Almost All Stations South of
Trenton Close at Seven
O'clock

With a few exceptions. stations on the
Pennsylvania Railroad south Of Tren-
ton, in New Jersey. beginning tomor-
row will be closed about : p. m. and
passengers must wait fo- trains out on
the platforms and buy tickets on the
trains. Since the war nearly all the
night station agents have been women,
and these have all been discharged.
Thus between Camp Dix and Camden
only two stations are kept open. These
are at Mount Holly and Pensauken,
where there are telegraph operators
used in the movement of trains. Towns
with 5000 and 1000 inhabitants, such as
Moorestown, Merchantville and Maple
Shade, are without station facilities
after the arrival of the late afternoon
trains.
The reason given for this change is to
effect economies. In an appeal to the
United States Senators and Representa-
tives from New Jersey the South Jer-
sey Commuters Association says:
THE closing of the stations, follow
ing on numerous other impositions on
the travelling public has all the ear
marks of Il deliberate attempt on the
part of the railroad managers TO dis
credit the national administration of
the railroads, and this association be
lleves an inquiry by the congressional
committee investigating the subject of
railroad administration will develop the
fact that large number of the changes
made by the national railroad admins
tration were prompted by the old rail-
road management, which has never
ceased to control the service in its de-
tails. Our association 10 prepared TO
present proofs that not single sugges-
ton of changes calculated to win public
approval has been made by the rail-
roads TO the national railroad admins
tration, but on the reverse every change
has been of a nature that has further
angered the travelling public and led to
a demand that the national control OF
the roads shall cease. We therefore
urge that an investigation be made as
to the source of these unpopular
changes"
