RAILROAD RUMBLES URGE ECONOMY IN CAR SERVICE Official Shows How Govern ment May Be Benefited in Handling Freight Traffic In his car utility bulletin No. 4, tH. C. Bixler, superintendent of sta ions and transfers, urges further iconomy in handling care. His or ders are: "Make one car do the work of two," "I-oad cars to full capacity,''J '•Reduce accumulation," "Quicker' movement," "Please patrons," "Make ] more business." Under the head- j ing, "in War Transportation Is An [ Essential National Arm," lie says: J "To bring success to the national I arms in the present emergency, we] must practice economy in the use of' cars, so that more cars will be avail- 1 able to carry government freight, j food stuffs and general merchandise.! Waste by any of us, in any sphere is aid and comfort to the enemy, f The spirit of patriotism demands| that we conserve our resources. In transportation, car space is one ofi the most important resources and the saving of car space will increase' national efficiency. Ncctl More Co-operation "In these times of national need,; the railroads arc doing everything in their power to move the business, but we need more co-operation. "First—By ordering only such j cars as are needed for immediate loading. "Second—By loading cars to full carrying or cubic capacity. "Third—By prompt loading and j unloading and not, taking advantage] of the free time allowed under the; car demurrage rules. "A large part of the car shortage i> due, not to insufficient equipment, | but to the failure to load cars to | their full carrying or cubic capacity, and to not loading and unloading i promptly." * Brakeman Loses Leg When Train Starts Suddenly Waynesboro, May 25.

WAR DUTY TALK ! Superintendent X. \Y. Smith j Tells Pennsy Men How They May Do Their Bit I"How to Bo Patriotic and Do Your j Bit," was the subject of a timely and ; interesting talk last night by Su- I perintendent N. W. Smith, of the Mld | die division, Pennsylvania Railroad.' Fie was the principal speaker at the' j monthly meeting of the Friendship ] and Co-operative Club. Employes In ' jatendance numbered 200. j Superintendent Smith outlined the I many ways employes will be able to ; j show their patriotism, just as strong jas those in the trenches. He lauded i | the men who volunteered their serv- j ices for their country, and who will Ibe called later. He said: "There will be a big army of rall ] road men who will not be included in the first call or perhaps the second j and third. They have their duties to . | perform at home, and will be a big t factor in the war. Railroads have put | aside their efforts to compete with 1 j each other for profits and will work together for one cßuse. Employes | should co-operate in everything rc j quired. They will be doing a valu ! able service by economizing wherever' | it is possible. Ready to Hi'ln Out "We are ready to lend our engine? ' i to other railroads if needed, and other j I roads will co-operate in this move-, | j uient. When there is freight to be j [ handled employes should be ready to ; handle it promptly. Every man by j doing his bit will be just as valuable , ito the government as the men in l the trenches. We all should be mln j ute-men, and when a call conies do I | what we are asked to do. The time j is not fftr off when every man who ' ! has not gone to the front will be | s ! needed. We must work together to 1 i ! give the government the best serv- 1( ice possible." j , j Superintendent Smith referred to | , the Liberty Bonds and urged every I employe to buy at least one. The I ' Pennsylvania Railroad Company will ' | co-operate and permit employes to 1 1 j buy bonds on the instalment plan, j 1 ! Blank forms will be distributed with- j ' in a few days and employes may send 1 | ' in their subscription and make the j | ' first payment when able to do so. P. L. Smith, a passenger fireman I j ' on the Middle division of the Pennsyl- ' ( ; vunia Railroad, made an address i : showing the value of membership in i the Friendship Club, where every em- ' j ploye is given a chance to talk.
