Show EMBARGO ORDERED BY UNION PACIFIC Special to The Tribune. OMAHA. Dec. 18. The Union Pacific railroad will accept no freight to or from any competitive point on the line from December 26 to January 7. This order was issued from headquarters here today and is the most sweeping embargo ever issued by that road. The embargo applies ap-plies to individual shipments as well as shipments from connecting lines. During the two weeks of the embargo the road will attempt to clear its tracks and terminals or" all congestion. Freight for non-competitive points will be handled han-dled as usual, on the ground that as there is only one railroad- the non-competitive points must have Union Pacific service. |
