Employment on the Pennsylvania.

A new plan for handling employment applications Is being put into effect by the Pennsylvania railroad, by which every one of the 1,500 station! agents on the lines East will becomer an employment agent. The purpose is to encourage a greater number of men who live in the vicinity of the company’s lines and> shops to enter the service. The policy of the railroad has been so far as possible to offer the first opportunities for work to people.who are its neighbors. Believing that many men In thft towns, villages and cities through which the lines pass would be glad to enter the railroad service If they only knew how to apply, the new plan haa been devised to make it easy to ascertain wjiat lines of service are open and in what localities work may ba obtained. ‘
