RAILROAD PITCAffiN PLANT FOR COALING Will Be Ready For Service October 1; New Features By the first of October, the Penn sylvania expects to have completed a SIOO,OOO coaling station for its locomotives at Pltcairn. The bun kers from which the engines will take on their fuel supply will have 1,200 tons capacity. This plant will also do away with the old "grab bucket" system for coaling locomo tives, and will do thework quicker and at a great saving in labor. Under the building, where the coal .bunkers are located, has been con structed a great pit built substan tially of concrete. Coal will be dumped into this pit from hopper cars, and conveyed to the bunkers by means of automatic hoists. From the bunkers, the fuel slides into the tenders of the locomotive, much after the same manner that water is taken by means of a spout from a tank along the line. Unique Features The unique features of the plant are the hoists or buckets that carry the coal from the pit to the bun kers. 15ach of these hoists will con tain 2% tons of coal, and each will dump about 75 tons an hour. The hoists work silently, each being operated by a two-horsepower elec tric- motor. The controller permits the continuous ascent and descent of the elevating buckets, without an attendant, as the operation of ele vating the coal is started by an elec tric push button control, and like wise stopped by pushing the button. After the machinery is in opera tion, the operator of the coal plant may devote himself to other duties while the elevating process is going on. Reassign Officials On New Haven Railroad New Haven, Conn., Sept.

V.'liat punishment they will receive Is a matter which has not been decided •'Slacking" during wartime Is regard ed as a very serious olTense and merits a strong punishment. However.

Another Call Late Friday evening the Steelton board completed the examination of the last of the 917 men called." They will not hold any more examinations for several days. During that time the board will act upon the many ex emption claims that were made and will prepare a report for t(> appeal board. As the necessary quota from District No. X is 299 it is very proba ble that another call will be issued.

'Free has received reports from nearly all the local boards in the district. He has been busy for the past few days preparing these in order for the meeting of the board, which will be held Tuesday. The first thing that the board will take up at the meeting will be the claims for exemption on the grounds agricul ture, industrial and appeals from the decisions of the local boards. There are a large number of these and it will take some time for the board to act upon all. It Is hoped that they will be finished by Tuesday afternoon. The rendering of the decision of the Voard on these claims will be awaited with much interest and will do con s'derable toward determining whether or not a full quota is to be sent from this district on September 5.
