ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
ORDER EMBARGO [
AT PHILADELPHIA
Two Big Cities Put on War
Basis to Help the I nited
States Government
Philadelphia, May 10. Begin
ning next Wednesday, Philadelphia
and Baltimore will be placed on a
war basis with regard to the amount
of freight which may be shipped
in by the railroads.
To speed up the movement of
troops and munitions, to check
freight congestion on the Atlantic
seaboard and to utilize railroad ter
minals to their best advantage new :
regulations effective that day will
govern carload domestic traffic from
all points in the country to freight
stations, team tracks and private
sidings in both cities.
After May 15 traffic will be han
dled only upon special permits cov
ering each individual shipment. The
consignee and not the shipper must
apply for and receive the permit be
fore freight will be allowed to go
forward.
It is the present intention of the
railroad administration to make this
general embargo effective until the
close of the war.
To Limit Shipments
The program of limiting ship
ments in this manner was ordered
by the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Pitts
burgh conference committee of the
eastern railroads, a branch of the
national railroad administration. It
is composed of Samuel Rea. presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad;
Agnew T. Dice, president of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway,
and A. W. Thompson, vice-president
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The general embargo will carry i
exemptions, among which are cen- (
tain perishable food products, coal. |
Government freight, freight for rail-|
l oad use and for certain war indus- j
U-io!< Such freight will not require I
special permits, but may be for- j
warded in the ordinary manner un-.
loss affected by later restrictions.
All other carload domestic freight
will be subject to the new regula
tions.
Some Considerations
Before the issuance of a permit j
consideration will lie given to the
following factors: The general state
of railroad traffic, the condition of
local yards, stations and sidings, the
extent of the consignee's require
ments, the urgency of his needs and
of the needs of others, the con-1
signee's private track and storage
facilities, if any, the consignee's
ability to take the shipment prompt- I ,
ly off the railroad's hands and the!
transportation requirements of the j
Government and of the war indus- .
tries.
One groat object sought is to pre
vent as far as possible the use of I
railroad cars, yards and sidings for
storage purposes—still one of the'
most fruitful causes of terminal con
gestion despite the high demurrage
charges.

MANY TESTS FOR
RAILROAD MEN
Middle Division Employes
Show One Hundred Per
Cent, in Efficiency
In addition to scoring 100 per
cent, records in Liberty Bond sub
"scriptions, employes of the Middle
Division of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, have shown a perfect score in '
efficiency. This has been expected j
for some time. It is the fourth time ,
in a year that the men employed !
under N. W. Smith, superintendent.
have reached that record. They
have never gone below 99.9.
Efficiency Bulletin No. 113, just
issued, shows that up to Monday a
total of 23,816 tests were made. !
Special duty men worked secretly j
during the latter part of April and I
up to Monday. May 6. There was I
not one miss, and when the records j
were shown Superintendent Smith j
he at once ordered a bulletin posted
thanking the men for their good
work.
What Tests Included
On signals there were 200 tests.
Every irregularity possible was
worked to catch the men, but they
proved equal to the test. There were
seventy-four automatic stop signals
used and forty-four other stop sig
nals placed against trainmen. Not
one was missed. Flagmen to the
number of 200 were tried out and
proved perfect.
On arriving on time 1,201 tests
were made: and on conformity to
speed regulations, 2,712. Watchmen
were on duty at crossings to see if
the proper signals were given with
engine bells and whistles. Another !
test was in taking care of passen- j
gers and keeping the aisles of pas- ;
senger cars free from baggage, j
There were in all 100 branches in j
which the numerous tests were
made. V

Reading Women Organize
War Relief Division
Wives of employes of the Schuyl
kill Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad met in the local Y. M.
C. A. to organize the Schuylkill
branch of the woman's division of
war relief department. No. 2. Mrs.
William Elmer, wife of the superin
tendent of the division, is the chair
man, and at the meeting Mrs. J. P.
Charlton was elected secretary and
Mrs. Amos McCormick treasurer.
The chief function of the local
division of the war league will be to
look after the families of Pennsyl
vania Railroad employes who are in
the war.
The speakers at the meeting,
which was informal, were Mrs. W.
W. Atterbury, wife of Brigadier
General Atterbury, director of rail
roads in France, and Mrs. Elisha
Le, wife of Acting Vice-President
Lee, both directors of the Philadel
phia organization. A vocal solo
was furnished by Miss Helen Day.
Retired veteran employes of the
Pennsylvania Railroad will meet in
Philadelphia Friday, May 18. Many
Harrisburgers will attend.
Penn and Yale Clash in
8-oar Race on Schuylkill
The University of Pennsylvania's
first eight, unbeaten this season, will
meet Yale oarsmen to-morrow in a
great rowing contest, which will be
witnessed by a number of Harrisburg
alumni from Old Ell. The Yale out
fit had a near calamity on arriving,
their thin shell just escaping dam
age from a canoe drifting along with
two sleeping passengers. This was
held a bad-luck omen by some. The
Penn. athletes under Coach Wright,
having two splendid victories this
season, feel utterly confident and
what betting is heard gives odds
against the Yale blue.

The Galahad club, with Shay in
the box, won a 1 to 0 contest from
the Hick-aA-Thrift aggregation last
evening in a seven-inning Allison
Hill game. Shay was opposed by
"Jan" Irwin, and both tossers were
so effective that only one run was
scored in the entire seven innings.
Shay struck out eight batsmen, while
' Irwin whiffed nine.' Shay walked one
I batter. Errors were also at a min
imum, but one miscue being com
mitted by each team.
"Birdie" Hinkle was the -only play
er to cross the rubber. In the sixth
frame he led off with a two-bagger,
and when Pitcher Irwin tossed the
ball to third to use the hidden ball
trick the sphere rolled to the side
lines and Hinkle by fast sprinting
scored from second base.
Garverich was the only "Hiekle"
player who could connect with
Shay's delivery. Out of three times
at bat, he whaled three solid sin
gles. Shortstop Smith also had the
only other hit for the Pine Street
aggregation. Garverich was also
fast on the bases, pilfering two
sacks. With rttar weather every
evening during the past week, thefe
are no postponed contests, and as a
result there will be no contest thirf
evening. Monday night the Galahads
will oppose the Rosewoods. The
