NEW YORK, October 22.—The auto- ;mobile business is approaching the rallroad crossing well under control. Business men do not expect to find that crossing blocked by a long-con- tinued strike, but they are taking no chances of running into an lramov- able obstacle. Meanwhile, the brakes have been appliea—iighuy it 18 true— and that retarding pressure will be maintained on the wheels of indus- trial progress until a settlement of the railroad controversy is arrived at. Business dispatches reccived wi.hin ¢he last tweniy-four hours have h&uu‘hl confirmatory evidence to that cet. OPEN SUNDAY 3731 Jenifer St. Chevy Chase, D. C.

Although business in general has siowed aown, sunie buying has been stimulatcd by preparacions against puss.ble shortage of commodities.
