tracts made under the provisions of
the bill to July l, 1920. and providing

FREIGHT MEN Able TO
COPE WITH BIG RUSH
Sheds Arc PILED IIigh With The
Heavy Shipments From All
Points

The tremendous rush at the F., W. & 3.
freight house is well i'm hand. Business
is in no way decreasing, however, and a
large force of men continues to work day
and night unloading the long rows of cars
stil I'm the yards. The men worked all
day Sunday and this extra work helped
them TO catch up TO their regular business
standard. with the assistance OF the con-
signees the company officials do not an
ticipate any more trouble at present The
indications are that the general business
will be heavy. too, and from all direc-
tions. 1t is not confined to any special
line of trade. but the material coming I'm
Is general freight stuffs In the freight
house tho freight Is piled high on all
sides with only a narrow path for the
worl1men to operate. This is SO narrow
that two men with ordinary trucks can
not pass each other in il, and this causes
much delay in handling the freight. An
official of the company said this morning
that the note which appeared in the
Evening Journal last Saturday to the ef-
feet that consignees would greatly help
the company by removing their goods,
had a good effect. and brought many per-
sons 70 the freight house TO remove their
stock. He said also that the consienees
have shown much good will, but he hoped
they will continue to remove their goods
and sun further relieve the company.
The telephone system at the office has not
been entirely repaired yet, only one
phone being in order This greatly re
tards work. because notice can be SEM
much quicker by phone than by the regu-
lar notice.
