The car will move over the Union

important stations, covering a period
from March IA to June 10.
The object of the picture is to teach
employees TIC be careful of themselves
and of each other. The safety de-

that lesson in the most effective man

best way of impressing the lesson.

BEGIN COAL TRANSPORTATION
Pennsylvania Railroad Starts Work in
H Great Lake Region.

The Pennsylvania railroad is taking
time by the forelock. On several
Great Lake ports which are served
by the Pennsylvania, there are lying
lake-going freighters which have been
tied up thru the winter, and which, as
soon as the spring opens up naviga-
ton, will start their work of coal
transportation.
The Pennsylvania finds itself COM
paratively idle, and will fill these boats
as they lie at anchor, with coal, so
that as soon as the navigation of the
lakes is possible in the spring, they
may start on their trips.
The lake coal boats are lying at
Cleveland. Erie. Ashtabula, and San
dusky. Thru the cooperation of the
shippers this plan is being carried
out for the first time this year. 1t
will enable the lake boats to move
cargoes aggregating about 100000
tons as soon as the lake ports are
again opened for shipping.
Normally, about 2S,000.O00 tons of
coal are delivered by the railroads at
the lake ports during the shipping
season. Most of the coal is destined
for Duluth for industrial uses and for
railroad fuel at interior points in the
northwest, about 200 coal boats being
engaged in the traffic. This Pennsyl-
ya.nia carries approximately 20 per
cent of the coal, principally from the
central region of the system. Under
the new arrangements, made by the
railroad with coal shippers, a great
deal of the congestion and delay at
tending the movement of coal when
the lake shipping opens, will be
avoided
