Government Experts Tell of
The Dire Result From a
' Nationwide Strike.
NEW YORK WOULD
BE AMONG FIRST
Thickly Populated Spots
Would Nee1 Food Within
Two Weeks Other
Means Transportation.
(By United Press.)
Washington, March 17. Practically
every thickly populated section of the
East would feel the pinch of want
for food within two weeks after a rail
road strike, the Bureau of Markets of
the Agriculture Department told the
United Press tonight.
An expert in the bureau who is prob
ably one of the best advised men in
the country on the food supply, esti
mated that New York would be cry
ing for food in less than ten days
after a tie-up of the railroads.
Recent data collected by the depart-
ment on the food storage in and about
New York .indicated that the storage ,
suppiy is ar uuw xxuxmai

awaiting shipping to European coun
tries.
Especially is this true regarding
grain at New York elevators, where
thousands of bushels of wheat, pur
chased by agents of the Allies, is be
ing held until bottoms are available
to carry it to Europe. Other large
Eastern cities, according to the
reau of agriculture, would feel the
pinch almost as soon as the metro
polis. Philadelphia and Boston storage
plants contain about 75 per cent ;f
their normal capacity. This condi-.
tion is due largely to the recent rail-1 trains. From Bellevue West, and as

wise trade will be also stimulated to
meet the needs of seaport towns.
The country's vast number of auto .
trucks might also do. valuable service
in the transportation of food, accord
ing to bureau officials, but . it is not
believed that this mode of conveyance
would be able -provide sufficient
food for the thickly populated centers.
The principal storage centers for
grain at the present time are Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia. The
greatest supply is in storage, in west
ern cities. In case of a tie-up of the
railroads by a strike it would be a
difficult problem to devise a way by
which this grain might be moved
East.

(By United Press.)
Cleveland, Ohio, March 17. Not a
pound of freight will be handled on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad out
of Cleveland tonight, and freight may
not move tomorrow or Monday. The
stoppage of freight exists all along the
Baltimore and Ohio, according to H.
B. Green, general superintendent, who
declared the road "was already for
the strike had prepared for one," and
wont change its plans.
Vice President Carey, of the Order
of Railway Conductors, disputed i
the reagon the Baliimore and Ghio
reights are not operating are because
the men have not yet received the
postponement order. He also said ap
proximately 200 Big Four men had not
been reached until after 9 o'clock, but
then were on their way to work.
Reports from points East and West
on the Nickel Plate indicated that
road was in much the same condition
as the Baltimore and Ohio. From
Conneaut East came word that crews
bu-jad struck because no postponement
0f the strike had been received of-
ficially. A local chairman of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen
there declared he had received ex
plicit instructions to disregard press
reports. Crews refused to take out

service undoubtedly caused freight
employes on the Baltimore & Ohio
and the Nickel Plate railroads in Ohio,
to go on strike as scheduled at 6
o'clock tonight, W. S. Stone, president
of the Brotherhood of Engineers, told
the United Press tonight.
"It was 4 o'clock before we got a
wire," he said.
"These men simply haven't yet re
ceived the orders wired to them,
They will go back to work as soon
as those messages are received. The
service was naturally slow because
of the weather and that is the cause
of this situation."
Walked Out On Time
Washington, March 17. Members i
of the Big Four brotherhoods, employ
ed on the Baltimore and Ohio freight
line, between here and New York,
walked out on strike shortly after 7
o'clock tonight on failing to receive
official notice of the forty-eight hour
postponement, according to one of the
trainmen here.
The strikers, the United Press in
formant stated, being under orders to
strike at 7 o'clock (6 o'clock, Central
time) waited 20 minutes at terminals
on receiving press reports the strike
had been postponed.
They had been specifically warned,
he said, against acting on the press
reports of a postponement or rescind
of the strike order
