They will be paid something from
the start and wages increased as they
j advance. He thinks that the Ameri

Traffic on the Williannpo: t t: |
North Branch railroad was held U|. j
for three hours Monday afternoon by J
a pile-up of three freight «-ars at th*- j
Muncy Valley station, and Tuesday
the wreckage had not heeii cleared
away by the crew that worked in j
cessantly since the smash at "> o'clock ;
in the afternoon. Northbound trains ;
were delayed for hours and the south
bound trains were running behind
their schedules throughout the entire ]
day ns a result of the accident.
While a freight crew was doing
some switching at the Muncy Valley
station the brakes on the cars failed
to work and box ears started down
the switch and the main track at the
same time colliding at the place
where the switch meets t'ie main
line. One freight car was toppled
over, another was hoisted into tin
air, and the third was jammed in
between the debris. The mishap oc
cured only a few minutes before the
northbound passenger train was due.
and it was necessary for them to
wait until the wreck train from
Uughesville arrived on the scene.
Word was sent to Uughesville
immediately and the wreck crew
was hurried to the station. For three
hours they worked to clear the track
and allow the passenger to pass the
wreckage. On account of the single
track system it was with difficulty
that the trains minouvercd about
the pi!e-up, and the entire switching
place at Muncy Valley*was utilized
to the greatest advantage. Tuesday
workman were busy clearing away
the debris and unloading the car
that had toppled over completely.
Damage to the the goods in the box
cars was the extent of the loss, a
none of the cars are beyond repair.
