EMBARGO ON STONE.

W. B. Newman, of Hammond, was in Rensselaer today. Mr. Newman is the salesman for the Monon Stone company. He reports that they are unalble to make deliveries now on account of the fact that the railroads have placed xan embargo against the use of coal cars for any purpose except for coal and sugar bq,ets. This action was necessary on account of the threatening coal strike which may take place on November 1.
