MERCANTILE APPRAIS- ER'S TAX LIST, "Detailed" Railroad conductors are to lose their coattails. The decree ha? gone forth from the Government authorities now in control of the railroads. All uniforms are to be cut down to the sack-coat style. No conductor will lord it through his train with the added dignity bestowed by a frock coat. Neith er will the station agents be able much longer to strut about in such finery. Purpose of the order is to save wool. There are some 11,000 passenger train con ductors in the entire United States, and possibly 1,000 other railroad employes whose get-up will be changed by the coattail less order. The net result will be to save perhaps as many yards of cloth per annum. A Great Barge Canal.
