for western trains would be almost as direct
as at present, for they could proceed up the
Baltimore and Ohio Reading tracks to the
junction above Grard avenue bridge, over
the present Pennsylvania bridge and then,
after brief turn to the south, to the place
where the main line and the New York
tracks now meet In West Philadelphia.
BY the construction Of new bridge run
ming northwest and southeast across the
SchuElkill southern trains from the joint
terminal could reach the West Philadelphia
station within few minutes and thus be
brought into touch with the Pennsylvania
present southern and southwestern lines. in
Guiding those to Washington and Baltimore.
No new construction whatever is needed to
connect the Reading system with the single
main station The Reading Baltimore and
Ohio tracks join those of the Reading main
line and those of the Norristown division
at or near Falls of Schuylkill. BY means
of the present Richmond branch of the
Reading trains tapping or passing Wayne
Junction could join the line proceeding to
that station at point where switches now
exist near Nicetown.
BY these arrangements all but very few
stations now reached by taking a train at
the Reading Terminal would be connected
by comparatively direct route with the
Parkway -SchuyIkill terminal The only
exceptions would be Girard avenue. Column
bia avenue. Huntington street, Tioga and
Twenty second street. the last named being
on the Norristown division just northwest
OF the Sixteenth street junction. No changes
in the present Baltimore anu Ohio train
routes would be needed. The indspensabes
to this merger of transportation facilities
would be the new station itself. new bridge
nearby across the Schuylkill and the inclined
viaduct to conduct the Reading main line
tracks to the New York division of the
Pennsylvania near the rock tunnel above
the Girard avenue bridge in the East Park.
Broad Street Station, almost as formidable
an incubus and ms much of n drawback to
central municipal development as the City
Hall itself could be- eliminated The Read
ing Terminal IL deemed imperative, could be
used for some local traffic.

A plea for remedial action that will
save the woolmen of the nation from
utter ruin was laid before President
Wilson Monday by Frank II. Hagen
barth of Salt Lake City. president
Of the National Woolgrowers associa-
ton. Accompanied BY Senator Will
liam II. King, Hagenbarth visited the
White House and held long confer
ence with Secretary Tumulty. A
brief presenting the situation con-
fronting the woolmen and pointing
out the necessity for drastic action
was left with Tumulty and will be laid
before the president Hagcnbarth has
convinced some leaders Of the senate
and house that nothing less than a
hard and fast cdict shutting off all
importation of wool and wooden goods
until conditions are stabilized i'm this
country will save the growers. Breed
ing herds are being liquidatcd az an
amazing rate and unless this is halted
Il will require almost a generation to
bring the wool industry back to its
normal pre-war standard.

Following conferences today between

been decided that the house ways and

atiy6 in framing the bin 10 grant re-

consideration bills proposing an em-

may be brought forward.
While considering the various bills
an attempt will be made TO canvass
sentiment in the house of represents
tiyes TO determine what plan is most

Il should be found the house would
consent to the passage of an embargo
bill, that plan will be embodied in a

an embargo bill is revenue legislation
