INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS
ACCIDENTS SPOIL RECORDS
IN NO-ACCIDENT CAMPAIGN;
HOPE FOR BETTER RESULTS
Records for no accidents went to
smash' yesterday on u number of
railroad lines. While still far below
last yeaj-'s records officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad had hoped to
get through the first week with low
figures. However, while deploring
yesterday's happenings, a general
opinion prevails that these accidents
will have a tendency to make em
jdoyes more careful.
At present the Philadelphia and
Middle- divisions of the Pennsy are
out as far as a clean slate is con
cerned. Three divisions are tied
for first honors in having no acci
dents. Juniata, Tyrone and Schuyl
kill. These branches are much small
er, but it is said have well organized
forces.
Clarence H. Boone, trainman em
ployed in the local yards of tho
Pennsy, last night Wits electrocuted
when he grabbed a loose wire. A
freight car had hit an electric light
pole, breaking the wires. Boone
noticed the fire flashing as the wires
hit tho track and tried to get the
wires out of the way of cars, before
giving notice. As he grasped one
of the wires Boone was hurled snme
distance.
Death Instantaneous
He was picked up and hurried to
the Harrisburg Hospital, but death
was said to have been Instantaneous.
His body wis badly burned and
charred in spots. The back of his
head and shoulders were burned to
a crisp. The index finger on his left
hand was also badly burned.
Brakeman Boone was quite popu
lar in railroad circles. Ho Mhd been
employed by the Pennsy for fifteen
years and was a member of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
Pennsylvania Railroad Relief. He
was employed on tho -3, P. m. to 11
p. m. shift and the accident
happened about 10.30 last night. A
widow, Mary E. Boone, survives.
At a meeting of the committee
heads to-day attention was called
to this accident. All committeemen
will also receive an account of the
accident. The Pennsy committees
are an army and are being drilled
daily for stronger efforts in the no
accident drive.

Coal Strike
|
j November 1
Every factory, every ship that bums coal and all
railroads, will be paralyzed if the Bituminous Coal
strikes continues three weeks.
Every householder, office building tenant, apart
ment house and hotel occupant, and all inmates of
public and semi-public institutions, will suffer be
cause stocks of coal are very low.
Buckwheat
And Pea Coal
*
The first anthracite coal to feel the effect of the strike will he
pea and buckwheat. These sizes will be demanded to take the
place of Bituminous coal.
The total coal production in the United States is approximate
ly 700,000,000 tons, of this amount 600,000,000 tons is bitu
minus. You can readily understand what will become of indus
try when six-sevenths of the total production of coal stops.
Consumers of Pea and Buckwheat should waste no time. The
country is face to face with a horrible situation.
A word of warning should be
sufficient. Place orders immedi
ately. Next week may be too late.
Remember Nov. 1 is set for the
strike.
