The announcement of the curtailmcnt
of .parlor car service followed more
! sweeping changes in the schedules of
Pennsylvania trains running in and out
! of this city and in what is termed the
metropolitan Philadelphia area.
Fifty seven more trains were an
nulled, according to this announcement.
which was made last night Most of the
annullments were of trains operating in
South Jersey. and leaving the Market
street ferry, in Camden.
Altogether 1872 trains are cut from the
schedules of the three railroads enter

Today meeting of the regional coal
committee is being held and it is likely
it will result in enforcement measures
being provided for the observance of
orders issued last night by National
Fuel Administrator Garfield. tending to
conserve coal by restricting the use of
commercial power and lighting.
