LITTLE DECREASE
IN TRAFFIC when
PASSENGERS CUT
Train Crews Alternate Tine
Between Ardmore and
Hugo; Time Of Restor-
ing Run is Problem.

There has been little decrease in pas
senger traffic over the Frisco division
here since the annulment of passenger
trains, 775 and 77G Thursday, according
to word received at the office Satur.
day Most people who are travelling
now are making business trips while
inconyenienced considerably they are
continuing TO go just as much as be.
fore, ID. ID. Woodall, passenger agent,
declared Saturday.
Frisco officials here are unable to
tell just how long the annulment of the
trains over the Ardmore-Hugo division
will last. The annulment order was
only temporary and its nature indicated
that the trains might be put back into
service at any time. Some authorities
seem TO think the annulment was nee
essary because OF a slump in business.
Others assert that coal shortage was
responsible for the action.
The passenger train crews. are put.
ting in equal time on the runs. Each
crew makes the trip to Ardmore every
other day instead OF every day as was
done before the annulment.
