6 READING TRAFFIC KEEP MEN BUSY Officials and Employes Will Work All Day Sunday; Motive Power Is Scarce Officials, yard employes and train men, on the Philadelphia and Read ing Railway, are hustling to prevent a freight congestion. There were no holidays to-day and Sunday will be Just as busy as any other day. Ruth erford yards is the busieet place on the Reading system. Assistant General Manager F. M. Kalck spent sometime at Rutherford yards to-day and will lie on hand to morrow to assist in moving the freight from East and West. For sometime shipments from the West and South have been exceedingly heavy. Motive Power Scarce The freight and coal trade continues to boom. On Thursday the Reading handled more than 18,000 cars, in cluding about 1,400 cars of anthracite on one division. Local coal dealers are wondering where the coal is going, as scarcely any of it comes to this city. It is the general supposition that nearly all of the 1,400 cars per day are sent to tidewater. It Is said that the Reading company could use fifty more locomotives in the cal and freight service. The castbound shipments are enormous and congestions at the Rutherford yard are becoming frequent because of a shortage of power to take care of the traffic. GIRLS! WOMEN!

Railro'ad men of the country, comprising 3,000 members each of the Master Car Builders' Association and the Master Mechanics' Association, which build and repair the rolling stock of vir tually all of the big and little lines in the United States and Canada, have put patriotism and preparedness above business and pleasure and can celed the annual railway congress. The convention, one of the greatest of national railroad meetings, was to have been held here in June, in ac cordance with custom for ten years past, in connection with an exhibit by the National Railway Supply Manu facturers' Association. year the exhibit covered more than 80,000 square feet. The decision to abandon this year's meeting, for which shore hotclmen al ready were making preparations, was reached at a meeting of the joint ex ecutive committee of the three asso ciations in New York yesterday. > (Jive Up Personal Interests The impelling reason was disincli nation upon the part of the railroad chiefs to devote any time to their per sonal advantage which might be need ed for the service of the nation. The decision was communicated to-day to Albert T. Bell, chairman of the con vention committees of the Chamber of Commerce and the Hotel Men's Association. It follows: "The proposed June convention of our associations has been postponed for one year. Conditions existing in the country having had their effect upon business, the patriotic impulse of our people to refrain from any ex penditure ot time and money that might be of use to our country in its necessities impels this decision. "We sincerely trust that this post ponement is but for one year, and that in 1918 we shall have a larger convention than ever." Hotclmen promptly wired their ap proval of the course taken, regardless of the fact that the loss of the conven tion deprives the city of one of the biggest and most profitable meetings of the yeas.

HARRISBtniO TELEGRXPH |To the Public: ! WE are confronted with the 5 most serious condition that the | j bread-baking industry has ever j ! been called \ipon to * face. For ! I months we have borne the entire | I burden of constantly rising costs of J | materials, which now threatens the very I j life of the industry. 2 • Profits have been sacrificed that the retail price • I of bread might remain the same—but the cost of I • materials continued to go higher and higher. ■ - I Bakers in all parts of the country have faced the same conditions and A I almost without exception, have met the problem in the same way. f Let us show, in a very few figures, the present prices of bread-making 111 - • terials, compared with those of normal times:— | Normal Price Present Price 5 J $4.50 Flour $12.50 I .04% Sugar .08 • I .07% Lard .23 I ! .OVAMiIk .07 J .05 Malt .07 | • $2.85 Coke $ll.OO J* |. .11 Gasoline .23 I • .48 Horse Feed sl.lO Increase in Cost of Labor, 20 per cent * • We are not going to force these increased costs onto the shoulders of the " consumer, however. We will continue to carry the greater part of this gigan tic burden. But we are brought face to face with but three alternatives:—' I —to materially cut • • quality of the loa| | to slightly advance J • of the loaf. § a —or, selling our goo J loss. I A The first, we do not believe you want. The second alternative is the only | answer, for the third would be positively ruinous. On, and after Monday, April 23rd, the retail price of t i Bricker's Bread i 1 will be 6c and 12c—the larger loaf, however, will be larger than the one now 8 sold at 10c. The 5c loaf of Bricker's Rye Bread will be discontinued altogeth er, and, instead, a size to retail at 12c will be made. • ™ We feel that this explanation is due The Public and ask that you bear 9 with us during the present crisis. ™ | West Shore Baking Co., ! !
