Voluntary Action by Railroads to Continue for Several Days Until Milder Weather Comes.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. An unofficial emlaro on all freight except food, fuel ami munitions practically was in effect tonight ea?t of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers as a result of Director General McAtloo's authorized embargo today on three eastern trunk lines. AHlu-igh the restriction was applied formally only to the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and!
Ohio, east of PittsburK", ard the Philadelphia and Iltadint;. other railroads accepted little freight today, particularly if it wa destined for eastward movement. This situation probably will continue for several days until milder weather permit.-? railroads to begin to move the sreat quantity of general freight accumulated during the past two weeks of winter storms. Factors contributing to the unofIkial eastern embargo were the priority of movement for coal and foodstuffs, and the continued preference in coal deliveries given to domestic consumers, ships and certain war industries which were exempted from the fuel administration's general closing order. The ban on coal consumption was officially lifted at midnight last night, but scores of manufacturing plants, unable to divert coal from the stream flowing to the more essential industries, remained closed or prepared to suspend operations in a day or two when their available coal stocks are gone. This fact and the knowledge of many shippers that ordinary freight had little chance of prompt delivery, tended to curtail the shipment offerings today. Plan Short Hauls. To reduce railroad mileage in hauling coal, some sort of a zone system of coal distribution probably will be put into operation by the railroad and fuel administrations within a week. Plans for such an arrangement were discussed today at a conference between Director General McAdoo and Fuel Administrator Garfield, both of whom announced later that they were working in entire unison in developing a plan of greatest efficiency for coal transportation. Although weather remained cold over most of the east today, the lack of new snowfall enabled the railroads to make a slight improvement in the traffic situation. The (low of coal eastward to the Atlantic seaboard and New England was somewhat greater, and the supply of empty cars to mining regions was larger. Nowhere was there any near approach to normal conditions, however, and railroad administration officials pointed out that the full effect of the low coal production and distribution would not be felt for several days. Car Shortage I Iiis Minos. The number of ships awaiting hunker coal at Atlantic ports was smaller today, but freezing of coal In the cars still hampered dumping, and ice in harbors interfered with lighterage. 'The supph of empty cars to the Pennsylvania anthracite regions was nearly normal, though the central Pennsylvania bituminous district Kot onlv about half its usual
number. Oar shortage compelled In-j
diana mines to work at 70 percent capacity. About r.(t mines in the Pocahontas field of West Virginia and Virginia suspended work. West Virginia got about two-thirds its normal car supply and the Pittsburgh district about half. Loading in the latter field was
(about tfa percent normal.
Coal supplies in Ohio and Indiana for domestic and commercial pur
poses were reported very low. but prospects were said to be bright for improvement within a day or two.
The movement to Michigan and Chicago was far better than in previous days and meat and lhestoek moved eastward In considerable quantities
today. The dumping of coal at the tidewater was particularly retarded today at Hampton Koads, whose
southern latitude heretofore rendered thawing apparatus unnecessary. Weather conditions at Norfolk were reported today as worse than for many years and a number of ships were held up for lack of coal. Temperatures ranged not far from the zero mark over much of the country tonight, hut warmer weather was in prospect later in the week, and when it comes, railroad officials look for much improvement in transportation.

We want that number of men and young men to come here and fit themselves out with an overcoat. Although all overcoats will cost considerable more money next year, we're going to offer these coats at a price if figuring today's market will make them cost you less than wholesale price. We determined not to carry over a sin ale
overcoat, the same policy we have adhered to in past years. Considering the advance in cost of these garments since we bought them, makes this one of the greatest price catting sales we have ever held. Sale Starts Friday Morning. Come early. We have extra salespeople to help take care of the crowds which are sure to respond to this announcement. We have divided these coats into two lots. Here are the prices:
Lot No. 1 Here are coats with belts all around, belt backs and the plain models. All this season's coats and most of them made by The House of Kuppenheimer which is a guarantee of perfection. These sold for $28.50, $27.50, $25.00. Your choice
Lot No,
Here are coats in all the new models and colors, coats for wear as well as style. The price we have put on them will be a memory next season, as there will be no coats to be bought at such a low price. These were $22.50, $20 and $18. Your choice
If you miss this sale don't blame us, vou will be the looser.
