tion as means Of saving coat and to

Steps to save coal in the central
western and western regions by the
elimination of fast trains. particularly
the Twentieth Century Limited be-
tween Chicaso and New York. win be
come effective at midnight Sunday,
Mr.. Fort explained. and an extension
of this order TO apply to crack trains
on nve-heur service between wash
ington and New York is looked for.
Continue Local Trains.
Local trains carrying passengers
between industrial cities and trains
carrying commuters from their coun-
try homes to their places Of business
in the city viii be the last to be cur
tailed. Mr.. Fort said. The necessity for
frequent local train service between
Baltimore and Washington was point
ed out as an example of the need TOR
this service.
The order. when issued. will mean
the elimination of the Congressional
Limited and other fast trains be-
tween Washington and New York,
crack trains connecting at Pittsburgh
with trains for the west and certain
have already been issued to railroad
companies operating special trains be-
tween New York and Palm Beach at
this season, that these trains are un-
necessary and that such service shall
not be inaugurated for the present at
least.
Expect Slower Service.
The order .cuEtaiIing train service
between Washington and the places
named. when issued, will not mean
an actual hardship to travellers. it was
explained, but will simply mean that
slower service must be expected.
Elimination of these fast trains would
mean that the freight trains carrying
coal. and the local passenger trains,
will be greatly speeded up. and that
coal win be more quickly delivered to
the consumer.
Communication trains between Wash
ington and Baltimore are absolutely
necessary to conduct business, il was
explained, between the two Cities, and
will be the last to be curtailed in any
WAY
