RAILROAD RUMBLES OTHER DUTIES FOR R.R. AGENTS Traveling Freight Men With Solicitors Will Stay on Payrolls The army of traveling freight agents employed by the different; railway lines of the country are gradually being assigned to other duties or quitting the railway serv ice. Many of these men were pro moted from other departments and are valuable in their particular lines. Soliciting of freight by those agen cies has ceased and all those who made Reading their headquarters have been assigned to other duties.: The Lehigh Valley and Erie Railroad companies will close their Philadel phia offices Tuesday, April 30. Outside Agencies According to the Interstate Com-1 mercc Commission's report for 191fi., the total expense of the class I ronds for "outside agencies" was $24,471,- 940 and for advertising the expense' was J7,781.7~. Not all of these ex-! penses will be saved by the new or-, ders because the salaries will boi continued, but ther<* will be a very; large saving in rentals and office ex-j penses generally. In 1916 there! were fi,043 traveling agents and so-1 licitors a-d their compensation was nearly $9 .00,000. There were also 1,998" empVoyes of outside agencies whose compensation was nearly $2,000,000 acd IjP5 other traffic em ployes whose c/ompensation was $785,930. Government Officials on Visit to Reading Shops Reading, April 18. —John Winter-1 steen a>id George M. DeGuire, super visors of equipment of the United SiaVets railway administration were *n Reading. They were met at the s'fUion by Superintendent of Motive Power and Rolling Equipment 1. A. SeUlers and spent some time at the looaf. shops. These men have unlim ited authority as to the regulation of motive power. Mr. Wfntersteen was formerly with the Reading Railway Company, having been located at Port Richmond. Later he was with the Cornwall Railroad. The men were shown about the shops and made a close study of what the large plants can do. FREIGHT CONDITIONS IMPROVE The freight situation in Philadel phia shows a slight improvement, but it will take some days to clear up the accumulation. The rains and disagreeable weather last week are attributed as some of the causes. This Corn Will Peel Right Off! "Gets-It" Makes Corns Come Off The "Banana-Peel" Way!
