COAL SHORTAGE
HITS B. & M. HARD
Railroaders Speculate on Boston Fitch

Dropped.

FITCHBURG, Mass, Jan. 4.-The
Fitchburg division of the Boston g.
Maine railroad has been hard hit by the
coal shortage Railroad officials say
that unless the conditions improve
there will be substantial cut in the
passenger train service.
In railroad circles there is consider
able speculation as to what will happen
to the Boston Fitchburg passenger
trains. ID of which now operate on the
B. & NJ. daily.
The reduction in the passenger serv-
ice ordered by the government officials
in control of the railroad systems in the
country is expected to become effective

experts now making studies to de
termine what trains can be discontinued
to expedite handling of freight for the
war and navy departments.
Some of the Boston Fitchburg trains
are likely to be taken off the schedule,
| but local railroad officials have no in
timation as to which ones will be hit
1t was pointed out today that Fitch
burg, through its Boston service was
| depleted last October by the reduc
ton, has not suffered as much as other
places and that more trains to and
from Boston are being run at the pres
