OPPOSE ORDER
TO REMOVE MEN
Chambersburg Chamber of
Commerce Asks Recall of
Railroad Order
Unless there is a change in pres
ent plans, Cumberland Valley Rail
road men, who run from Cumbo to
Rutherford, will have to move to
Martinsburg and vicinity. This or
der will affect a large number of
Chambersburg residents, and the
Chamber of Commerce has been ask
ed to confer with President M. C.
Kennedy of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, and endeavor to have the
order changed.
The new order means the removal
of 180 men from Chambersburg to
Cumbo or Martinsburg. The train
men operate freight from Cumbo to
Kutherford. The trains come over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
Cumbo the new classification yards.
Fro there they are run over the
Cumberland Valley and Philadel
phia and Reading Railway to Ruth
erford.
Two Families Move
Already two families have remov
ed to Cumbo which is a short dis
tance east of Martinsburg. The new
lassification yards are to Martins
-I>urg what Enola is to Harrisburg,
sind the railroad company, it is said,
iigures that it pays to have the men
near the terminal point.
The committee appointed by the
Chambersburg Chamber of Com
merce includes, A. N. Pomeroy, T.
J. Breerton and Robert Criswell.
They will meet President Kennedy
this week and report the result of
the conference next week.
