WONT CHANGE THE
RETIREMENT AGE
General Superintendent George W.
Creighton Ends All Contro
versy ; Not Considered
Anxiety anion? local shopmen of
the Pennsylvania Railroad over the
prospects of changing the retirement
age ended to-day. Announcement was
made by George W. Creighton, general
superintendent of the eastern division,
that no changes were anticipated.
For a week or more past persistent
rumors have been circulated through
the local shops to the effect that the
company would, on January 1 next,
change the compulsory retirement age
from 70 to 65 years and the voluntary
retiring age from 65 to 60 years.
It was stated at Mr. Creighton's
office that this rumor has been repeat
edly revived ever since the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers eight
years ago acted favorably on changing
the retiring aire from 70 to 65, the
Order of Railway Conductors later
uniting with the engineers in a move
ment. of the same kind.
However, at the time, both these
efforts failed, as the company found
that the majority of their employes
desired the retirement age to remain
at 70 years, and nothing was ever
done, though the officials of the com-

advantages in the proposed change.
Where the new rumor that the
change was to be made January 1
originated is not known, but Air.
Creighton's office Issued a statement
1 that there is absolutely nothing in
the report and that, as far as the com
pany is concerned, the retiring age will
remain fixed at 70 until there is a gen

employes to reduce it to 65.

CONTRACTORS TO
GET SOME FAVORS
Public Service Commission Gives
a Decision in a Close Case
About Equipment
BUSY DAYS FOR COMMISSION
More School Districts Receive
Their Checks—Governor
to Return Monday
m The Public Serv
* ieeCommission has
JJ. been requested. In
• ww several communi
cations from rail
road companies, to
!l# .m'Sr-SSrl express its opinion
PJHMHMat upon the question
\ whether or not
such carriers may
i lawfully transport
contractors, their
i~"iwl men, material,
tools, equipment and supplies in and
about the performance of work being
done by the contractor for such car
rier without charging and collecting
tariff rates of compensation for such
transportation as in the ordinary case
of transportation service being ren
dered to the public.
The commission finds that the ques
tion is a close one under the provisions
of the public service company law.
The act provides, in Section 1, subsec
tion (d>, of Article li, that the rates
or other compensation "for any service
r< ndered or furnished" shall be set
forth in the published tariffs of the
company, and by Section 7 of Ar
ticle 111 it is made unlawful for any
carrier, after January 1, 1914, to ren
der or furnish any service of the kind
or character rendered or furnished by
It. except in accordance with such pub
lished tariffs.
Section 8 of the same article pro
hibits all unjust discrimination, as>
therein defined, as well as all undue
or unreasonable preference. The Con
stitution of the commonwealth pro
hibits the granting by any common
carrier ot any free passes, except to
ofheers and employes of the carrier
issuing such passes.
The commission has given the sub
ject careful consideration and as the
result thereof has concluded not to
construe the law as preventing a com
mon carrier from according free or
reduced rate transportation to a con
tractor, his men, materials, tools.
equipment and supplies, etc., necessary
to be transported by such contractor
in the performance of the work being
done for the carrier by the contractor,
inasmuch as the contractor, under
such circumstances, is to all practical
intents and purposes an employe of
the carrier engaged in work for the
carrier, and the transportation is, in
substance and effect, transportation
rendered by the carrier to itself.
Public Service Cases.— The petition
of the city of Wilkes-Barre for the
construction of a viaduct over the Jve
high Valley, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western and the Central Railroad
of New Jersey was not disposed of yes

to change the plans, and when they
are satisfactory the commission will fix
and determine the compensation sus
tained for damages to property, etc.
The petition of the Gleasonton and
Paddy's Run Railroad Company for
the approval of two crossings at grade,
located in Chapman's township, Clin
