SOUTHERN CLERKS
TO VISIT ''HOME"
Railway to Run Special to
Bring Workers Back From
Atlanta Tonight.

AS reward for loyalty in transferring
themselves to Atlanta last Fall, the
Southern Railway Co. is acting the role
of Santa Claus for approximately TOO
former clerks of its Washington offices
who are returning here tomorrow morn
ing on two special trains to spend
Christmas in the place they still regard
as "home, sweet home" To make their
home coming really worth while, the
Atlanta offices will not reopen until
Thursday morning thereby giving the
former Washingtonians an extra day OF
leave.
Several weeks ago applications for
passes from Atlanta began to filter
into the washington offices from exiled
clerks who were beginning to feel the
pangs of inconsistencies with the ap-
proach of Christmas. So Southern Oh
ficials here held conference. They
made inquiries to determine how many
of the 1,1OO clerks who had left here
last October desired to return home for
the HOLIDAYS and favorable responses
were received from fully TOO Of them.
owing to the Christmas rush Pull
man cars were not available to form
SO large special so the Southern Of
ficials arranged for 18 firSt-class day
coaches, with dining cars, to convey the
exiles home. To make the trip as COM
Portable as possible each car Will be
filled to only half its capacity.
Then came the problem OF day or
night trip, and when put to vote OF
the Atlanta employees, they agreed prac-
tically unanimously that they would
rather travel by night to avail them
selves of an extra day in Washington
So the Santa Claus special Will leave
Atlanta at z o'clock tonight, arriving
in Union Station tomorrow morning
about 1880 o'clock.
Like their day of departure, the hour
of the home coming will find a large
group of relatives and friends to greet
their arrival.
"Such loyalty to the company as these
men and women displayed in being
willing to leave their homes In Wash
ington Is worth being recognized" a
Southern official said today. I'VE felt
it would make their Christmas happier
II they could return home. They
haven't been in Atlanta long enough yet
to call it home and the company felt
everybody would be happier for home
coming Christmas"
The departure of the TOO clerks would
so cripple the Atlanta force that South
ern officials decided to give the clerks
an additional day. The returning trains
will leave Washington early Wednesday
morning, the day after Christmas, and
are due to reach Atlanta about l0:30
o'clock in the evening.
