erywhere. who supply the firm regu-

VACATION RUSH
ON P. R. R. LINES
'Employes Who Expect Draft
Call Do Not Want to
Lose Time Off

Pennsylvania railroad officials may
be obliged to place a ban on vaca-
tions of some of the employees. Just
now there is big rush to get the
annual time off by clerks and en-
ployes who are desirous of getting
some pleasure before taking up war
duty.
The announcement that the draft
ing would start soon, last week
brought many requests from young
men who expect to be called to
duty A number had to be turned
down. The Pennsy at present is in
need of all the help they can get.
Usually most men prefer later In
the summer, but. If all requests are
made, the Pennsy could easily dis
pose of all vacations this month and
early in August. However. all can
not be allowed off at once and many
of those who will be conscripted will
likely miss their regular vacation
period. ..' 80.
No Vacations Cut
Reports have ben circulated here
that train dispatchers and telegraph
operators for the Pennsy will get
no vacation this year, but it was
stated that no decision had yet been
reached in this matter though it was
under discussion.
1t has been the custom for opera
tors and dispatchers to get two
weeks each year, while signalmen
got one day off each month. This
plan may yet be carried out again
this year, but, if the demand for
men is too great, the vacations may
be called off for this summer.
