RAILROAD RUMBLES

RECORD BREAKER
Rutherford Yards Big Factor
in Handling Soft Coal
For Nations Use

Rutherford yards figured in Read
ing's big record for soft coal traf-
fic. All bituminious coal comes from
the west and is handled at Ruther-
ford.
In June the road established a new
monthly record of 2.140,440 tons. July.
however. eclipsed the former figure
by approximately so per cent. Last
month the Reading carried 2.7o0.o00
tons, a gain of close to 100000 tons
above its previous best month.
In the last three years the Read
ing has come ahead fast as a carrier
of bituminous, From official figures
the company hauled 17,412,S4S tons
in 1915. 1S.764,7S0 in 1916 and co.
1SS.791 in 1917. For the first seven
months of this year the road has
transported 10000 broadly speak
ing, compared with 11.S27,S05 for the
same period last year.
Rutherford Leads
The greater part of this tonnage
is being handled over the line be-
tween Harrisburg and Allentown. the
bulk of which originates on the Bal
timore and Ohio and Western Mary
land. For the development of this
business the company several years
ago widened its trackage on the Har-
Allentown line by construct
ing spurs at convenient intervals.
At the present time this branch
at places is a four-track line. while
no definite program is under way
for a uniform four-track system in
this section. it is understood the BIZ
tonnage ultimately will de-
mand a four-track line clear through.
National Figures
AS a national proposition, the haul
ing of bituminous the first seven
months of this year has greatly eX-
ceeded that for the corresponding
period of 1917. Figures announced
yesterday by the railroad admins
tration state that from Jan. to the
beginning of the second week of July
224.572 cars were used to carry bi-
compared with 1914 last
year. Based on the leaping figures
of the Reading. making up a national
deficit of S0,000.000 for this years
war program will rest, largely, not
upon the failure of the roads to trans
port it. but upon the family of opera
tors to get it above ground.

Sick U. S. Soldiers at
Noted French Resort

Headquarters American Troops
With the British Forces in France,
Aug. 14.-Some of the new" army
men who have fallen i'll or met with
accident in France are convalescing
in bracing air that cost seaside vis-
itors from SIS to $40 per day each be-
fore the war. They are living in a
place that was once the favorite re-
sort of royalty where a new mixed,
Anglo American hospital town of 2,-l
900 beds has sprung up on a high
and dry promontory facing the sea
and overlooking a handsome bay, a
popular bathing beach and a little
port into which picturesque fishing
smacks bring mackerel every day to
be sold at auction on the quay.
William Shorthose, son of William
the Conqueror, brought the port into
history by using it for the embarka-
ton of the forces with which he tried
in vain to wrest the throne of Eng
land from his brother, William Ru-
fus.
1t would crafty all the home
friends of these American boys to see
how they are being cared for, and
how they begin to thrive as soon as
their passing ills are conquered.

Men in Rolling Mills
Walk Out; Return When
Increase Is Explained

Two hundred employees in the
rolling mills of the local plant
of the Bethlehem Steel Company
walked out this morning because
CT slight misunderstanding of the
new wage scale which went into ef-
feet to-day. The men refused TO
return until an agreement had been
made.
After a three hour conference be-
tween officials of the plant and sew
eral representative of the workers,
most of the men returned, but sew
eral still refused to resume their
work.
Although the strike only lasted a
comparatively short tine, it caused
rluch Inconvenience throughout the
whole plant, as many of the other
departments were forced TO discon-
tinue work until the rolling mill
employees returned.
The new wage scale which was
announced last week and which
went into effect on August l gave
10 per cent increase TO all laborers
throughout the plant and a proper
uonate increase throughout the
other departments. 1t was about
this increase as it would affect the
men in the rolling mills which
caused the trouble this morning.

EVERY DOCTOR IN
NATION Is TO BE
ARMY VOLUNTEER
DIR. Edward P. Davis, of Phil
adelphia, President of
U. S. Corps

Washington, Aug. 14.-Dr. Frank
Martin, of the advisory commission
and chairman of the general med
ical board, Council of National De-
fense, yesterday announced a plan
whereby every physician in the
United States. not ineligible by rea-
son of "unprofessional conduct, NOR
al unfitness or professional inapti-
tude," will. be enrolled in the volun-
teer medical service corps, under the
council of notional defense. DR.. Ed
ward P. Davis. of Philadelphia. is
president of the corps.
The plan which has been largely
discussed by Philadelphia physicians,
is enlargement of the scope of the
corps so as TO include in its member
ship every physician not already
commissioned in the government
service. Hitherto only those who,
because OF over age, physical dis
ability, dependents or essential home
needs, were not eligible for service
in the medica. reserve corps of the
Army or Navay., were admitted.
Several Philadelphia physicians are
on the central governing board of
the corps, others were added when
the enlargement was decided on and
include, besides DR.. Davis. DR.. John
D. Mclean. vice. president of the
corps. and DR.. William Duffield
Robinson.
The object of the corps is to fill
Army, Navy and public health needs,
as we'll as civilian needs and to make
possible the most efficient conserva-
ton and use of medical resources.
Enrolment of virtually every physi-
clan in the country who will be as
signed to work in the general gov
erning board, will make this pos
sible Doctor Martin believes
President Wilson yesterday sent
a letter to Doctor Martin in which
he voiced his approval of the plan.
He said: 1t gives me and opportuni-
ty to express TO you. and through
YOU to the medical profession, my
deep appreciation of the splendid
service which the whole profession
has rendered to the nation with
great enthusiasm from the beginning
of the present emergency.
The health of the Army and the
Navy" the President concluded,
"the health of the country at large,
is due to the cooperation which the
public authorities have had from
the medical profession. The spirit
OF sacrifice and service has been
everywhere present, and the record
of the mobilization of many forces
of this great republic will contain
no case of reader response or better
service than that which the physi-
clans have rendered"
