verify anything experienced In years.
Everywhere railroad traffic Is delayed,

early In the afternoon. when the largest
houses in The city, employing thousands
of employees. sent home many OF those
who lived far away or out of town. This
was true particularly in the largest de-
partment stores. employing many women
