PASSENGER TRAFFIC
ABNORMAL IN WEST

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Passenger traH-
fic in the middlewest and west is alb
normal, but the railroads and inter-
urbans are handling the extra traffic
without great difficulty. Added to tho
unusual Christmas travel is the holi :
day soldier traffic which has caused
some congestion on certain divisions
of individual lines.
Passenger agents here today said
that every bit Of equipment and every
available man Is being used and that
with added effort the extra business is
being handled without great loss of
time.
The situation in the middlewest diff
fers from the east in that there is a
great choice OF railroads throughout
that section, while all roads In the
east tend to center in a few large
cities. Unless there is an unusual
dumping of eastern traffic into western
Channels at the last minute, the pas
senger agents here say, there will oe
no tie up and little delay in handling
the Christmas rush expected Monday
and Tuesday.
