British See that Freight Crosses the Pond on Time| NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Rallroad officlals here say that war munitions ahd other frelght consigned for export to foreign governments are not subject to the em- bargo on iron and steel articles imposed by the Lehigh Valley rallroad and on all export freight by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The products of ammunition | factories, the officlals say, will go through New York as usual because it is not the war munitions that are causing the freight congestion here and at other Atlantic ports, It f» explained that when a quantity of freight consigned to Great Britain or any | European government is brought here for export if no vessel happens to be avall-| able, the foreign government requisitions some vessel flying its flag to carry the freight across the ocean. The rallroad men say it (s the freight consigned to ptivate brokers who must use private means of transatlantic transportation that bas caused the congestion. \ A committee of shippers belonging to the Merchants' assoclation will confer today with members of the trunk line assoclation in an effort to prevent the reduction by the rallroads of free storage time from thirty to fifteen days. | There is little danger of a scarcity of | flour in New York City because of the ! embargo, according to railroad officlals.
