ALL NEWS OF T PENNSY FREIGHT RECORDS SOAR Car Movement in Spite of the Embargoes Is Above Norma] Based on the amount of low-grade freight passing special observation points on the lines of the Pennsylva nia railroad, all freight records for i this system have been smashed into j smithereens in the press of the tre- i mendous amount of war material j moving toward Atlantic seaboard I rities. At Columbia a total of 9,173 carl passed east and westbound last Sun- j (lay. The day previous established j a record of 8,813 cars, compared with j the former mark of 8,7.91 cars on Oc- | tobcr 31, 1915. In the whole period covering the , first half of May a daily average of j 7.568 cars passed Colupibia. This exceeds by 357 cars the best previous record ever shown for one entire month, that of May, 1917, when the daily average movement was 7,511 cars.

Dear Brother: You of course have seen the ma lignant assaults made upon me by my opponent for the nomination for Congress, which are as venemous as| they are untruthful. Nothing can be more absur dand foolish than to charge me with being unpatrl- I otic. It might as well be said that ] 1 have forgotten my love for my | dead and sajnted mother and living | Lhildren. My opponent being an old] bachelor seems to be pevish and has ! a grouch because things are not go- I ing his way. lam sorry he refuses | lo be like other men and join some' fraternal and patriotic orders. The j milk of human kindness would flow i more freely through his system ifj he did, and it is to be regretted that i he refused to join our Order and ; evidently has no sympathy for our! work, for when the Huntingdon Camp No. 321, P. O. S. A., was or-I ganized, he did not even acknowl- ; edge the card sent him by the secre- j tary. But we will pass up all this poli- ! tics and call your attention to the • work ahead, which is suggested in ; the following letter just received from our State Secretary: PPATRIOTIC ORDER SONS OF j AMERICA office of the State Secretary 1317 North Broad Street Philadelphia, Pa., May 13, 1918. Honorable B. K. Focht, House Office Building. Washington. D. C. bear Brother Focht: 1 am returning the letters sent ] me regarding the importing of Chi- | nose and Japanese labor into the ! countryWtnd desire on behalf of our j order to commend you on your stand j on these patriotic measures. I will j treat in confidence the identity of | the gentleman who wrote, and I! promise you that we will take some! steps in the near future on same. Thank you again for your support! on all things patriotic. I trust you I will become the candidate on the | Republican ticket from your dis trict again, and I have enough confi dence in the voters of your counties to believe that they will return you tr. Congress next November. May God richly bless you. Fraternally yours, C. B. HELMS, State Sec'y. Fraternally yours, BENJAMIN K.

On Middle Division At Lewlatown Junction, on the main line between Harrisburg and Altoona, antother Important observa tion point, the daily average number of freight cars passing in both di-. rectlons was 6,812. This compares with 6,267 cars In the same period of 1917, with 6,402 in 1916. with 5,232 In 1915. with 4,954 in 1914, with 5,879 in 1913 and with 5,684 In 1912. j The differences in the figures I shown for Lewistown Junction and j Columbia are due to the fact that at | the latter point the passing traffic in ! eluded not only that originating on | the main line branches and connec ; tions west of Harrisburg, but also the western traffic received via Erie I and Buffalo, which meets the main line at Harrisburg. War Troubles ' While the total car movement thus 1 far this month has been the heaviest ever known, the trend of traffic on the Pennsylvania railroad has be come exceedingly unbalanced, due to conditions arising out of the war. Under normal conditions preceding the war approximately sixty per cent, of the freight handled on the main line was eastbound and forty per cent, westbound, j At the present time, however, an] ! overwhelming proportion of the to ' tal movement of freight is east | bound. This is due to the fact that I exports, especially of munitions, have enormously increased, as have also the shipments of raw materials I to the w - ar industries of the East. At : the same time, Import traffic has j ceased almost altogether, the ships j arriving at Atlantic ports from Eu rope being nearly empty. Railroad Notes J. B. Warrington, superintendent of the Philadelphia division of the 1 Reading, has been made assistant j to Railroad Regional Director A. H. Smith in New York City.
