purely railroad employees institu-
ton and the company only sees
that it is properly managed. He
told of how thousands of homes had
been built or bought by railroad
men who secured loans from this
department at a cost of slightly
more than three percent. He in
vited the veterans to study these
two great branches OF the service
that were essentially their own de-
partment Incidentally he empha-
sized the fact that the pensions
were not paid out of the relief.
These are paid by the company out
of its net earnings. Mr.. Dudley did
not dwell much upon dry statistics,
but spoke pleasingly along lines
that could not fail to interest his
auditors.
Another speaker who gave the
veterans considerable valuable in
formation as to the progress of eff
forts TO secure better pension fea-
ture, in which he told of confer
ences with Director General Hines,
senators and congressman, was
Grand Secretary James Wandleu,
OF Connellsville. Past President c.
H. Pennell, of Baltimore, formerly
of this city, and President Geo.
Armistead Bowers, Of the Baltimore
association, native of Martins

Y. NJ. C. A. in the good work it is do
ing in this city and stated that Sec
rotary Sayres had offered the Vet
Grams the use Of room on the sec
ond floor of the association build
ing If they would change their meet
ing night fnom Thursday to Tues
day night. Mr.. Dudley again spoke
in regard to the petitioner and
urged his hearers to help make
life worth living by kindness and
giving words of cheer to the old vet
eran. Mr.. Sturmer then explained
that former employees of the Balti-
more and Ohio, although veterans
of 20 years or more service, were
not eligible to the all-line pass.
With the singing of "Blest Be
The Tie" the session adjourned,
and as each man passed out OF the

R. R. ADMINISTRATION
WILL MAINTAIN GOOD
SERVICE TO THE END
Every Effort To Provide
Transportation.
(ey international News service.)


Washington, Jan. 23.-As the de-
mand for transportation during the
remainder of January and Febru-
airy promises to be extraordinarily
heavy for this season Of the year.
Director General Hines today gave
assurance that the railroad admin
istration proposes until the last day
of federal control of the railroads
to make every effort to meet this
demand as fully as possible. At
the same time he pointed out some
Of the limitations which are opera
tive now and which will continue to
be for some time to come upon the
performance Of full transportation
service.
This increase demand is doubt
less due largely TO the fact as re-
suit Of the secession Of industrial
activity following the signing Of
the armistice business was in abey-
ance in the spring Of 1919, as was
indicated by the fact that there
were large surplus OF cars in all
parts of the United States lying
idle during these months Mr.
Hines today said In discussing the
situation. business was again in
terfered with by the abnormal diff
fieulties due to the coal strike in
November and December. but since
then the accumulated business has
been demanding transportation wit
a rush he added.
