14 Reading Has New Branch Built to Hog Island Plant j The Reading Railway Company is j now operating a double-track line between Forty-ninth street. Phil adelphia, tapping the big shipping plant at Hog Island, and the West inghouse plant. This, it is believed, will solve the transportation prpb lem to those points. Freight will be moved over this line at night. The Pennsylvania railroad is con structing a new line which starts at the Sun Shipbuilding plant at Chea ter and runs through the Westing house plant, the Baldwin plant, the Eddystone and Remington plants at Eddystone, and also the Hog Island plant, and connects with the Penn sylvania tracks again around Six / tieth street.

Pennsy Cuts Cars From Many Passenger Trains to Aid Munitions Employes Philadelphia, Feb. S.—The rapid growth of war industries in the sec tion between Philadelphia and Bal timore has proved a serious drain on the supply of passenger ears on the Pennsylvania railroad. Special trains operated to and from such in dustries in six localities require the use of 215 cars daily, as follows: Between Philadelphia and Hog Is land, sixty cars: between Baltimore I and Sparrows Point, seventy cars; between Baltimore and Aberdeen, forty-five cars; between Philadelphia and Eddystone, twenty-two cars; be tween West Chester and Kddystone, eight cars; between Bristol and Ed dystone, ten cars. In addftion, ten cars daily will be operated in the near future for spe cial industrial service between Phil adelphia and Bristol and five between Trenton and Bristol for the employes of the shipbuilding plant at the last named point. In order to provide sufficient cars for the use of employes going to and from these essential war industries, tile Pennsylvania railroad has been obliged to draw upon the number or- i dlnarlly in use in its suburban lines, i Special passenger train service for I war industries is also being operated at Erie and Huntingdon.

The drifted snow Is from three to four feet deep on the entire length of the tracks, Felix M. Davis, traffic superintendent of the Harris burg Railways Company, said this morning. Mr. Davis is personally su perintending the laborers, and said this morning that the snow is so tightly packed that his men are using picks. The snow has to be shoveled everv step of the way, as it is too hard to be swept or plowed off the tracks. Rivirside Is open as far as a point considerably north of Division street.

RAILROAD RAILROADS NOW NEAR NORMAL Reading Moving Coal Trains ] From Mine .Districts; Pennsy Improves Reading, Pa* Feb. B.—Slightly more than 1,000 cars of anthracite i were moved from St. Clair, Cresson j anil Tamaqua last night. This was the largest amount brought down the main line for many days. Be- j cause of the milder weather the lo- j comotlves were able to haul nearly ! fulV tonnage, and there was no trou- j ble whatever in getting over the | road. Much of this fuel was destined for Philadelphia and points where the situation has become acute. Conditions in the Schuylkill coal regions are very much improved and the breakers are supplied with empty cars promptly. It is expected that the output to-day* will reach almost normal, or 1,400 cars. 1 1 Reports Kncouragiiig The reports received at the office of General Superintendent W. H. Keffer, of the Heading Railway 1 , Company, show that there is a gen eral loosening up oT traffic conditions all over the system. The Western Maryland, Cumberland Valley and Pennsylvania Railroads report sim ilar conditions. While the outlook on the surface is apparently encouraging, the rail roads are now confronted with a shortage of motive power due to so i many freezeups during the early part of the week, all of which were of a | more or less serious character. These i locomotives are gradually being put into shape and it is expected that most of them will be hack in service by the end of the week. Boxing Show Big Success; Big Dance For Tonight I-ast night's athletic entertain ment for members of the Motive Power Athletic Association of the Pennsylvania railroad was a big suc cess. Each of the big bouts proved | interesting and the boxers acquitted themselves admirably. No decisions were allowed. Another program Is being arranged, the participants to, get credit by points. To-night a bg dance program will be in order at the rooms of the ath-l letic association in North Seventh! street near Reily. The jazz orclies-' tra will furnish the music. On I Thursday, February 14, a Valentine dance will be held. Lift Freight Embargoes on Pennsylvania Lines Beginning at midnight last night I all embargoes on freight of every I description In less than carload lots was lifted on the lines of the Penn sylvania railroad east of Pittsburgh. This improves conditions for local shippers. The mild weatber of the last two days has brought about a general loosening up of traffic. Although the situntlon so far as it affects carload freight is still serious, a few more days, it was said, would show a vost i improvement. RAILROADS SHOW LESS EARNINGS Estimate For Year Near Fig ures Government Must Pay For Control Washington, D. C., Feb. B.—Rail road earnings during the year 1017 showed a general decline, the big" drops in revenues occurring during the last three months of the year. The total earnings were $958,000,- 000. This is near the amount esti mated that will have to be paid lo the railroads by the United States as compensation under national control. The sum the government will have to pay the roads under the bill pend ing in Congress is estimated at $045,- 000,000 by Chairman Smith, .if the Senate committee, having the rail road bill in charge. Figures for 1917 show that if rail way income continues to decline as it has in recent months, the govern ment will face a deficit In making its compensation payments, aug mented by increases in wages ana the constantly rising cost of ma terials and supplies. j Big December Drop In December, the last month under private operatio;i, rail earnings de clined sharply, according to early reports from railroads now being le ceived by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The average reduction ol income was estimated at. thirty per cent., caused by the ever mount ing cost of operations, doubly in creased by the bitter winter weather of December, together with a n:d den drop In revenues resulting from traffic congestion and embargoes. Compared with the estimated in come of $958,000,000 last year the Ilgures for 1918 was $1,087,533 000- for 1915, $716,476 000: for 1914' '5692,330,000 and for 1913 tsifi 510.000.

B.—The eight liour day for railroad workers is not being observed generally, S. K. Heb erling, president of the Switchmen's Union to-day told the railway vage commission. He said it was be cause the Adamson law placed 'no penalty on overtime. "The only hours-of-work-law which is observed," he said, "is the sixteen-hour law, violation of which) is punishable through indictment."! Mr. Heberiing said overwork was) responsible for the extreme hazards") of the switchmen's occupation, ex haustion causing so many accidents that the union's insurance rates are very high. He said small pay pre vented many men joining tile union through inability to pay the insur ance assessments. The membership now is 10,700. Railroad Notes Better train service on the Pennsy lines to-day brought joy to many travelers. Officials hope to have still better reports to-morrow. E. G. Strine ,a Pennsy brakeman. is off duty on account of illness. 1-Ie is confined to his home at York. While three locomotives were going, west on the Lebanon Valley branch of the Heading, with a snow plow, the lead engine, No. 154 9, jumped the -track at Prescott and keeled over on its sida in the snow. The enginemen jumped when the locomotive left the rails and es caped injury. Twenty-six locomotives of the 1700 type on the Reading divison, are to be equipped with Duplex stokers. Engine 1725 has been equipped with the apparatus and is now being tried on the Temple grade. A discipline bulletin issued from the office of Superintendent N. W.
