The most favorable situation that
has existed on the Pennsylvania Sys-
tenn AT any time since the shopmens

closed in todsy's report from al
reg ions OF the system. Consistent
and satisfactory gains were shown
u. the forces or every region The
total number OF shopmen actually
Crking on the entire system IS
42S36. an increase as compared a
week ago OF 1881. An average
week day force under normal con-
ditions would be approximately 55,-
600
The eastern region and the Al
tocna works combined have made a
net gain as compared with week
ago of 42O men actually working,
the central region has gained 746
men. the northwestern region 331
men the southwestern region 354
men
The movement OF freight during
the week just ended was the heavi-
est that has been handled on the
Pennsylvania System since the clos
ing week March last when coal
traffic was Rbnormally high i'm an
,.cipation Of the suspension in min
irg The total number OF freight
cars dispatched last week was 734.-
$40 and this total would have been
considerably larger but for the fact
that the current movement Of coal
IS only approximately one third UI
normal
From the point OF view OF on
time performance the freight move
ment last week Of arranged and
scheduled service was practically
100 per cent perfect Promptness
OF dispatching was considerably
above normal and unusually good
records were made In the return OF
empty refrigeratOrs and stock cars
IN order that the transportation %
food supplies could be maintained
uninterupteily.
Normal on time performance
was maintained in passenger service
throughout all portions Of the sys-
tenn Last week showed the heavi-
| est seashore and summer resort
traffic OF any period thus far during
the present season. the volume OF
that class of travel being approx
mately 3 per cent greater than dur
ing the corresponding week a year
ago
AT no time since the strike began

or interferred with by any develop
ments connected with the strike on
