PROSPERITY THE cAUs E

Serious congestion on tho railroads Of
the entire eastern United States has re-
suited IN tho late arrival Of almost every
train entering Broad Street Station and
Reading Terminal and outgoing trains are
one Of the worst "tie-ups" In tho history
of railroads has been tho result of the eN-
trennely heavy trafflc. Boston, New York,
baltimore and Warrington arc equally In
voived IN the difficult situation. and there
IL no prospect OF immediate relief.
Railroad managers say they cannot re-
member any Christmas seaHon--or any
other time--when 30 many persons we're
travelling in all directions, when there was
20 much mail 10 handle and 20 much freight
and express 10 ship. They attribute II TO
an abnormal prosperity
AZ the Reading Terminal outgoing trains
are leaving about i've minutes late, but In
coming trainB are arriving on an average
Of one hour late.
TRAINS TEN HOURS LATE
Several trnlns have been from eight 10
ten hours overdue, similar condition ex-
lists at Broad Street Station. The heavy
winds Of tho last few days have also added
70 the difficulty of operation. according to
tho dlHpatchers az both stations. The storms
through which the trains have been pass
ing have intorfored with speed. II ~ pre-
dioted, however, that conditions Will be
nearer normal tomorrow.
Ono OF those who suffered from the delay
was ex-Presidont Taft. He came 10 this
city yesterday TO attend the annual dinner
OF tho New England Society. and II took
thirty minutes for his train 10 travel from
the West Philadelphia station to Broad
street.
Commuters have felt the inconvenienoe es-
peciaIly. Residents OF Germantown for in
stance, have within the last few dayB been
using the trolleys because they were faster
than the steam trains
one of the remarkable features OF the
general rush OF business In the fact no
trouble has arisen In the local poatoffice.
Approximately 100000 packages have
been handled within few days and vlr-
tualy no delay has been reported
OF this number 100000 parcels have
been dispatched from the Twenty-second
