EXPECT HEAVY TRAVEL
Tbe Pennsylvania railroad ia anticipating a heavy passenger traffic
over ths Labor day period from Friday, Sept. 4, to Tuesday night, Sept
8. The company's operating officials
expect it to be record-breaking proportions in meeting this government
demands and the needs of tire traveling public.
Te meet the situation Vice President R. C. Morse of the Eastern; region, in a letter, asks every railroad
employe to assist in meeting the demands. The letter, addressed to all
officers and employes, says:
',Every railroad man wants to do
his pert in the war effort, particularly le the essential field of transportation, the significance and importance
is so well known to all of us.
"Members' of the Pennsylvania
railroad family can aid greatly and
in every practical way by restricting
their railroad journeys over the Labor
day itariod to those absolutely necessary for emergency purposes and to
trips to and from work. In so doling,
we dan have the aatisf action of knowing that not only have we helped our
railroad do a vital job, but have made
a real personal contribution to America's success in the war, sharing in the
sacrifices and readjustments which
all are called upon to make these
days."
