MOST DRASTIC CUT
 IN TRAIN SERVICE EVER UNDERTAKEN
100000 Train Miles to Be Eliminated Each Day Before End of Week,
 Is Estimated
By Associated Press

Washfngton, December 9.-Rail-
 road travellers were brought face
 te face today with the most severe
 cnrtniIment in passenger service
 that the nation ever has known.
 While on many of the eastern roads, service was reduced sharply yester- day, it was not until today that the orders of the railroad administration
 began to be felt in other parts of the country. In still other sections many trains made their last trips tonight.
 Railroad administration officials es- timated from informal reports received from regional directors that approxi- mately 100000 train miles will have been cut from the passenger schedules each day before the end of the week. The saving of fuel based on this esti- mate of the reduction in the service, was plaeed as abouA 1sNaa0 tons C day Fxhaustsye study Is being made So ass certain whether additional curtailment can be effected without causing the public too much discomfiture.
 .. All of this reduction is necessary. of- ficials said. even though the holiday season is at hand. to check the drain on the nations rapidly dwindling coal reserve. When the strike began, the railroad administrations central coal committee had supervision over ap-
 proximately 22.O00.000 tons of coal. In the meantime however production has not reached 50 per cent on any day of the normal amount mined The railroads needs have been supplied as have the so-called essential industrials. from which it may be deduced that officials consider that the reserve stock is running low.
 While railroad administration off cials have not received details as to the identity of trains eliminated reports showed that a general revision of pas senger train service had been or would be made in every section. Luxurious trans-continental trains. hitherto run great distances without stops. are being made to do the work of locals. So- called express trains carrying only sleeping car equipment have had their time extended between terminals and coaches added. permitting the annull- ment of slower trains.
