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.

Railroad Shopmen Quit;
Request Wage Increase
Boston, Sept. 1. —More than 2,500
machinists, boilermakers and machin

Not Safe to Bluff
Any More About Work
.By Associated Press
It isn't safe to bluff about wanting
work these strenuous days—ln Har
risburg, at least. David Kohler, who
claims to be employed as dishwasher
in a colored restaurant, was brought
before tne court yesterday, charged
with an attempt to take a workman's
dinner pall. The workman was
George Munson, of 539 Woodbine
htreet. He saw Kohler remove the
bftcket and asked what the man
wanted. Kohler replied that lie was
hungry. Munson asked him If he
wanted work, and upon receiving a
reply In the affirmative attempted to
lead the new recruit to the boss.
\Vhen face to face with real work
Kohler ducked and attempted to
make a get-away. The court im
posed a fine it $6 or ten days In JaiL

42 ADDITIONAL MEN
ACCEPTED FOR ARMY
[Continued From First PK<\]
tlon the men were allowed to go.
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. It is
probable that the extent of the pun
ishment will be that the men arrested
will not be allowed to file any clainlfc
of exemption and if found fit will be
sent along to the training camps.
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.
So far only twenty-seven men have
been certified, this being a sufficient
number to warrant a full quota being
sent away with the first contingent.
Chief Clerk of the Appeal Board
Robert R. '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. Nearly
all the local boards have certified n
sufficient number of names. So far
in Dauphin county there have been
thirty-five names certified by the
toards at Paxtang and Steelton.

A golf match between teams cap
tained by A. Boyd Hamilton and

afternoon. Varloiw golf matches
have been arranged by the captains

was comparatively small to the
crowds that will probably participate
in the numerous activities and doings
when the club life is in full swing.
