Many Manchester people have be- 
come worried over the possibilities of 
the threatened strike of the four great 
railway .en’s brotherhoods, — which 
would tie up nearly every railroad in 
the United States. -On Thursday 
notices were posted in the Manchester 
station of the B. & M. warning pros- 
pective passengers of the uncertainty 
of travel after 7 o’clock next Mon- 
day morning, when the walk-out is 
expecte | to occur, unless Congress in- 
tervenes or the railroads grant the de- 
mands of the brotherhoods. After 5 
o’clock last evening no freight, ex- 
cept food stuffs, could be received 
for shipnent at the local freight office, 
a part of the general embargo order 
by the 8. & M. The roads, the broth- 
erhood: and the government have par- 
tially guaranteed that trains carrying 
food wll be moved in event the strike 
is not verted, so that it is not ex- 
pected that there will be any great 
scarcity of food. Some of the large 
cities ere expected to suffer from a 
milk shortaze, although it has been 
promised that milk trains will be 
moved. The danger of a coal famine 
is without foundation, as points along 
the coast can be supplied by boats. 
There is no danger of the cutting off 
of electricity on this account, as there 
is an ample supply of coal on hand 
to meet anything but a strike of six 
months’ duration, and it is not ex- 
pected that the threatened strike will 
last. more than a week in event of 
its taking place. It is expected that 
the price of some foodstuffs will in- 
crease on account of hoarding due to 
fear of a strike. The’ market price 
of potatoes jumped 50 cents a bag 
yesterday and they now retail at 55 
cents a peck, with further increases 
looked for. Many Manchester people 
began. yesterday to lay in a supply of 
smoked meats, canned goods, etc., in 
anticipation of a tieup. -One family 
put in an order for $250 worth of 
goods at Bullock’s grocery Wednes-
