Columbia Women Are
Active in War Relief

Columbia. Jan. 25.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Women's Relief
Association, which is made up of
the wives and female members of
the families of railroaders, has now
siXty-nine members in the local
branch, and these are actively en-
gagged in work on hospital supplies.
This membership is connected with
the column at Lancaster and COM
prises large portion of the local
organization.
The Columbia members held a
meeting at the home of Mrs. William
]. Strickler, and selected as heads of
the division, Mrs Daniel Hook and
Mrs. KinZer Haughey. Mrs. Strick-
Ter was chosen secretary.
Owing to the inclement weather,
all the members could not be pres
ent and it was decided to hold an
other next Tuesday at the same
place.
AS soon as the Columbia contin-
gent can enroll 100 members a sep
arate column will be formed to con-
tinue in cooperation with the Lam
caster division, of which Mrs. J. w.
Nelson is the head. Her husband
was formerly prominently connected
with the Pennsylvania railroad at
Altoona. For the present the Co.
lumbia ladies will continue to make

Plain Glass Goggles Only
on N. & w. Railroad

Hagerstown. Jan. 25.-Use of col
ored goggles by trainmen while on
duty has been prohibited by the
Norfolk and Western. for fear that
such use may interfere seriously with
the distinguishing of proper color
and distance of signals.
1t has been explained by the COM
pany that the use of green, blue,
yellow or any other colored google
may cause the person wearing it to
mistake the color of a particular
signal. Such a mistake might re-
suit in a serious wreck and the con-
sequent loss of hundreds of lives.
Plain glass goggles may be used,
provided the employe passes the eye
sight examination with the goggles
which he intends to use.
The use of such is common among
the trainmen. Cinders and dust
from the smokestack of an engine
are constantly being blown back in
the faces of brakemen and 1t Is
necessary that they have some pro-
lection from the small particles for
eign to- the eye.

DR., Prugh. in an address before the

excellent chance of electing a state
legislature next fall that would ratjfy
the Federal amendment"

day, us moving forward with rapid
strides. The past year has been the
most eventful one in the history of
the movement probably" Speaking
of the attitude of his party in the
coming elections, he said: SI would
not pretend to speak for individual
legislative districts. The Prohibition
lists DO not recognize the boss system
we are independent folk. But one
characteristic has always been evil
dent-we have always been ready to
stand for and unite in any effort that
promised the securing of the thing
that gave us being prohibition. I
Rave no doubt our party throughout
the state Will be found ready to CO.

ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.
Big Increase at Altoona
in p. R. r. Monthly Payroll

The monthly payroll of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company at AL
toona has increased fifty per cent.
in four years, according to figures
procured from an official source, and
the company is paying out each
month S1,500,000.
These facts are advanced as
showing the stability of the railroad
industry in Altoona, and also that
the workers have shared in the
profits and additional income
brought about by war conditions.
In 1917 the sum of $1S,120,1 14S
was received by the employees, as
against $11,764.74O in 1914.
The number of employees has in
creased in proportion as has their
individual earnings. In 1914 but
1926 men were employed in strict
ly shop positions, and they received
S9,264,74O. 'or an average per day
per man of s2.63, or $6S.35 monthly.
Last year 12,94S shopmen received
$1S,920,14S in wages, or a daily av-
erage of SS.44 per man, or $3.50
monthly.
All the shops are working full
time, and a large percentage of the
men are putting in overtime.

RAILROADS TELL
ABOUT EMBARGO
Official Orders Received Last
Night; Gains by Cutting
Passenger Service

Officials of the pennsylvania, the
Reading and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroads last night received
through Regional Director A. H.
Smith, of New York, the government
embargo order which will prevent
the acceptance of all freight other
than few specified commodities, in
order to facilitate the movement of
coal, the return of empty cars to in
land points and the clearing up of
the general freight congestion. 1t is
not expected here that the embargo
will be long continued nor that bust
ness interests affected will be sub
jected to serious inconvenience.
The Pennsylvania last night issued
to all of its lines east Pittsburgh
and Erie the following notice, which
includes the list of exceptions:
What Embargo Means
The new embargo covers both
carload and less than carload ship
ments, and forbids, until further no
tce, acceptance of any freight for
all points on or reached via the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad lines east of
Pittsburgh and Erie. with the follow
ing exceptions: Livestock, food
stuifs for human consumption, coal
and coke, oil for fuel, limestone for
furnace use, dolomite, canister, fire
clay and fire brick for furnace use,
railroad supplies for the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, and such war munitions
and war supplies as are specifically
approved by the War Department.
Gains BY Passenger Cuts
The local railroads, having made
extensive cuts in passenger train
service and taken steps to augment
their freight hauling facilities since
January l, are prepared to put to the
best possible use of the opportunity
provided by the embargo ordered by
Director General McAdoo. On the
Pennsylvania railroad, for instance,
many locomotives and train crews
have been made available for moving
the lighter forms of freight through
the elimination of 104 week day and
81 Sunday passenger trains.
The following economies in mo-
tive power and man-power have been
achieved:
Locomotives saved per day, 2; To-
comotive crews saved per day, 5;
u am crews saved per uay, a, train
miles saved per day, 2,7OS.21.
Using All Engines
The locomotives which have been
saved are being used in part to re-
place others in the passenger serv-
ice, which are urgently in need of
repairs, and in part for moving
freight.
The engine and train crews saved
have been assigned to new duties in
accordance with the seniority rules
of the railroad. In most cases the
crews actually affected remain in the
passenger service, but the junior men
in the various grades of employment,
on each division, have been trans
ferred to other duties, either in the
freight train service or elsewhere in
the passenger train service Thirty
five lines of parlor and sleeping cars
We're discontinued in the general re-
duction, each parlor or sleeping car
taken off being replaced by one or
more day coaches of approximately
triple the carrying capacity.
