Although the prospects of averting the threatened nation-wide railroad strike was con aid ered encouraging tonight, city offi cials and reprfflfentatives - of New York's industries continued their ef forts to provide against suffering in a possible emergency. Commissioner of Pol'ee Woods 'prepared an appeal to the railroads and employes, urging them in the event of a strike to per mit food supplies also reiterated tJb'at he would act vigorously against deal ers who raised food prices. Upwards of 9,000 arloads of food are b'ronght here weekly, much of it perishable. The department of health estimates that more than lyl40 ear loads of fresU milk alone are requir ed weekly. Estimates of the city s needs of flour run from 100,000 to 175,000 barrels a week. Fear was expressed tonight that embargoes already declared by the railroads mi?ht seriously affect the situation even should the strike be called off. The placing today of what was said to amount virtually to a blanket embargo on all freight by the Long Island railroad wh'.ch serves the market gardening section of Long Island, further complicated matters. 8AY REVOLUTION HAS .
