TO INCREASE RUNNING
TIME on WESTERN ROADS
All Lines Take Same Action as Rock

Frisco.

The change on the Rock Island road
in increasing the running time from
Chicago west. which goes into effect
June 9. will he duplicated by all other
western roads. Slower time will be
made after that date all the way to
San Francisco. The change will in
crease the time between Chicago and
Omaha about two hours ana from Chi
cago to Kansas City another hour will
be added To the time. Between Chicago
and Denver the running time Will be
32 hours. an increase Of four hours and
n half over the present time. From
St. Louis to Denver was the hardest
problem that the Western association
had to deal with in rearranging the
schedule. 4 compromise was made
there and the time will be increased
only one hour. The time from Chicago
to San Francisco is yet to be adjusted.
but it is likely that this time will be
considerably increased The reason
given out for these changes is that
while the present time is not too great
for safety, it is for the maintenance of
the service and the economical opera
tion of the roads.
