"a NEWS OF ma
READING MAY
BUILD NEW LINE
Tests on Frackville Grade Not
Satisfactory; Must Use
Brakemen

Reading officials have found that
bringing A coal train down the
Frackville grade on the Mahanoy
division, with airbrakes alone, is
impracticable. Federal Railroad ad-
ninistration officials say the law
covering airbrakes must be carried
ont and that inspectors will insist
that all trains on the FrackFllle
line be equipped. according to law:
To rely on airbrakes alone Will
mean the employment of addiuonai
inspectors and erection or large
air plant. The Reading Eagle says:
Ever since that branch was built
all trains starting from trachNlilS
for ST. Clair have been manned
by six experienced brakemen IN
stead OF depending upon the ar
brakes
Law Requirements
"It is understood that the law re-
quires that all trains, it matters not
whether on the level or on grades,
must be handled by air. 1t Is an
easy matter to do this on the mann
line or where the grades are not
too long and steep. providing the
eouipment is in perfect condition,
which means 100 per cent. 1t ;s
contended. however. that on steep
grade like that of the Frackvlllc
branch, the crew would be running
a great risk in picking up q train
and starting down the grade with
out a thorough inspection of every
car.
THE railway officials do not dis
pute the fact that train can be
brought down the grade under the
control of the engineer, who mas
charge of the manipulation of the
airbrakes. Indeed this has been
done, but before the start was made
the brakes on every car in a train
of thirty-ive cars was examined oy
an expert.
Insist on Observing the Law
THE government officials are
aware of this, but insist that the law
must be obeyed. The Eagle was told
that if the United States authorities
persist in carrying out the instruc-
tions of the powers that be, ii may
finally result in the abandonment of
Mahanoy Plane. 1t is claimed that
if the law must be carried out to
the letter it will be necessary 10
employ a large number of expert
inspectors and erect an air plant at
Frackville. This would greatly re-
tard the movement of the coal
traffic
May Build Branch Line
There is a rumor that branch
line may be built along the north
side of Broad Mountain from GoI :
don or in the vicinity of Ashland
and pass through the valley east
of Gordon and strike the st. Clair
yard at New Castle. The distance is
seven miles. If a line through that
section would not prove feasible the
