TIE-UP WORSE THAN EYER
Railroads almost Uncble to Handle
Returning Vacation Rush.

With the possible exception Of last Saturday and
Monday, when passengers either went away or
were returning from the Labor Day holidays. con-
ditOns at the Grand Central Station were worse
yesterday than they have been In the memory OF
the Oldest employees The railroads were not only
absolutely unable TO handle passengers on incoming
trains anywhere near time. but even outgoing
trains starting from the terminal were away oehlha
time. AS for the handling OF baggage, yesterday
scored probably one Of the worst failures OF bag
gagemen that the New York Central and New
York New Haven & Hartford have ever eneoun-
tered.
II has been a frequent occurrence for baggage 10
be piled high along the cOncourse. where the m
coming trains arrive. but to have passengers DE-
barking from trains forced 10 walk IN single NE
along long lines OF trunks. which stood like rows
of gigantic cornstalks in their pathway, was
new experience for travellers. Along several OF
the walks leading 20 the concourse baggage was
piled higher than the talleSt man.
One Of the advanced for the unusuai
failure to handle baggage is the unprecedented re-
Of New Workers Labor Day, and IN fact'
every day since then The return OF people VINO
have spent the summer in the Catskills and the
AdrOndaCks yesterday was also reason Tor the
heaps Of baggage. The express companies were
absolutely unable 10 handle II. One or the officials
said -
I'VE are doing all we can. but totally unable
to handle this enormous amount OF baggage we
il and sure that II has never
been as bad before IL II keeps like this the
baggage will pile up until we will have to put II
the roof
OficiaIs Of the roads said yesterday that they
hoped that the unusual conditions would be ended
within day two and the trains get back 10
scheduled time.
