16 RAILROAD RUMBLES KEYSTONE LODGE WILL CELEBRATE Organization of Trainmen 34 Years Old; Anniversary Sunday Afternoon In observance of its thirty-fourth birthday, Keystone lrf>dge. No. 42. Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, will celebrate at White's Hall. Ver beke and James streets, next Sunday afternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock. Be sides a musical program, there will be addresses by the Rev. Dr. J. Brad ley Markward, pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church; E. J. Stackpole, and Sergeant John Blake. Keystone Lodge has the honor of being the oldest in the state. The committee on arrangements consists of W. T. Patrick. D. H. Zorger and M. T. Robinson. The only living charter members of the lodge are Thomas J. Sweeneey and Thomas Kllpatrick. Interesting facts and fig tires concverning the history of the lodge will be read at the celebration, which is expected to be largely at tended. Crews Move 23,000 Cars in 72 Hours Moving a total of 23,516 carts with- , in a .seventy-two-hour period is the record of freight movement over the Middle Division since midnight, Sat urdoay, and continuing until midnight Tuesday, a total of ever 7,600 being moved daily. While Sunday proved the banner day in the fwreight movement over the division, the record for each day has been unusually good, with Su perintendent J. C. Johnson, of the di vision, urging the train crews to a record of 10.000 cars each twenty-four hours. Delays in car movement are es pecially costly at this time, the di vision being unusually short on suf ficient crews to handle the increased work and the layoff of members of the present force greatly cripples the movement. At present the division extra crews are few. with every extra man being in daily use. One minute's time lost in handling carts results in the delay to an aver age of twelve cars. Clerks Expecting to Hear of Raise Soon Scores of Pennsy clerk's in various offices of the company in this city an<l other points are patiently await ing the announcement concerning the expected adjustment in their earnings, which was supposedly lo have been made September 15. Humors and reports are heard daily by the employes, but as yet nothing of a definite nature has been received. Officials have been mak ing visits to Philadelphia headquar ters, it is stated, in connection with the matter, during the last month. Clerks are hoping to be rated from $ll3 to $l5O for twenty-six days' work, on an eight-hour basis, and time and half time for working on Sunday, holidays and overtime. They expect the raise to be dated from January 1, this year, it is stat ed; but conditions of the anticipated increase have not been hinted at and all thus far is merely conjecture.

There Is great congestion at Duluth, Minneapolis, St. Paul, .Milwaukee, St. Louis, Peoria, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Omaha and Council Bluffs. The conditions are so serious that, in addition to the immense stocks in the visible supply, it is estimated there are 20,000 cars held on the railroads in addition, or approxi-. mately 25.000,000 bushels and about 13,000,000 bushels en route. This immense stock is largely of wheat. It is claimed there is a vast visible supply in country and mill elevators, the stocks there being proportionate ly as large as. if not larger, than the regular visible supply.
