Such carloads as were en route when the zero hour for the strike arrived, reached here yesterday morning. about 24 hours late, due to the brief period of confusion when a truce was announced late Saturday afternoon. Meat supplies, small in quantity, also reached here from the Middle West nearly 8. day late but, due to the week-end lull in business, had little effect on local markets, No dealers in food items with whom the possibility of the strike actually being called next Thursday was discussed, believed the controversy between railroad and management on the country's railroads would fail of srttlement before that date. They are making plans for emergency operation it the strike is called.
Meat and produce dealers said it would be impossible ship by truck from distant markets from which their supplics come, because there are few trucks sufficiently refrigerated to keep the food from spoilage 011 the long trek over the roads which would be involved.
