MUST MOVE COAL
That's the Most Essential Job
- Before Railroads Now.
Pennsy Seeks Cooperation of
Officials and Shippers.

Instructions to take Immediate
measures with a view to enltsting the
cooperation of all shippers and re-
ceivers of freight, on the Pennsylvania
Railway system, in getting more work
out of each coal car than was ever
before thought possible, have been
issued by General w. w. Atterbury,
vice president in charge of operation.
The appeal is based upon the urgency
of the situation arising out of the coal
shortage. and the approach Of winter.
General Atterbury has addressed the
following directions Jointly to the four
regional vice presidents of the Penn
sylvania system, lisf1a Lee, philadei-
phia, Eastern region; ]. A. McCrea,
Pittsburgh, Central region; J. G. Rod
gers, Chicago, Northwestern region;
Benjamin McKeen, st. Louis, South
western region:
Is Most Essential Job Now.
with the resumption of mining in
both the bituFninous and anthracite
fields, the most essential work ahead
on our railroad is that of moving coal.
| LAS a vital part of our plans, wish
bach of you to take at once what
ever steps are required to impress
upon our patrons, in your respective
regions, the urgency of the situation,
and, particularly, the absolute neces-
sity for loading and unloading coal
cars with the greatest possible prompt
ness.
1--WE are faced with the most seri-
Gus coal shortage in the country's his
tory To avert or minimize wide
spread suffering and loss, we must
make up as much of the shortage as
possible before winter sets in.
Goal cars must be kept moving to
and from the mines faster than ever
before. We must get more service out
of every car than has ever before been
attempted. To make success possible,
loading and unloading must be done in
absolute minimum time and everyone
using coal equipment must be made
to realize the moral duty of releas-
ing the cars as swiftly as possible. in
order that they may be returned to
the mines for more coal with the least
possible delay.
II am confident that when the vital
importance of this matter is made
clear to our patrons, we shall receive
their full support and cooperation"
