through Richmond on the Pennsyl.
tive Dec. 10. according to an order
received by the officials Of the road
The cut. it is understood, will take
off all local trains and make oil
through trains local, but the officials
could not give details during the day.
Announcement OF the trains which
will be withdrawn, says the order."
or the partial withdrawal of service
on others, will be made public by the
individual railroads through bulletin
boards, ticket agents. bureaus for in
formation and the press. Persons
whose business requires them to travel
should first consult ticket agents as
to the available trains after Dec. 10.
During the present emergency only
regular trains will be operated, there
will be no sections of regular trains.
neither will there be any special trains
or Sunday excursions. Parlor car
service on all the railroads in the
legion will be practically withdrawn
under the temporary schedules ap-
proved today, for the reason that the
average seating capacity of a parlor
car Is less than one half the seating
capacity Of a coach. The policy
pursued in preparing curtailment Of
passenger service has been to operate
the fewest number of trains, yet
provide Accommodations for the great
est number of passengers"

The committee Monday afternoon
passed resolution permitting res

but ruled that beyond the hours to
which other business are restricted,
they must sell food only.
1t was decided late this afternoon
that the theatfes and motion picture

cepting Sundays.
Instructions were received by T. A.
Greenstreet, agent for the C. & o. rail-
road here Monday, telling him that
he must adhere strictly to the rules of
federal fuel administrator Garfield.
Twenty-Five cars, consigned to the
city light plant, were in the local rail-
roads yards Monday morning, said J..
P. Dillon, superintendent of the plant.
Eleven cars were In the G. & o. yards,
while the Pennsylvania held IA.
However" said Dillon" according
to the order OF Mr.. Garfield, the rail-
! road can only deliver us 1 car daily.
The necessity for conservation on elec-
| trio service still exists, even If we
are to run our industries on shortened
schedule.
saturdays sendout was reduced Is
! per cent. over that of Friday. But &C.
cording to the coal allowed US we still
have greater conservation to make,
which we hope to effect by strict OBJ
servance Of the hours laid down in the
mayors proclamation.
| All Must Obey Rules.
On a rumor that unrestricted light
and power was being sold to plants
who supply other towns with light,
Dillon stated:
THAT rumor is false. The companies
to whom We are selling heat and
| power are under the same restrictions
that we here in Richmond are. If
they violate the orders issued they
make themselves subject to the discon.
| tinuance of their service"
