RAILWAY LABOR BOARD TO MARK TIME IN STRIKE (Continued from page one) with the maintenance of equipment, is fast crippling the country’s transportation systems, reports to the fed oral government today show. With many trains already annulled because of the coal shortage advices today showed that: Many passenger trains throughout tho country are unable to keep up their schedules, apparently because of the deterioration of equipment. Freight is being delayed from one to five days. Congestion Is prevalent in mining centers that are now producing coal and a shortage of coal cars exists at many mines. Many trucks are being pressed Into service for short hauls due to the delays. No definite report on the exact condition of railroad equipment today as compared with July 1, the date the strike began is obtainable, but government officials estimate the general condition is about 20 or 25 per cent below that of twenty-four days ago. The situation is growing more serious daily. Locomotives are the first to feel the lack of the constant care of the shopmen, and the result has been the delayed trains. The most serious aspect of the situation is the announcement of the Big Four Brotherhoods that when the condition of the locomotives and cars deteriorate to the point where they consider it dangerous to operate them, trains will not be moved. As an example of the critical situation daily growing more serious reports at the Union station here show that fully 75 per cent of the passenger trains arrived late during the last 24 hours. Many late trains are reported at the high rail centers of New York and Chicago.
