Official Order Out to Elimi

WiiNhinKtou. D. C.. March 27.—Dis
continuance of all freight and pas.
senger traffic solicitation by indi
vidual lines has been ordered by each
of the three regional railroad direc
tors. it became known here yesterday.
This action will eliminate millions of
dollars of expense and transfer thous
ands of men to other railroad serv
ice. The central railroad adminis
tration was not directly involved in
the order, although it was issued un
der authority of an early general or
der by Director General McAdoo re
quiring the abandonment of all activ
ities not essential under Government
unified management. .
Order Wilis I.vpt'clnl
Koi the last two months treight
soliciting bureaus of individual rail
i oads have been reducing their activ
ity and recently many had quit en
tirely in anticipation of a definite or
der requiring this. The attitude of
the regional was that ex
pensive bureaus maintained by the
railroads under the old competitive
system for soliciting freight and
passenger service were entirely un
necessary now that competition has
beep eliminated.
Aii investigation is being made to
determine how the officers and em
utoyes deprived of their duties under
he new order can be used in other
ial!waj service, This investigation
.1 Iso applies to offices maintained by
: oliciting bureaus. It is unlikely
• hat many men will be dismissed, it
is i;aid.

Reading Company Adopts
Daylight Mining Plans
Pottavllle, March 27. Bancroft
Mountain, near Locustdale, is to be
stripped of its surface for a distance
of two miles and the great coal veins
will be exposed to the open air. It
will thus be possible to undertake
; daylight mining on a greater scale
; than ever before attempted in the.
anthracite region. While the cost of
this engineering feat will be great,
tbe advantage of mining coal ill the
open, free from the damp, dirt and
noxious gases of the mines more than
compensate for the first cost.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company is undertaking
the work, having acquired the tract
from the Bancrofts, who were a firm
of independent operators who de
! veloped tracts of coal very extensive-
Ily near Locustdale a half century
| ago. This project, with other en
terprise in contemplation, will put
the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany in position to greatly increase
its total output in the near future,
officers of the company having de
! termined to spare no expense in aid
! ing to swell the production of an
i thracite to a figure that the coal sent
| forward will be sufficient to satisfy
all reasonable public demands.

RUBBER manufacture has reached a stability and strength that classes
it with the major industries. Next to iron and steel, rubber stands out
as a product in almost universal demand. The growth of the rubber busi

A conservative and well-managed rubber enterprise, in our opinion, offers
security to the investor that is excelled in no other line.
