from railroad yards.
Until last week the Baltimore &
. Ohio Railroad, which is serviced by
a trucking firm not affected by the
strike, accepted incoming shipments,
but was forced to join the other
railroads in applying the embargo
because of the great volume of busi-
ness shifted to it from the other
lines.
