WEDNESDAY EVENING,
RAILROAD NEWS
CALL ATTENTION
TO BAD RECORDS
Middle Division Superintend
ent Says Too Many Break
downs Occur
Enginemen employed on the Mid
dle division of the Pennsylvania
railroad have been warned regard
ing too many break downs. In a
statement published yesterday, J. C.
Johnson, superintendent, calls at
tention to records made during Au
gust, which he says is interesting,
but is not pleased with the break
downs. He says:
"The statement of the record of
freight enginemen during the month
of August, 1919, shows that 3,184
trips were made and 7.6 per cent, of
these trips had engine trouble, 2.6
per cent, train trouble, and it was
necessary to relieve 5.3 per cent, on
account of the sixtcen-hour law.
Make Close Study
"Those who are continuously hav
ing all kinds of trouble should get a
good lesson from a close study of
this record. The engine house peo
ple also have a lesson to learn —7.6
per cent, of the freight engines fall
ing on the road in one month is
entirely too high. Investigation as
to cause for these failures develops
that at least 90 per cent, of them
are due to repairs not being prop
erly made."
The bulletin concludes with the
statement that it is believed by
Pennsy officials that this record can
be improved upon.
Veterans on Reading to
Be Placed on Honor Roll
The following Reading Railway
employes were placed on the pen
sion roll: Kimber C. Weiss, engineer.

State Troops Are
Called Out Because
Phone Girls Strike!
By Associated Press.
Drumriglit, 0k1n... Sept. 24.
Six companies of State troops are
on their way here because of rumors
of rioting which originated last
night in neighboring towns after
telephone service failed because of
a strike of nineteen switchboard
girls. There were no deaths, no
hospital cases and no property
damage.
What happened was this: Th®
girls demanding a minimum wage of
$lO a week walked out yesterday to
emphasize their position. Consider
able feeling developed in the com
munity and tliere was some disorder
in the course of which two harmless
shots were tired.
