Crew Cuts Consumption
of Coal in Half in the
Trip to Mountain City

Boy, page. Administrator Garfield!
A Pennsylvania railroad passenger
crew yesterday cut in half the coal
consumption on a round trip between
Harrisburg and Altoona. Approx
mately two and three-quarter tons Of
coal were used on the two trips yes
terday by this crew, including Graf
fius Drake, 1900 North Third street,
engineer, and P. L. Smith, North
Fourth street, fireman.
On train No. 13, scheduled to leave
Harrisburg at 1910 p. m, made up
yesterday of six steel cars, 213 SHOW
els of coal averaging seventeen
pounds were used. On the return
trip on train No. Is, made up of
four steel and two wooden cars, 115
shovels were used, or a total of 33S
shovels, or exactly 5,576 pounds of
bituminous coal were used on the
round trip journey of 264 miles.
The average consumption of coal
on a trip between Harrisburg and
Altoona is between 800 and 400
shovels, so railroad officials believe
this record made yesterday will stand
as one for others crews to shoot at
for some time.

OFFICIALS TALK
ON WOMEN HELP
Pennsy Heads Take Up Ques-
ton at Conference in
Philadelphia

Plans for keeping the various de-
partments of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road up to the standard were Cis
Cussed Saturday at a conference held
IN Philadelphia. Officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad met with
with James X. Linn and other men,
beIs of the Bureau of Employment.
Narious positions that women will
be able to fill were taken up.
Scarcity of help has become SO
acute that at number of terminals
conditions have reached such stage
that a definite plan is necessary Mr.
Linn was here Saturday. While he
was not in a position to state what
plan would be followed out, he in
timated that nothing definitely
would be announced until after the
new wage scale was a certainty and
the back pay in course of distribu-
tioE. He said:
Need Many Men
Male help is a scarcity. Due to
the fact that there are many gov
erament jobs now underway where
Sood wages are being paid; AMI that
munition factories and other indus
trial branches cn government worl;
are using many available men, rail-
roads are~having trouble in keeping
UP their quota of men.
"Once the wage scale is settled
believe that many employees, who
have quit railroad jobs will come
back. Just now we are employing
over 5000 women. Thus far they
are making good. There are some
branches in which women have not
been tried. Tests are being maze
and if it is found they will make
good, then we can go ahead and re-
organize the various departments
other conferences will be held and
it is probable that decision will be
reached and the new plan taken up
about June l."

Newport, Pa. May 13. - Newport

nouncement that in all probability
this town and surrounding section
Will secure the location of a string

Valley. Newport businessmen at once
got busy. A Chamber of Commerce
was formed and a delegation of three

MEN AT FRONT
French and Canadians From
Battle Lines Address Big
Patriotic Rally

The duty of all Americans to pur-
chase Thrift Stamps as we'll as any
other government security which
will aid in the successful prosecution
of the war was emphasized by Chap
lain Salvage, of the French Army
and Major Hedges, of the British
Army, at the mass meeting which

hero of the Canadian Army.

clared Chaplain Savage. "Remem-
ber, any shortage of guns on the

breasts and American blood"
Proceeding, Chaplain Savage
showed the spirit of the French
when he declared that of the 35,-
100000 population of France, 7,50O,-
900 have been modified in the
army. Not one family in France, he
declared, has gone through the war

told of the splendid spirit among the
noncom batants of France and Bel
GUM, citing it as the sort of spirit
which is needed at home to encour-
age the men at the front.
With a glowing tribute to the
manly quality of the Americans in
France, Chaplain Savage declared:
with Americas help we can win,
we must win, and we will win"
Major Hedge. a blunt soldier di-
rect from the front, did not gloss
his remarks.
wait until your casualty lists fill
every column of the page in the
newspaper, and you turn the page
and find column after column of
more casualty lists, you wont want
to talk about the war. You'll rush in
and do your part to end the reign
of terror over there"
The speaker also paid a high
tribute TO the courage of the Ameri-
cans in France. He declared that
from the ume the Word arrived InaI
America had entered the war, the

2O1,35O PENNSY
MEN BUY BONDS
Employees Are Congratulated
by President Rea For Their
Showing in Campaign

Philadelphia, May 13.-Employes
of the Pennsylvania Railroad sya-
tenn went over the top in the
Third Liberty Loan campaign in a
manner far surprising all expecta-
tions. Returns received to-day show
that 201,35O employees have sub
scribed for a total of $12.061, 900 of
the bonds. AS there are 249.795 en-
ployes in the entire PENNSYLVANIA
system, including all lines both east
and west of Pittsburgh, more than
eighty per cent. have subscribed.
Besides native-b born Americans, over
thirty different nationalities are
represented among the purchasers.
In the Second Liberty Loan, the
subscriptions among the employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad system
totaled 1884 and the amount
taken was $S,550,440. Large num-
bers who have Just subscribed to
the Third Loan are still paying in
stalments on the Second, but show
ed their patriotism by mourning the
additional obligation, which in many
cases involved genuine sacrifices.
President Samuel Rea to-day is
sued the following congratulatory
message to all persons employed
on Pennsylvania Railroad system:
The splendid response of the Of
ficers and employees of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system to the needs
of their country as shown by their
subscriptions to the Third Liberty
Loan, more than fulfilled our most
hopeful expectations. Returns re-
ceived to-day show that for the
whole system we have passed the
S12,OOO,000 mark. Altogether 2O1,-
800 persons, or more than eighty
per cent. of the 249,795 employees.
haVe subscribed, and their total sub
scrlptions aggregate S12,061,9 800.
1 offer my most sincere congrat-
ulations to all who have participated
in bringing about this noteworthy
and creditable result, and thank ev-
cry one who has bought a bond or
has induced another to do so. Es-
pecially do I commend forces who
have voluntarily worked many
hours overtime, some of them day
and night in this notable effort
which has contributed so greatly to
the cause of American patriotism"

UTILITIES CAN
USE DISCRETION
Public Service Commission
Makes Public an Important
Decision on Complaint

In deciding on a number of points
raised in a complaint filed against
the Coalport Light, Heat and Power
Company, which operates in Clear
field county, Chairman w. d. B.
Ainey, of the Public Service Com
mission, remarks that utility COM
panies may use business discretion
in regard to deposits. The commits
sion, he says, has never held that a
utility company may not make a
rule with respect to deposits dis
tinguished between those who are
financially responsible and those
who are not" He remarks that a
number of companies have such a
differentiating rule.
The opinion holds that the COM
pany should not be required, es-
specially at the present, to furnish
all day service on Sundays. II
operates in a small community and
should furnish service at the hours
needed on Sunday and twenty-four
hour service the rest of the week. II
also directs elimination of a rule by
which the company proposes to re-
lieve itself of liability for damages
to persons or property arising or re-
sulting from the use of current fol
either light or power" In another
part the opinion requires that the
company must not enforce rules
against persons who enter COM
plants and allow others who may be
delinquent, but who have not COM
planned to escape. Public conf
dence and favor are important as
SETS" it says.
Intimation is given that a general
order may be made in regard to the
interest rate on deposits made with
companies, as there is no uniformity
of practice, and the matter has been
much discussed. The opinion closes
by stating that the law does not give
the commission power to interfere
with discretion in regard to dis
