RAILROAD RUMBLES
READING TRAFFIC
TAXES OFFICIALS
Rutherford Yards One of Busi-
est Centers on System;
Record Sunday

Local officials of the Harrisburg
division, Philadelphia and Reading
Railway, are having their troubles in
keeping freight on the move. Their
biggest task is in preventing conges-
ton in Rutherford yards. Lack of
track facilities and motive power have
been factors in recent traffic tie-ups.
Work is advancing rapidly on the
fourteen new tracks and 1t is said they
will soon be available for service. New
freight engines are arriving almost
weekly, but even at that there has
been scarcity of motive power.
Record Freight Business
freight business at present is ex-
ceeding all expectations. On Sunday,
in order to move eastbound freight
out of Rutherford and on the main
line, every locomotive available was
pressed into service. Reports given
official publication late yesterday show
that total of $500 cars were moved
from Rutherford. OF this number
?, 100 went over the East Penn branch.
General Superintendent w. II. Kef-
fer spent Saturday and Sunday at
Rutherford with q view of infusing
new life into the men in charge of
traffic at that end of the line. and as
result there was a decided increase in
the volume of business handled.

DEN MARK.

The case against Reverend Rasmus-
sen caused quite disturbance in the
church of Denmark. He was sued on
the ground that he does not believe In
the supernatural conception and the
divinity Of Christ, but the courts exon
Grated him. The government has APP
pointed him to charge. but the bish-
ops refuse to ratify his appointment
according to law. But ii did not take
the church authorities long to find a
way out of the difficulty. The bish-
ops have agreed to ask the rigsdag to
change the law SO that it will not be
necessary for them to endorse the ap-
pointment Of a pastor who for some
reason or other is not favored byI hem.
The rigsdag is expected to comply with
the wish Of tie bishops without much
fuss.
The Aalborg Nordjylland says that
In the first year after the ending Of

celebration is to be held in the Raebild
Hills near Aalborg. The initiative Is
said to have been taken by DR.. Max
Henius Of Chicago, president Of the
Association Of Danish-Americans. Rep
resentative persons Of all countries are
to be invited. According to this ac-
count Doctor Henius is to receive
financial assistance from Henry Ford,
who Is to pay the expenses Of 1000
Americans whom he will invite to at
tend the celebration.

they got twelve times as much as they

Wife Dies When Troops Leave.

Red Oak.-Mrs. Fay Carlson, bride
of less than a year. was seized with
an attack OF hemorrhage of the brain
after receiving a letter from her hus.
band stating that he was OF for the
Mexican border with Company NJ
Third regiment.
She died few hours later. Physi'
clans say the attack was brought on
by worry over her husbands military
career.
When Carlson went to Camp Dodge
with his associates, he expected to
refuse to take the federal oath. But
when he saw that "slackers" were
scored numerically he lost his nerve
and took the oath with the other sol
diers. He did not communicate this
fact to his wife until after the call
came for Iowa troops to leave for
Mexico. It was the letter containing
this information which probably re
suited In her death.

NORWAY.

The consummation of the national
strike is a great credit to the organ
lied laborers of Norway. Two years
ago the storthing threatened to pass
a law making arbitration compulsory
in case of labor controversies. ma
tional strike was ordered as a means
of threatening the storthing. The
strike was successful. The bill was
not passed. Now a similar bill was up
again. The labor unions resorted to
the same tactics as before. But this
time they failed. The bill was passed.
As soon as this was known the strik-
ers went back to work, admitting that
they were defeated. Everything from
first to last was done in perfect order.
The laborers feel that the rich of the
country are getting richer at a speed
which almost takes the breath away
from some of them, while the laborers
are living from hand to mouth on ac-
count of the unexampled high cost of
living. Now the laborers can point to
the storthing and say: you are re-
sponsible for our starvation The tao
tics of the socialistic labor unions have
made such favorable impression up
on the great mass of the people that
1t seems not unlikely that the social
lists will control the next storthing.
Says the Socialdemokraten on this
subject: ut has been burnt into the
annals of the history of Norway that
in the critical year of f016 the Nor
wegian labor class was In combat not
only with the employers but also with
a majority of the storthing, which,
taking advantage of the situation,
passed class law against the labor
organizations"
