LITTLE CHANGE ON
RAIL ROADS HERE,
COMPAE|ES REPORT
P. r. r. Shops Had 130 More Out,
But Trainmcn's Ranks Were
Undisturbcd.
TRANSPORTING ALL
PERISHABLE FOOD

Conditions insofar as the railroad situa-
tion is concerned are little changed today.
Some of the three railroads report some
MEN back and other. report few more
quitting, so that the general outcome
is about the same.
Passenger trains are practically all
running and pretty much on time, but
nothing but perishable freight is being
attempted That is the condition on all
railroads. The managements of oil three
railroads entering the city said this morn
ing in reply to question regarding perish
able freight and foodstuffs, that all such
freight was being transported readily.
There is no reason to boost the price
of food and claim as a reason this railroad
strike" said the superintendent of one OF
the roads today. eve are transporting
every pound of foodstuffs that is brought
TO us, and we shall continue to do so as
long as conditions remain as they are.
As far as the situation is concerned in
regard to men, the Philadelphia d Reading
and Baltimore & Ohio roads report few
more men back on the old Jobs, with
many ION the fence" On the Pennsyl-
vania railroad there are 1870 more shop
men out locally today than yesterday,
but no more cutters among the trainmen.
According TO figures given out at the
superintendent office of the Pennsy, for
the entire Southern Grand Division, the
number of men out was about the same as
Yesterday Because OF the frequent
changes in shifts, it is impossible 20 cal
culate just how many men have quit,
except for each "a hours.
At Washington terminal conditions are
normal but at the Potomac yards the
men are quitting again. They gave as
their excuse Yesterday for walking out
because the L. S. Senate had not con-
firmed the recommendations OF the
President for the Labor Board and be-
cause Of insufficient work the yardmaster
had reduced the crews by one.
Baltimore conditions are the same as
Yesterday There is evidence of much
Red propaganda about Baltimore. ac-
cording to railroad officials and the speeches
of the men and their disregard for the
President and government-everyth
except themselves, is proving one of the
surprises TO railroad heads of this strike.
Men of the blacksmith shop in this
city today asked permission to leave for
the dav in order to attend a meeting.
The Master Mechanic at Edge Moor
asked them why they couldn't appoint q
committee and have the committee re-
port back to them the result of the meet
ing. But the majority of the men SAID they
wanted to hear for themselves and not
depend on some one else, so they were
excused for the day.

coal and raw materials but gradual hft-

the belief that relief would be speedily
forthcoming.
Efforts of sympathizers with the out
law strike to swing New England rail-
road men into the movement were con-
tinued today. Railroad officials reported
that employees within the region continued
TO refuse to leave their work

SELLING
BIGGEST CORN CROP
EVER, IS F0RET0LD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The great
est corn crop in the country's history
is in prospect for this years harvest.
Forecast of production, based on SEPT.
1 conditions, was placed at 3,131,-
100000 bushels by the department of
agriculture. Such a yield would ex'
coed by 5000, 900 bushels the previous
largest crop on record, which was in
1912. A crop of even larger proper
tons will be harvested If frosts hold
off until late and permit maturity
of much late corn now rated as OF
doubtful promise.
Tobacco also is record crop this
year and probably will exceed the best
previous production by 114,OOO,OOI
pounds Forecast of production places
this years crop at 1858, 100000
pounds.
Growing Conditions Good.
August growing conditions proved
highly beneficial to most of the coun
try's most important crops, and as a
result production forecasts generally
were higher in this report than the
forecasts of a month ago. Corn i'm
proved to the extent of 128, 100000
bushels, oats, 100000 bushels; white
potatoes, 100000; sweet potatoes
100000 bushels; tobacco, 100000,
pounds and apples, 10, 100000 bushels
Spring wheat, however, suffered {
loss of 25,000000 bushels because O.
drought, and flax lost 2,500,000 bush
els from the same cause.

FIVAZZANO, Italy, Sept. 9.-King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy today view
ed the ruin visited upon this city by
the earthquake, which Tuesday morn
ing shook northern Italy to Its
center.
He went into every quarter Of the
town and entered buildings whose
crumbling walls threatened to fall If
another tremor should come, and
talked with survivors, expressing his
profound grief over the misfortune
that had befallen them, and comforting
those who were injured
Years of war and of national stress
have aged the Italian sovereign. His
hair is much grayer than 1t was when
he first visited the front where his
troops were holding the rocky noun
tain ridges against the Austrians and
his whole figure seems to reflect the
weight of care, as well as the passing
of time. Still he retains his kindly
glance.
During his walk through the city
the King approached a stretcher on
which was lying an aged woman and
gently touched her forehead. The
woman opened her eyes and recog-
nized the gray-uniformed figure before
her as that of the monarch. Her eyes
filled with tears and she struggled to
kiss his hand, sobbing: MY little
grandsons; my little grandsons." In
quiry from Victor Emmanuel ELECTED
the information that the woman's en-
tire family with the exception Of her
self and the two small lads had been
buried in their home and killed. When
the monarch promised to look after
the children, JOY shone through the
tears in the eyes of the sufferer and
she murmured: May the Madonna
bless you. You are indeed good to
me- You are a real father to your
people"
