able that a formal hearing will be

Ainey, of the Public Service Com
mission, on the complaints of Erie.
Corry and Warren against the man
ner of the Pennsylvania Gas Com
pany in giving notice of an increase
of rotes. It was contended that tha;
company did not post tariffs, but made
advertisement and posted notices
that new tariffs could be seen upon
application to employes. It was con
tended that it did not constitute
enough notice, to which the company
answered tliat wide publicity had
been given. The case is preliminary
to the general hearing on natural gas (

Disorders occasioned by the scarcity

The senators have requested the gov."

RAILROAD
P. R.R. OFFICIAL
TO BUILD LINES
Report That Vice-President
Atterbury Will Go to France
at an Early Date
W. W. Atterbury. vice-president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
may be the man to direct the build
ing of the railroads needed for the
prosecution of the war in France.
Rumor in Washington has it that
he has been tendered the position.
The following dispatches to the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times concerns
the naming of Mr. Atetrbury:
Xo Confirmation
"While neither denial nor con
firmation of the report that General
Manager W. W. Atterbury, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, has been se
lected as superintendent of railroad
construction in France for military
purposes in the prosecution of the
war by the United States, the refusal
in high quarters to give any infor
mation about the matter was made
in a manner to convey the impres
sion that there was a good founda
tion for believing that Mr. Atterbury
has been asked to undertake the task
indicated.
"A high official in the war de
partment when asked if Mr. Atter
bury was to have charge of railroad
building for this government in
France, replied that he could furnish
no military information whatever for
publication, but if he were to speak
of the matter he would at least say
the report was premature.
"In other military circles there was
a disposition to think that the posi
tion had been tendered Mr. Atter-
Ijury and that he had it under con
sideration."
