A statement setting forth the conserva tion plan of the company was issued yesterday by George D. Dixon, vice president in charge of t raffle. He said: "To conform with the recommend ations of the Railroads' War Board, issued from Washington. D. C.. and culling upon all lines to readjust their services with a view to conserv ing fuel supply and increasing capac ity for moveing coal, food. Govern ment materials,and troops, the Penn sylvania Railroad will, in the near future, put into effect a general and quite extehsive revision of its passen ger train schedules. The final de tails are now being worked out and will be announced to the public promptly upon completion. In the meantime we wish to explain, as clearly as possible, the purposes that we are seeking to accomplish and the conditions which have made it inevi-' table that we should take this step. "At the outset we desire to empha size the fact that the object sought is not financial economy or. an in crease in net revenues. In reality, a sacrifice in revenues will result. The economies which we are endeavoring to effect are physical and are being devised for the sole purpose of in creasing, as much as possible, the amount of transportation service, of [the most urgently necessary kinds, I that can be rendered to the govern ment and the public with the rail road plant that is at our disposal. "In brief, we are attempting two things: First, to increase immedi ately the movement of such freight I as foodstuffs and other necessaries of life; second, to clear our lines for the prompt handling of government supplies and troops, which must shortly be transported on a large 'scale. As our lines, terminals and | locomotives are now being used to :the maximum of their capacity, the only way in which we can provide ; for the increased government traffic, 'and for the freer movement of per ishable and other necessary freight, is to reduce the number of passenger train units that are being operated over the railroad. This will release both trackage and engines for other forms of service." While the changes in railroad pas senger train schedules are not ready for publication, the cut will include suburban trains, through trains for the west, the Philadelphia and New York service, trains between New York and Washington, and will strike generally all branch lines. No changes will be made in the seashore trains. Sleeping cars and restaurant cars likewise will he withdrawn to a great, extent, to be replaced by day coaches, accommodating a larger number of persons. To make up for the reduction in restaurant cars, the traveling public will be encouraged to take their lunches with them on the train, or avail themselves of the opportunity of station restaurants. Conductor Spotts First Railroader to Join New Guard C. H. Spotts, conductor on the Pennsylvania, was the first railroad man to enroll in the Home Guard. He made one of the best addresses at the Courthouse Saturday night. Among other things he said that pre \ tous to the outbreka of the war he was a pacifist. Tint now he was swung around to the belief that it is the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH duty of every citizen in the country to uo his part toward bringing vic tory to the standards ol' democracy. "X am beyond the agt limit," he said, "and 1 guess my physical quali fications would not bo such us to make me attractive material for any recruiting officer, but in case of a pinch 1 guess 1 could use a gun and count one in a line of soldiers drawn up in defense or tile land. 1 uon't know anything about the ways of a soldier; but l want to learn. 1 don't know anything about handling a' high-power rule; but I an willing to ! take a gun ami go out with other I men to tne ranges and learn. 1 have been talking this matter over with many railroad men and they feel that we must have some armed force in the country when the young men are called away to France. It there is to be lighting on these j shores, 1 would much sooner be shot' over near the coast than in my own | back yard." Conductor Spotts has been promi- ; nent in educational and social wel- | tare in the West End and is a well known man. RAILROAD NOTES The Pennsy airbrake instruction car is doing duty at Mittiintown. Hiram lucGowan Simmers, clerk !at Enola, is.off duty to-day looking ! after the registration in his district, j ] The regular monthly meeting of | Assembly No. 21, Mutual Beneficiall j Association of Pennsylvania liatl- I [ road Employes will be held to-night j ! at Second and Walnut streets, lm- j portant business will be uiscussed. A freight wreck at Sheridan yes- 1 terda'y delayed Reading trains to and j from Harrisburg. Railroad laborers are said to be j increasing since the additional wages I I were announced sometime ago. I The Reading hauled 1,166 excur-j sionists on Sunday. Of this number; J 306 were out Of llarrisburg. Reading is shipping an average j |of sixty carloads of cement daily | from Reading plants. i Railroad men who have enlisted | I for duty in France have been or-1 I dered to report at Philadelphia to- ' j morrow. In the Lucknow Shop League! ' series yesterday, the Smith Shop! j team defeated the Storehouse I champs, sc6re 4 to 2. The victors! made their hits count. JUNE 5, 1917. 5
