Of the Union Station, $500 tickets,
which is the limit sold, had been pur-
chased.
Railroad officials here said that the
injured in the big majority of cases
were slight. The several cases OF in
juries to knees, they said, probably
was due to the people being thrown
against the seats in front OF them.
Many persons on the train were suf-
fering from shock, but it was said
that after the first few minutes there
was no panic of any sort.
Many Were War Workers.
Scores OF those on the Atlantic City
