paign of retrenchment improvements
amounting between s5,000,000 and $S,-
100000 on the main line between Al
toona and Philadelphia are to cease
by November TO- One reason given for
the order is the labor troubles, which
restrict production at the mills, and in
turn causing a falling off of traffic on
the railroads. Another reason for the
shutting down Of the work is that 1t
is almost impossible to get the ma
terial and all work that cannot be
done this year will be taken over in
1904. The construction and equipme ent
account for next year is being pre-
pared. Upward Of s20,000,0O0 has been
estimated as the sum required. All
work which Is now under way and
which is to be stopped will be incor-
porated in the estimates for next year
