CAR REPAIR SHOP
VERY BUSY PLACE
Increases to the Working
Force Being Made AS
Rapidly AS Possible.

The present force of 140. men en-
ployed at the local car repair depart
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad
shops is inadequate to handle the
business and it is being steadily and
as rapidly as possible increased to
meet the. demands. The car depart
ment Is vertically swamped with re-
pair work on freight cars. The in
creased repair work is due for the
most part to the Richmond divisions
assistance to other divisions, rather
than improvements on the division
own stock. The situation has become
such that every eligible man who ap-
plies is given work.
A bumper crop is responsible for
the increase business along the Penn
sylvania lines. Trainloads of wheat are
being shipped to New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati and other points east
of Richmond. The grain movement is
compelling the railroads to put on
more cars.
At the locomotive repair shops, the
work, considering the season, is above
average. 1t is not phenomenal as the
business in this department varies
with each season. The shopmen
though very busy, are not overrun
with work, for one reason, because a
half dozen of the 6-8 consolidate type
sOf locomotives have been used on the
Richmond division during the last
year. These engines can haul about 50
per cent more than the average freight
locomotive and have been of great
help in meeting the emergency
brought on by the grain movement.

that s,ooo,oo0,ooo passengers viii ride
yearly. The present number is esti-

To secure the adoption of some rule
