road the latter part of this month.

off are No. leaving Harrisburg at

Through the efforts of the Carlisle
Chamber of Commerce a basis OF ad-

accommodation trains between Har-
risburg and Carlisle will be changed
to run at about the same time as the
other trains and give practically the
same service. Both of these trains
were vital to the business interest,"
of the town and for this reason the

RAILROADS TO
GET MORE WOMEN
New Registration Makes EN-
ployment of Female
Labor Necessary

Washington, Sept. 16. 1t is eX-
pected the new registration will take
many more railroad employees. there
fore, the Railroad Administration
contemplates the employment of wo-
men almost exclusively as clerks, ac-
countants, ticket-sellers, station
agents, crossing watchmen and car
cleaners, in which jobs they can re-
lease men for the Army or for more
important work. To some extent, II
is understood. women will be employ
ed as track laborers.
Every effort will be made to guard
the safety and health of these women
workers, and it is probable that the
work of the Women in Industry Ser
vice of the Department of Labor will
be of great value in solving problems
connected with their employment
Women will be paid the same as men
for the same work. English and
French railroads were long ago COM
PEELED to hire women for railroad
work on an extensive scale. In France
the women even act as firemen on To-
comotives.
There are training schools for wp-
men ticket agents in several large
cities already, where young women
between the ages of 81 and 35 years
are given two months courses in rail
road geography and simple account
ing. They are paid $25 a month while
learning, and afterwards receive from
S65 to 5000 a month";
