MODIFY FREIGHT EMBARGOES ON THE WESTERN ROADS CHICAGO, March 17. Freight embargoes em-bargoes of central western railroads were modified today after it became known that a strike had been postponed forty-eight hours. The embargo orders were canceled as far as possible until Monday. The new order permits the acceptance ac-ceptance of perishable freight which can be delivered on each road's own lines before 6 p. m. Monday, March 19. There had been no embargo order against dead freight, which is accepted subject to delays. The new order will admit of the shipment ship-ment of perishable goods for a day or so longer, and efforts will be made to expedite such shipments on Sunday, as that day consumes half of the temporary tem-porary extension.
