VACAT|ON|STS RUSH
BACK TO CAPITAL
Likelihood of Railroad Strike
Thought To Be Cause Of
Early Return.

Today marks the beginning Of the
rush OF homewardbound Washing
tonians returning from vacations at
the seashores and the many inland
mountain resorts.
Officials at the Union Station state
today that the inhux of homeward-
bound vacationists has begun a little
early. Usually the rush begins about
Labor Day and continues until the
middle of September.
The threatened railroad strike has
been given by certain Washington
Terminal officials as the reason for the
early return OF those who have spent
the summer out Of Washington. Al
though slight, there Is a marked in
crease In the number who are return
ing at this time Of year instead OF fin
ishing the vacation period.
Although there are many returning
today, there are still lot more to come
according to an official at the station.
and the gigantic task OF handling the
large amount of baggage incident with
| the return Of crowds OF travellers has
| only begun.
In Washington the handling Of the
home throng presents a greater
problem than in most cities. because.
| simultaneously with their return. the
| season starts here for fall tourists.
The Washington times., 1916-08-30

In reply to many inquiries that
have been made reEardirv the scope
of the threatened strike and to clear
up any MISUNDERSTANDING as to
whether passenger trains will be
affected, Howard Elliott, president of
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford. has issued the following state
ment showing that all classes OF
train service would be involved:
Tuesday, the President said: The
100000 men from whom the demands
proce eded had voted to strike IL their
demands were refused: the strike
was imminent; II has since been set
for the 4th Of September next. 1t af..
fects the men who. man the freight
trains on practically every railway
in the country. The freight service
throughout the United States must
stand still until their places are illed,

fill them at all
THE address Of the President will be
read more carefully and by more people
than any other statement about this
unfortunate situation. Those who have
not followed the subject carefully and
do not understand Its complexity MAJ
assume from the President Language
that q strike order will have no enect
upon passenger train service. That Ia

announces that the quarterly dividend

The May dividend was paid to s4.lSs
stockholders. the largest number Of
stockholders Of that company who ever

The decrease In the number of stock

Says Strike Would Tie

New Haven President, In Statement, Declares Walk,
out Would Bring Freight Mail, and Express
Trains to Standstill.

TO strike are all men In passenger train
service who are members Of the various
brotherhoods.
I'm the, detailed instructions issued
BY the officers OF the organizations to
the members. the irst paragraph says:
-. No man In road service involved
In the strike will perform any service

will perform no further service until
the close OF the strike. Men In other
than road service will leave the service
at the appointed time. So far as your
legal right to strike 10 concerned there
Is no difference between a mail train
and q freight train. You have identi-
cally the same right to refuse to per-
form service on a mail train as yoi
have to refuse to perform service on "A
freight train
"The public. the press. and the Con-
gress should understand clearly that
the strike order effects the men who
man the passenger. mail. milk. and ex-
press trains, Just as much as those on
the freight trains, and that these
classes of service also must stand still
until their places are hlled.

Rates Suspended
Coast to Coast Schedule Will Be
Investigated by Commerce
Commission.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
suspended increased transcontinental
rates. recently proposed by coast to
coast carriers.
The proposed schedules are suspended
to December 30. because "the rights and
privileges OF the public appear to be
inturiousiy affected by the increases.
During the period Of suspension the
commission will conduct a thorough in
vestigation of the proposed rates.
The suspension followed hearings be-
fore the suspension board Of the COM
mission. in which more than 600 trans
continental shippers were represented.
The proposed increase inu rates grew
out of the recent decision of the COM
removing certain extra" relief from
the long and short haul provision. fol-
lowing the disappearance Of water COM

NEW YORK. Aug. S0.-In a circular
letter sent out last night to their
l2.ooo employees. the New York, Sus-
Quehanna and Western and the Erie

tinuously In the service will be
placed at the head OF the respec-
tive service rosters in the order
OF their present relative position

sidered the senior employees OF the
