Newspaper Page TextRAILROAD NEWS RAILROAD MEN DISCUSS MANY TRAIN TROUBLES • ' Philadelphia Division Super intendent Gets Ideas How to Prevent Detentions V ■ I WILLIAM ELMER How best to keep passenger trains on time, was the one topic that re ceived attention last night at the meeting of the Friendship and Co operative Club. The attendance was not large but the discussions were in teresting and timely. The subject was introduced by Wil liam Elmer, superintendent of the Philadelphia division, Pennsylvania railroad. He has been quite promi nent in working out this problem. Detention of trains due to rack of serviceable motive power has been a source of annoyance to officials on the main line of the Pennsy. Su perintendent Elmer has been work ing out a remedy and is not onl> doing good work on his division, hut his ideas are being worked out suc tendent Elmer said insrdlutaolouo cessfully on other branches. Super intendent Elmer, said in part: •'We are doing our very best to serve the public satisfactorily, and ihere has been some improvement, but there is still hard work ahead. We must have co-operation and in creased efficiency. I will welcome any suggestions the men may offer. Railroads Handicapped "The railroads have been handi capped because of engine short age Just now there are many extra trains and this eats up the motive power. There may be some relief when the soldier trains decrease. At times we nre obliged to use freight engines on some trains. However, what we need now is engines that will keep in service and I would like to know the best way to get them. Numerous suggestions were offer ed Ruperintender.-t Elmer by Charles J McCombs, engine dispatcher; A. W. McClellan. assistant superinten dent of the Philadelphia division: Graffus Drake, William Drake, Wil liam McClintock. passenger engi neers- P. 1.. Smith, passenger fire man: L. C. Clemsor.% retired road foreman of engines: A. L. Redmond, engineer at Enola. Change Meeting Nights One suggestion offered was to have officials connected with the various departments ride the engines and keep a record of results. Another was to have pink slips filled out by engineers, giving his own version of the. mishaps and delays. Super intendent Elmer made note of the suggestions and will work them out. It was decided at last n-ight's meet ing to meet on the last Thursday of each month, and to cut out the July and August meetings. A committee was named to prepare for a big opening in September. It is proposed to secure prominent speak ers and to have a public meeting to which employes of all branches will be invited. This committee in cludes: P. L. Smith, chairman; Charles McCombs, William R. Denehey, Wil liam McClintock, and Wellington G. Jones. This committee will act jointly with the committee on en tertainment in providing an attrac tive program. Soldiers Return to Job as Middle Division Firemen B. F. Gur.-derman, who recently returned from overseas where he served in the 79th division, has been given his old position back on the Middle division. He is a fireman and was assigned to the crew with Joseph Hunter as engineer. Fire man Gun-derman is one of the most popular young employes of the Mid dle division and will resume his du ties on Monday. Another Good Record Made in Coal Conservation Plan Inspectors along the Middle divi sion yesterday watching the big en gine. No. 3,565, haul train No. 30 east, reported a notable absence of smoke. One inspector put it, "she looked like an electric engine." There was a reason. The coal sav ing record breakers were at work, A. K. Brenncman, engineman and P. L. Smith, fireman. Traveling the 132 miles with 11 steel cars this train came to Harrisburg or, time on 165 shovels of coal, a total of 2,808 pounds.

Hershey House to Close Monday After Many Years of Service in the City With the dosing of the Hershey House next Monday night, one of the oldest hotels in the city will dis continue business. To-day the fur nishings in thirteen rooms in an ad joining building, which had been rented for hotel purposes, were dis posed of at public sale by D. U. Her shey, the present proprietor. Last night the diningroom closed, and next Monday night the bar and the hotel will close. The property' has been purchased by S. A. Greene, and it is understood that Philadel phia businessmen are bidding for the location for a store. The Hershey House was started many years ago and hi April, 1881, Harry E. Hershey, father of D. U. Hershey, first began to conduct the hotel. In 1900 his son took over the management and has been ln charge ever since. Many other hotel proprietors ln the city und vicinity are renewing their liquor licenses for the month of July, about, eighty having paid the monthly license fee to County Treasurer Mark Mumma. Early in the year five others paid fees for the entire license year, It is understood that the hotelmeu are hoping for action rescinding the war-time prohibition, at least In part, and want to be prepared to start selling intoxicants again as soon as the ban would be lifted. For that reason, it is said, the licenses are being paid. TO FIX ASSESSMENT W. F.
