The movement of foodstuffs and other necessities will be properly provided for, and also the transpor tation of freight needed for the war industries, but in view of the fuel situation it is felt by the manage ment of the railroad that it must re ceive the first attention. The efforts of the operating forces are being 1 centered upon moving as large a number of empty cars as possible from eastern points to the bituminous and anthracite coal mines reached by the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad. The object of this is to secure the largest prac ticable supply of cars at the mines to-morrow morning ready for load ing. The full capacity of the railroad ■will then be utilized 10 rush the load ed cars to destinations as quickly as possible after they arc filled. Coal First To-day In order that the movement of coal may be as free and unimpeded as ?>ossible to-day. it will, for the day, >e given the right of way over all other eastbound freight traffic, with the execption of livestock. In taking this action the Pennsyl vania railroad is guided not only by the necessities of the situation, but Is also complying with the following order, Just issued by Director Gener al McAdoo. through A. H. Smith, as sistant to the director general of railroads: "In view of the order of the fuel administrator for a five days ces sation of industrial activity in this territory for the purpose of accumu lating and distributing an ample fuel supply, 1 urge and direct that every possible effort be made by the rail roads to move coal and to co-oper ate to the limit with the fuel admin istration for the accomplishment of the desired end. 1 hope that the of ficers and employes of the railroads will do their parts so effectively that there may be no further occasion for interruption of the industrial and Eormal activities of the nation.

He says: "Rumors have been circulated re cently that the last quarterly meet ing was called for the purpose of laising the price, but I wish to state that not one single word pertaining to the advancement of the price was uttered by any member of this asso ciation."

Wage Commission Starts Work cn Business Basis; the Brotherhoods First i Washington. Jan. il. —Director 1 General McAdoo's newly-appointed railroad wage commission, headed by Secretary Lane met to-day to take up labor questions pending before the railroad adnflnistration, and will devote afternoons for several weeks to hearing and investigating com plaints and petitions. Secretary Lane said the wage de ! mands of the four leading railroad brotherhoods would be heard first and later consideration would be ; given to other definite wage request*. Before the investigations are con -1 eluded it is planned to inquire into labor conditions, wages and living expenses for all classes of railway labor, regardless of whether definite i demands have been presented. Labor leaders will be called in and 1 the recommendations of railroad presidents and other executives will be heard. Most sessions will be pub- I lie and the scope of the investiga tion will depend largely on develop ments. Secretary Lane said the commis sion planned to travel as little as : possible, but that it probably would use the investigating machinery al . ready established by the Department : of Labor. I "We want to deal direct with rail road men," said the secretary, "and get their views at first hand. This will be a businesslike investigation and in the end we want to give Director General McAdoo the best available information on the whole labor situ ation boiled down for his final ac | tion."

PLAN CHANGE OF SIGNAL SYSTEM Pennsy to Start Improve ments Here in Interlocking Switch Manipulation Plans have been completed for ex tensive signal improvements on the Philadelphia division. The changes will include the entire Mt. Joy branch from Royalton to Dil lervllle. and the big tower at North street, this city, where many switches are operated. It is understood work will start in this city at once. At North street position beam light dwarf signals will be installed. They will replace the old style semaphore signals now In use on the Harris burg section of the Philadelphia divi sion. Those now In use are operat ed mechanically, and some electro pneumatically. The new signals are to be of the fame type as those used at present at the entrance to the new Cumber land Valley Railroad bridge and be tween Paoli and Philadelphia on the main line. It is believed this im provement will bo followed with the renewing of all interlocking plants in the vicinity of this city. Officials are of the belief that the new beam ltght signals will be a big improvement, because they are op erated at less cost, simple in mani pulation. and include safety. On the Mt. Joy branch it is said the new overhead light signal system will take the place of the semaphore system now in force. WOMAN'S LEG BROKEN Waynesboro. Pa., Jan. 21.—Mrs. E.

CONVERTED CHINESE WINS AMERICAN BRIDE Denver.—A romance which began in the Nazarene Chinese Mission, Los Angeles .several months ago, when Edgar Lee, a Chinese fruit merchant, embraced the Christian faith, result ed yesterday in his marriage in Den ver to Miss Alice L. Stuart, a teach er in the mission, through whose in fluence Lee took up his new religion. Lee and Miss Stuart were com pelled to overcome numerous diffi culties in order to wed. In Califor nia they were balked by tho law which prohibits the intermarriage of Chinese and whites. They came to Denver. Here they discovered that, because of Lee's youthfulness. they would be unable to marry unless proper consent was forthcoming from his parents or guardian. Lee cabled to his parents in China. He was unable to get a reply. Then he telegraphed to his brother, Sam C. Lee, of Los Angeles. The brother wired his consent to the marriage. BEST PAYING R. R. HAS ONLY 2 CARS Is but Eleven Miles Long Is But Eleven Miles Long Sit on the Floor. Webbers Falls, Okla.—This place boasts of being the headquarters of the most profitable railroad, for its length. in the country. The odd part of it is that the road had to fall before it finally became a money maker. The railroad—the Webbers Falls, Shawnee & Western—connects Web : bers Falls, a town of about 1,500 inhabitants, with Warner, which has übout 400 residents. The road, which is eleven miles long:, w-as built by popular subscription several years ago, operated a few months, then went broke. After that, until Its present management, no cars were run over it. Something over a year ago, M. J. Maples, seeing that the people of Webbers Falls wanted the road, or dered an old inspection car from Chicago, put it on the road and began to operate it. According to figures obtainable, the road is clearing from $2 5 to S3O a day. Maples declares that, con sidering his investment —$300 for the car—this is the greatest profit of any road in the country. No Seats in Car The car Is operated by a four cylinder gasoline engine. There are no seats, and the passengers sit on the floor. There is room for seven teen persons. The car is lighted with electricity, and on the front is painted "No. 5." fl business justi fies it, the rolling stock will be in creased. It now consists of the in spection car and a hand car, used for freight. The car carries the mails between Webbers Falls and Warner. This, it Is said, more than pays the operat ing expense. The "train" runs on a regular schedule—three trips a day. Including stops, the time for the distance is thirty-three minutes. The car stops at every wagon road. The one-way fare is 50 cents. Maples must get $1.50 or more for each trip. If there is only one pas senger he must pay the full amount. If only two passengers the font la 75 cents each. If three or more' th® regular fare Is In effect. It is possible to charter a "special train" on the route by paying SI.SQM' This is at the rate of 13 7-11 cents' per irile, and is probably the cheap est special train rate in effect on any road. Posted just inside the car, where every passenger can read, is a large notice. It says: "This car Is oper •ed by no railroad company in the United States, nor is it operated under any lease or permission given by any company or persons or per son." The notice releases Maples from liability in case of accident to oassengers. NO NEED TO PITY FARMER Agriculturist Is in a N umber of WOTS Bettor OIT Than His Cousin in tile City The Great compensation of living on an American farm, with its di versified products, is the amount of living it yields for the family, even when the cash return per farm is comparatively small, the Milwaukee Journal observes. Missouri Is a college of agriculture, yet the latest Investigation from varied sections of the state showed that the farmer, after making 5 per cent interest on his investment ,liad on the average only $422 a year as the return from his labor. It is significant that 50 per cent of the farmers investigated wore getting less than S3OO a year for their time in addition to a house to live in and furm products for use in the family to the value of $163. it seems small for a farmer and his entire family to work all year at the rate of $25 a month. The average city laborer, howev er, has no capital from which He is. drawing returns, while the average farmer, according to this tabulation, has several thousand dollars' worth of farm property that is earning 5 per cent. The farmer has therefore engaged in an occupation which per mits of the accumulation of some capital. In addition he has raised most of his living so that his cash returns can to a large extent be . saved or applied to outstanding £ debts, thereby still further increas ing his capital. The net returns show a house ,a living assured and some accumula tion of capital for the country, while the city usually gives only a rented house ,a precarious living with prices soaring and little or no savings. The farmer still excels his city brother tn financial resources, in reliability of his cource of Income, and In fin 'anclal Independence.
