Trolley accidents. blamed on SKIP

Rapid Transit Company contends, to a
strange mental alteration affecting the
general public.

pondering over the nature of this "aber-
ration" which cause pedestrians to walk
In front of rapidly moving trolley cars.

PROBE OVERPAY
'TORAILROAD MEN
Regional Director a n d
Manager of P. r. r. Study
Shop Records
MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED
Shopmen Said to Have Re-
ceived Extra $2,5OO,O 900
Through Mistake

Federal railroad officials today are in
~vestigating alleged overpayments of
50, 500, 900 to Pennsylvania Railroad
shopmen since the Government assumed
control Of the railroads.
The huge overpaymentS were made. Il
is said, because of u misinterpretation
or a misapplication of the rulings of the
railroad wage commission, consisting of
Secretary of the Interior Lane and will
liam r. Wilcox.
The excess wage grants were given to
piece workers. a force constituting 81
per cent Of the railroads shopmen.
When the Federal railroad officials
worked out the wages for the piece
workers under the railroad wage COM
missions ruling the error was made. 1t
is said, that resulted in overpayments.
Seek Way TO Save Money
A means to say the Government the
amount Of the overpayment is to be
formulated by c. II. Markham, regional
director for the Allegheny region and by
Elisha Lee, the Federal manager Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. These two
officials today are Investigating the mat
ter and will report their conclusions to
Washington.
Al the same time, these officials must
convince the men of the error and re-
duce' the wages in the future so that the
overpayments may be balanced with
out causing labor disorders.
Under ruling No. 81, railroad en-
ployes of the shop section early In
1917 were given an increase In
over those paid in 1915. This ruling,
in effect, increased the pay Of the per
diem men from 10 to Is per cent and
in some cases 30 per cent. ,
Tn increases, however, were to take
into account advances made between
1915 and the date in 1917 when the
rulings were handed down. At the same
time it was ordered that the piecemen
in the shops should have an increase In
their p]iecework equal to the increase
granted the per diem men.
The ruling concerning the piecework
men was misinterpreted, 1t is said. When
the percentages were worked out the
advances made between 1915 and 1917
were ]misapplied, with tho result that the
shopmen on piecework were unwittingly
receiving overpay.
The same misInterpretation as to this
ruling, 1t Is said, has been made on
other railroad systems in the Allegheny
region, which is presided over by C. II.
Markham, with offices in Broad Street
Station.

mail. The central station will be open
from 8 a. IN. until midnight, and the
substations from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m.
This plan was decided on by Thomas

the congestion of the mails experienced
during the former Christmas seasons
may be avoided this year.
So far, Mr.. Johnson said, the conges-
ton had not been encountered. Many
things have been responsible. The

Of the armistice has released a lumber
Of men who are seeking employment,
making It possible 10 employ plenty Of
help.
The postoffice in this city has hired
more thar 1900 temporary clerks to work
during the Christmas period. OF this
number there are many discharged sol
diers, some Of them still in uniform.
Preference is given to men having hon.
orable discharges.
The normal number of parcel post
packages handled through the postoffice
here is about $4,000 daily. Yesterday
nearly 10000 pieces w-re forwarded.
Mr.. johnson expects today will show the
heaviest mails so far.
The fleet of 14O delivery trucks has
been increased to $50. A large number
of horse-drawn vehicles have been added
to facilitate deliveries.
From overseas the favored Christmas
gifts seem to be captured German tro-

THIEVES REMOVE HEAVY SAFE
Muscular Criminals Then Pry 1t
Open for $500

Several strenuous robbers broke Into
the Acme Teal Company store at Ninth
street and Oak Lane avenue early today,
and after carrying a heavy safe several
hundred feet from the store broke II
open with a crowbar and stole $500. '
The men gained entrance through a
rear door. They first dropped the safe
from a window to save time and then
dragged It to the spot where 1t was
opened.
The police believe several men were
concerned In the robbery because OF
many footprints near the scene.
