RAILROADS TO CONSERVE COAL Economy Is Now Slogan in All Departments; Cut Fast Freight Both the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company are saving coal, i | Announcement was made that only such departments us were necessary would be run full time. Important work will not be overlooked. Freight trains will be handled economically, i With the Christmas rush on, pref- ' erence is to be given express trains. Orders have been Issued by the Reading Railway officials to cut out all preference freight. This means that until further notice no attempt will be made to maintain a fast freight service. These trains will be run as usual, but haul full tonnage. They have been hauling from forty to fifty cars, according to the capac ity of the locomotives. These trains will be run on schedule, but no ef fort will be made to speed them. During the World War the same conditions prevailed. As a result the express company did an enormous business, and if the order to con tinue cutting out preference freight is carried out it is likely that the trade will be turned over to the express company. Many of the mer chants are now laying in their holi day goods and the local freight trade is very good. Coal Hauled The Coal and Iron Company leads slightly more than 1,300 cars of an thracite daily. Several hundred of, this number came from the storage" yards. More anthracite is now going WMt than ever before at this season of the year. During November the tonnage was greatly increased and this is likely to continue during De cember or until the miners in the soft coal fields resume work. This fuel is shipped from the Mahanoy district and is sent via Williamsport. Class For Children to Start at Railroad "Y" To-morrow evening ta 7 o'clock Religious Work Secretary Ira P.
