The present force of 140. men employed at the local car repair department of the Pennsylvania railroad shops la Inadequate to handle the business and It Is being steadily and aa rapidly as possible increased to meet the- demands.

ARE GETTING VIEWS A crowd of Pennsylvania railroad officials and expert photographers are touring the Western division of the Pennsylvania lines with the view of obtaining photographic scenes of the country the lines pass through. These will form part of the moving picture exhibition of that railroad at the Pacific-Panama Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. Extensive preparations are being made for this production and it is possible that Richmond will be represented.

corporations and city officials. When it is finished in 1917, it la anticipated that 8,000,000,000 passengers will ride

yearly. The present number is esti

mated at 800,000,000. To secure the adoption of some rule to curtail the abuse of the privilege of advance reservations of sleeping car accommodations is the purpose of the proposal made to the Pullman company as a result of the executive committee meeting of the Western Passenger Association. The committee wants

a plan adopted, such as a time limit, under which the reserved tickets must be called for and paid so that other passengers will not have to be turned away at the last minute. Representatives of unions composed of firemen engineers and switchmen employed on the Chicago & Western Indiana and the Belt Railway of Chicago have been called into conference with the officials of the road. The trainmen threaten to strike unless

their demands of shorter hours and increased wages are met. Isaiah Hale, safety inspector of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, has prepared a poster, and copies will be displayed in school houses along the company's lines. It calls the children's attention to the danger of walking and playing on railroad tracks. President Freeman of the International and Great Northern says that the farmers along that line have harv

ested a good wheat crop and an excellent corn crop has been made. Texas is looking forward to a 6.000,000 bale cotton crop, the largest in Its history though it is three weeks late.

BALL PLAYERS HERE

A special train bearing the Terre

Haute ball team, arrived in Richmond j early this morning from Fort Wayne. I

The party changed trains here and went on to Indianapolis, bound for

than improvements on the division's own stock. The situation has become such that every eligible man who applies is given work. A bumper crop is responsible for the increase business along the Pennsylvania lines. Trainloads of wheat are being shipped to New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and other points east of Richmond. The grain movement is v compelling the railroads to put on more cars. . . At the locomotive repair shops, the :ttrork, considering the season, is above Average. It is not phenomenal as the business in this department varies with each season. The shopmen 'though very busy, are not overrun ' '"With work, for one reason, because a . half dozen of the 6-8 consolidate typo -:xol locomotives have been used on the -' Richmond division during the last Tear. These engines can haul about 50 . per cent more than the average freight locomotive and have been of great tt help in meeting . the emergency brought on' by the grain movement.
