Diicctor General of Railroads Me-1 Adoo today acceded to Fuel Admin-1 istrator Garfield's request for an embargo on freight to relievo the coal shortage. He issued an order barring all freight except fuel, food niul war supplies from the Pennsyl vania Railroad east of Pittsburgh, the Baltimore and Ohio east of the Ohio River and all of the lines of tht Philadelphia and Reading. A statement issued by the di lector general said that the primary purpose of the order was to correct conditions in New England and New Yoik harbor caused by the cold weather, which has interf erred with tram movement across the Alle gheny Mountains. "This embargo is a tempoiaiy one," Mr. McAdoo said. "It should labt but a few days if the weather model ates." MIIPUI 1LDINC.

Administrate! I Garfield believes. r.nii,iie,i ttA w rnther lodav brought with It rcpoits of critical suffering In many communities and a situation at some points worse than that which ex isted before tho Garfield order went Into effect flvo days ago.

It Is pointed out that Washing ton's Birthday fulls on l'rlday, l'ebiu ary 22. with Saturday n half holldas . and Sundas and Monday worklosH dajs anshow Urgent renuests tn Industrs and business to closo entirely on these four days would win to glvo another Ineathlng spell at what is usually the bad wevther zenith in tho East. Also Lincoln's Birthday falls on Tuesday. February 12. and a four-day suspension might be brought about then with less nnnosance than tho recent one. It Is suggested Both ot thtse dates nro being considered as timely for launching another general coal restriction older. Tho railroad administration Is wait ing for an expression from the country. If the demand Is Insistent though. Di rector General McAdoo mas take drabtlo steps Immediately to pull tho railroad ssstem out fiom under tho mass of freight piled nt every point Addition of 200 locomotives from Baldwin shops within thirty dass will help tho situation, the lalroad admin istration declnrcd. Theso locomotives were built for European service, but cannot bo shipped now because ot lack of. tonnage and will bo drafted Into domestic, service until they can be sent abroad. It a complete freight embargo Is not ordered, partial embargoes nnd general JIveision of freight to enable coul to be rushed through to necessary points will be put Into effect. Passenger serv ice may be taken from bomo lines en tirely and the trackage and rolling stock devoted to freight needs. Such action would acomnllsli much on roads situated as the Pennsylvania, which feeds large Industrial centers.

The same dispatch added that the Bolshevik Government at IVtrograd is gaining power and that Bolshevik influence has led to a strong revo lutionary movement in Itumania. IlCKNi:, Jan. 23. Women led many of the famished mobs in Austro-Hungariau in dustrial communities where rioting has occurred in connection with the general strike, according to information from the frontier todav. The Austrian socialists are becoming more active, and there are indications that they are in direct communication with the Russian llol sheviki. Travelers arriving from the frontier todaj said that there is no doubt that the successful Holshevlk counter-revolution in Russia has exerted widespread influence upon the Austrian working classes. "Bread and peace" is now the national demand of the Austro Hungarians. An unconfirmed report was received todaj that soldiers fired upon a band of rioters in Vienna, who were inarching through the streets with red flags and banners inscribed with such phrases as "Give Vs Peace" and "Long Live Trotsky." One- mob that tried to approach Emperor Charles's palace in Vienna was driven off, and later the military guard around the trrounds was strengthened. The Austrian Government declares the situation is righting itself and that the workmen, satisfied with the- promised reform and higher wages, are returning to their places. ' Pressure is being brought to bear upon Hungary to release some of her store or cereals to relieve the food situation in Austria. Hungarj is reported to have a surplus or grain, but has hoarded it, flatly refusing to release anj part of it for Germany or Austria. A copy of the socialist newspaperVorwaerts, of Merlin, was received here today containing a long article upon the Austrian situation. The Vorwacrts calls it a "grave economic crisis containing far-reaching possibilities."
