SERVICE TODAY
Despite Fatal Wreck Old
Coaches Likely to Be
Used for Outing.

In spite OF widespread criticism OF
the continued use Of wooden coaches
in tho excursion trains run in sections
between Washington and Atlantic City,
1t was learned at Union Station last
night that such coaches will be again
pressed into service for the Atlantic
City excursion today if the supply of
steel cars proves inadequate. The
storm of protests against this practice
was aroused by the wreck of the
Washington-Atlantic City excursion
train at Elwood, n. J.. last Sunday,
when one passenger was killed and
twenty-five injured, as wooden cars
were telescoped.
The traffic on the railroads during
the week before and the week follow
ing Labor Day. always heavy. prom
ises to be record breaking this year,
officials say. the increase having al
ready begun. Yesterday it was neces-
sary to put into service practically
every sleeping car available. and train
men say that if the supply of steel
coaches will not accommodate the de-
mands, wooden cars will again be used.
