RAILROAD NEWS OF TIMELY INTEREST
SHIPPERS HEAR
OF NEW RULES
In Effect on December 10; Re
quire Cartons For Cer
tain Shipments
New rules covering express ship
ments will go into effect on December
10. Local agents are now working
at; educational campaign in order
that shippers may become thoroughly
acquainted with the new regulations.
Any information desired will be glad
ly furnished.
Under the new regulations, which
are embroidered in what is known
technically as supplement No. 5 to ex
press classification No. 36, all ship
ments sent by express weighing over
25 pounds, must be packed in wooden
containers, or cartons of fibre board,
pulp board, or corrugated straw board
material, of specified "test strengths."
This means that after December 10.
packages over the 25-pound limit will
not be accepted for forwarding by the
American Railway Express Company,
handling the express business of the
entire country as agent of the rail
road administration, if only paper
wrapped. Nor will ordinary paper
bcxes, wrapped or unwrapped, be ac
cepted as suitable protection for these
heavier shipments. The regulations,
however, do not affect shipments un
der 25 pounds.
Regular Shipper. Know Rule
Regular shippers will not be mysti
fied by the new regulations, as they
follow very closely the packing re
quirements long in vogue in the
freight service. The express regula
tions, however, allow a little more
latitude in the size of the carton use.
The enforcement of the new rules was
postponed until December 10 so that
shippers would have plenty of time
to prepare themselves for this change
in express packing standards.
It is said these new rules will not
work any hardship on shippers, but
should operate distinctly in their in
terests, as the rules will provide ad
ditional safeguards for merchandise
In transit. Moreover, they will es
tablish a uniformity of express pack
ing rules which heretofore has been
lacking. The new order does not af
fect the movement of food products
by express, which are ordinarily ship
ped in crates or barrels.

"Any good tishing round here?"
asked the v isitor of the little village

"Yes, sir," answered the boy. "You

Well, you go across the middle of the
field, and then you comes to a pond
with a notice-board wot says, 'No
finshing_ allowed."'
"Well, that's it."—Dallas News.

SAVE MANY HUMAN LIVES
IN NO ACCIDENT DRIVE;
EASTERN REGION RESULTS
New York, Nov. 3.—Many human
lives were saveil and hundreds
injuries avoided through the Na
tional Railroad Accident Prevention
Drive prosecuted by safety section
of the United States Railroad Ad
ministration on all lines from Oc
tober 18 to 31, official reports show.
In the eastern region, of which A.
T. Hardin is director and Itufus
Jarnagin safety supervisor, during
the first eight days of the "no-acci
dent drive" the total casualties were
178, as compared to 660 casualties
in the corresponding period of eight
days last year. In the eastern re
gion transportation conditions pre
sent extraordinary difficult problems
and unusual hazards to life and
limb. The safety record is made the
more impressive by the fact that,
with railroad business greatly ex
ceeding that In October, 1918, more
than 10,000 employes have been
added to the rolls of the 101 rail
roads in the eastern region in the
past twelve months.
The New York Central Railroad,
a pioneer in accident prevention, of
which P. E. Crowley is Federal
manager, showed the greatest re
duction in number of casualties,
with 83 in the eight days this year
compared with 149 for the same per
iod last year. Sixty-two of the 101
railroads in the eastern region show
ed a clear record for the eight days,
with no casualties whatever. Of the
larger railroads, the Wabash came
nearest to the perfect record, with
only one casualty, as against twenty
two casualties in the same period
last year.
Figures on Fine Results
For the nation at large, in the
first week of the accident prevention
drive, 1,389 lives were saved and 22,-
10G persons preserved from injury,
a reduction of 20 per cent, from the
casualties in the corresponding week
last year.
In the eastern region, a prelimi
nary report by Supervisor of Safety
Jarnagin covering the first eleven
days of the drive, shows only 398
accidents against 807 for the same
period last year, a decrease of 51
per cent. Ten railroads show per-

feet records, with a 100 per cent,
decrease in accidents.
At the launching of the campaign,
plans were formed to present every
possible appeal for intelligent cau
tion to railway employes, passeng
ers, autoinobilists and all persons
likely to expose themselves to dan
ger. Throughout the eastern region
a striking cartoon, showing an earn
est-faced railroad man with point
ing finger, captioned, "Don't Yjou
Get Hurt!" was widely ditributed.
Regional Director Hardin sent the
following message to all officers and
employes:
Object of Drive
"The object of the National Rail
road Accident Prevention Drive is
to operate the railroads from Octo
ber 18 to 31, 1919, with a minimum
of accidents, and especially without
injury to railroad employes. It is
the desire that each railroad strike
for a clear record. The result of
this drive depends entirely upon the
earnest, enthusiastic personal co-op
eration of every employe and offi
cer. Urge every man to get hack
of this drive and use every possible
effort to avoid getting hurt him
self, or causing injury to others, to
the end that the roads of the east
ern region may finish with a most
enviable record during these two
weeks."
Director General Walker D. Hines
issued a forceful plea saying: "I
earnestly urge all railroad officers
and employes and the public to co
operate in making it a real benefit.
This can be accomplished by every
one avoiding dangerous practices
and careless habits, and tactfully,
but positively, warning others."
The national drive just closed fol
lowed other successful sectional and
local campaigns, but was on a larg
er scale than any previously at
tempted. The good results of pre
ceding safety campaigns had been
manifested in the fact that for all
the railroads of the United States
in the first seven months of this
year, there were 1,389 less deaths
from railroad accidents and 22,106
less injuries than in the first seven
months of 1918.

E. W.SMITH IS
GIVEN PROMOTION
Former Harrisburg Man Now
Head ol Motive Power
Department
Altoona, Nov. 3. Effective to-duy
E. W. Smith is made act ng superin
tendent of motive power of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
this city, temporarily taking ' the
place of R. K. Reading, who is on
a furlough because of illness. John
J. Davis is made general foreman
of the Altoona machine shops, suc
ceeding Henry S. Solium, who be
cause of continued illness is assigned
to other duties.
Mr. Reading has ben in rather
poor health for some time and has
been on duty but little during the
past two months. It has, therefore,
been deemed wise to grunt him an
indefinite furlough and assign an
other to the duties of this respon
sible position.
Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Davis are
well known in Altoona, both having
held position in the company's serv
ice in this city in years gone by.
Mr. Davis comes here from West
Philadelphia, where he held the po
sition of general foreman of the
shops located at that point.
Record of Mr. Smitli
Mr. Smith was born September 21,
1885, and received his education in
the Virginia Polytechnic institute,
from which Institution he graduated
In 1905.
He entered the service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad as a shop
hand in the Wilmington shops on
June 14, 1905, and was appointed
a special apprentice on August 1,
1906, completing the course on Julv
26, 1909.
Since that time he has risen rap
idly and by a series of promotions to
his present assignment. On July 26,
1909, he was made an inspector in
the test department in this city,
holding this position until November
4, 1909, when he was made an in
spector in the office of the assistant
to the general manager in Philadel
phia. On September 1, 1912, he was
made foreman in the same office.
On March 12, 1913, he was again
assigned to a position in Altoona,
that of foreman in the office of the
superintendent of motive power, a
post he held for only a short time,
or until October 16 of the same
year, when he was made assistant
master mechanic at Wilmington,
Del.

bound, on the Middle division had a
[ bad shaking up and a narrow escape,
and William O. Bealor, fireman, re
. ceived injuries when the fast train
sideswiped a bulging coal car at
; Granville Saturday night. The train
. was behind schedule and was run
i ning about 70 miles an hour to make
up lost time when the accident oc
, curred.
Fireman Bealor who resides at
i 1510 North Fifth street, was given
, first aid and brought to his home in
Harrisburg. His left shoulder is
i badly bruised and cut. When the
passenger train hit the freight ear
2 3 windows in tile coaches were
broken, and the top of the air pump
on the engine was ripped off.
, One passenger, Mrs. Park Boyer,
who resides at Eewistown, received)
slight injuries to her feet. The other |
pussengers were budly frightened. 1
Weather conditions were bud and j
there was a fog which prevented a !

accident happened at 8.45 p. m.
There were ten curs on the train
and the seventh cur was the worst
damaged. •
