One factory purchasing agent told a Her- ald reporter this afternoon that the | shortage of coal was proving a ser- ious matter and many of the local concerns are getting along on a hand | to mouth supply. Raw material of |all kinds is hard to get and prac- tically all of the factories have men on the roads chasing up shipments and struggling with might and main | to get needed goods. This does noc mean that no freight is arriving, but only such as is detached from the | glutted accumulations at connecting i points. At Maybrook, Campbell Hall and Harlem river thousands of cars are on sidings and it is a herculean : task once they get in that condition to dig a car of goods out and get it | started to its destination. Coal ar- | riving here comes in roundabout ways { and much time is lost. Freight Agent Cosgriff thinks in view of present conditions which are the worst in the history of railroad- | ing, New Britain is well off. Enough | treight is coming through to keep the | factories going and shipments here are being promptly unloaded he says. At present four switching crews are employed in the local yards, two be- ing on at night. How long the New York embargo will continue is pure- ly a matter of speculation, but it is the only measure the railroad can take to relieve the conditions. At the freight house conditions have improved materially since the big storm and small consignments are being received and dispatched much as usual. An embargo on outbound freight exists to certain New Jersey, Pennsylvania and western points and east of the Connecticut river an em- bargo has been placed at Willimantic and New London, no freight being ac- cepted for points west of these places with the exception of Hartford.
