FREIGHT BUSINESS
CREATES SHORTAGE
OF LARGE ENGINES

Heavy freight business through
Richmond has caused the Pennsyl-
vania railroad officials to be confront
ed with a new problem, which is that
of furnishing engines to pull trains
should business continue to increase.
Handling Of cars has been placed on
an efficient basis and little car short
age is felt here, although the volume
of business passing through the city
is unprecedented, according to rail
road officials.
Every engine available has been
kept in repair and used constantly.
Many engines bringing trains here
are in the shops only long enough for
inspection and minor repairs before
being sent out again.

HUGHES STRIKES
HARDEST BLOWS
AT WAGE LAWS

FINDLAY. o., Sept. 26.-Charles 3.
Hughes opened the second day OF his
three-day whirl through Ohio today
with a fifteen-minute speech here to
several thousand farmers and work
ingmen, who were on hand when the
train bearing the presidential candi-
date, Governor Willis and Colonel
Myron T. Herrick stopped for water.
The former Justices voice was i'm
proved today, despite the strain 1t was
put to at the big meeting at Dayton,
where an old-time campaign meeting
with red fire and all the trimmings,
was staged. Two speeches at Toledo,
short addresses at Ft Clinton and
Sandusky, and a big meeting at Cleve-
land were on today's itinerary.
Hughes today continued to hammer
the Adamson eight-hour law, the anti
trust act, the government shipping
bill and other acts of the Wilson ad-
ministration.
1.-THE eight-hour bill does not de-
serve the name" he said. 1T does
not provide an eight hour day; it does
not limit the hours for the laborer.
There has been too much in the
Wilson administration Of comprehen-
sive phrases in the statues apparently
intended to mean one thing to one set
of men to get their votes and another
thing to another set Of men to allay
their fears.
"The recently enacted shipping bill
stands, not as an aid to, but as a
menace to the shipping industry of the
country"
