.
 The men at work today are being paid at the base rate of s2.5o per day, but, as this is a government payroll, and Congress has granted bonus to government workers, they actually receive about s3,2o per man per day average. This means an expenditure of about S4.oo0 per day for labor. But e ment, lumber, coal reinforcing steel and other materoals are being purchased. eating into the appropri- ations.
 All the big machinery for the elec- trical power installations was bought long ago. This big machinery. tech nically described as four units, each consisting of 30.000 horsepower tur- pines. capable of generating all to- gether 120,000 horsepower. is on the ground. ready to be installed. So far as construction machinery is concern ed. there is equipment of that char acter on the dam works which has been inventoried at $5,0o0,000, and therefore nothing in that line with the one exception of tow-boat has been needed. and that has just been bought. ~ q

 To Handle Holiday Crowds.

In anticipation of the football and Thanksgiving travel, and the heavier demand on power incidental to win- ter weather. the road has distributed many of it's engines to large num- Der of outside shops for repairs, in order that the service to the public may be assistedain the. still more rapid overcoming or delayed main tenance.
 Tn addition, in the organization of the new shop forces, two shifts of crews on the heavier repair work on engines at the more important en- zine terminals, will be used here after, thus shortening time of engines cut of service and increasing avail ability. With the effective completion of these various matters. present ca pacity under existing conditions which approvimates that during past per- iods of heavy traffic, will materially exceed that of any period heretofore.
 One of the more serious causes tor unsatisfactory service recently, has been due to an occasional cargo Of in ferior foreign coal. on which 1t was necessary to rely following the reduc- ton in supply from our own mines and later from Nova Scotia. At the present time, however, the increasing supply of higher grades of fuel under our regular contracts Is encouraging.
 It is the purpose of the manage ment in outlining this situation and in requesting aid and cooperation, to not only exert every endeavor to the interests of It's patrons in the pres- ent situation, but to continue its pol icy of such additional improvements as are possible so that capacity and service will constantly tend in the di- rection of betterment.

to turn the switches that send out the electrical current.
 The army engineer dam builders do not vex themselves with the question of what is to become of the electrical energy to be harnessed from the wat CTS of the Tennessee, sometimes swol- len, angry and turbid. To the army engineer dam builder it makes no diff ference whether nitrates are made here; whether fertilizer is made here; whether the Tennessee river is to move the street cars in distant New Orleans; whether is drains the swamps of Florida with cheap power He does not concern himself with the question of whether woman with an up-to-date electric hair curling iron in Mobile is to benefit, nor whether the, farmer in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama is to light his premises, pump his water, or drive his ma- chinery with the electrical energy Which is to come from the harness ing of the waters now to be brought under the guiding hand of man. Questions such as whether Chat tanooga. Memphis, Pensacola or other communities are to use the electrical energy from the Tennessee finally for cheap power for manufacturing pur- poses are questions which give the army engineer dam builder no con- cern whatever.
 Awakening Has Come
 All these army dam builders have know or cared is that they have been halted in their work since April Is, 1921, by lack of money, when the dam was one-third complet- ed. at which time the air began to be filled with the roar, not of dam build ing, but of who should finally US the dam.
 The armistice had come. Appro- priations had dribbled for while then completely stopped. Armed sell tries faded from the picture of the great work. The dam builders vert obliged to turn their backs on their wartime picture of offurnishing nitrate
