fifty car inspectors at Fort Wayne to
take up matters and methods incl
dental to the service recently was over
the Richmond division Saturday. The
new rules of interchange Of cars, rem
dered necessary by the big volume OF
business in army cantonment, and
grain and lumber movements, have
been explained for the proper move |
ment of cars at all junction points.
Incidental to this movement for
efficiency, it may be stated that tenn
porary embargo was put into effect
at Chicago on all freight east, govern
ment freight and perishable freight ex
cepted, a few days ago in order that
the scarcity of cars may be met in
probably weeks time.
Shippers were warned q week ago
regarding the volume Of business Incl
dental to October and the necessity OF
getting in their merchandise. A like
embargo was placed because of the
same scarcity at the transfer junction
at Alliance, o., week ago.

ployes by giving medical and surgical
aid to those afflicted with stubborn
diseases, was shown Saturday when
