Union Station Turns

Arrivals and Departures by Train From
National Capital Now Number $4,000
Daily-Increase Is LARGE

I q reservation Is wanted on . Pullman
leaving some other point than WASH
ington, the station will obtain It by
wire.
So experienced are the information
and reservation clerks that often they
can give the requested information
without consulting time tables or rate
books. When there has been = change
OF schedules or rates, however, they
are directed not to rely on memory.
This was true, for instance, when day.
light saving time became effective II,
numerous Eastern cities served by
railroads out Of Washington.
The longest ticket ever sold ut Union
Station within the memory OF employees
in the station ticket once was Z
round-the-world ticket, paid for in
cash. 1t included boat tickets, Of course,
and coupons for rail travel abroad.
This rare incident occurred about 20
years ago. Just recently 4 ticket to
Mexico City was sold at Union Station,
but this was said to be a not uncom-
mon occurrence.
1t is rare these days, according to
railroad men, for traveller to be un-
able to secure the desired Pullman
reservation. He may not get the lower
he wants IN the middle of the car, but
he'll usually manage to get some kind
OF Pullman accommodation on the
train on which he is planning to travel.
That is, unless he waits until the very
last minute.
When it is foreseen that q train is
filling up, provision can be made
quickly for the addition of extra cars
and Pullmans. Around Christmas
time, as many as 100 extra cars 4 day
were being put on trains leaving
Union Station. Now this number has
dropped to an average of Is or 20.
There is said to be more train serv-
ice out Of Washington for the East,
West and South than ever before. It
is likewise believed by railroad men
that trains using Union Station repre-
sent the most modern development in
this type OF transportation equipment.
They are among the best and fastest
IN the country is the claim.
In speaking OF themselves and their
duties. Union Station forces are care
ful to omit anything that might be
construed as not wholly impartial to
all the railroads which the station
serves.

In our social environment on the

buildings arise. Businesses come

what will the Negro do in this proc
ess of development? Will he wait
until everything is completed and
then attempt to do something? The
time to plan and to think is now. ,
The only thing lacking with poor
people and Negroes is that they are
void of economic security. Eco
nomic security is gained by coop
eratively owning and controlling
the things we need in this world.
From a business angle, the.
Negroes of the Twin Cities should
