With port operations numbed by the strike, the American Association of Railroads clamped an embargo on the shipment of nearly all ex- port freight destined for Boston and the huge port of New York. The embargo was expected to ke expanded to include other Ameri- can .port cities as the strike, which began - spontaneously in several major ports four days ago, sp-ead.
