bound railroad service has resulted
from the esta blishment yesterday of a
shuttle service to Washington. Four
trains made up of coaches only made
the round trip. Only passengers were
handled and these would ordinarily
have been moved on ten trains.
Return service from Washington
was provided by running the same
trains back TO Richmond since ow-
ing to the strike ahe Washington
terminal cannot undertake any
switching The trains rom Rich
mond are run into the station, and
left standing until they are ready
TO return to this city. Similar service
is said TO be IN operation between
Washington and Northern points.
Movement of mails. II was stated
at the post office is being made with
out materia delay, and post received
from the north yesterday was more

space ON the trains bringing 1t in.
Every train arriving and departing
is carrying postal matter. and the
service Is being conducted without
confusion or congestion.
