The company had no difficulty in finding another man to take his place. The agent's salary, what with handling the express and the railroad business, amounted to not less than $100 per month, and after going out he went to pitting apricots at sixty cents a day. After the strike had been officially declared off, he sought his place again, but was politely informed that his services were not required.

Goff and As you may have read in the newspapers, the Office Defense Transportation has given the railroads authority to take train space from civilian passengers at any time make room for wounded service men. We sincerely hope that people planning trips not essentia to the war effort will cancel their plans so that more rooms be left on trains, and so make it unnecessary to take the drastic steps. We are going to take care of these wounded first. They come first with us, and we believe they come with you. But we and other railroads would dislike very much to cancel reservations at the last minute, or to make people already on trains give up their space. The invasion of Europe has started, and how great the loss of wounded will be nobody knows. We have our wound from the Pacific coming in too. And more and more cars must be taken for them from the restricted amount of equipment left after the regular military requirements are met. We cannot guarantee that if you start a trip you will able to get space returning. You must face that fact. If you away from home on a pleasure trip and emergency services cancellations must be made, you may have great difficulty getting back. For some time we have been urging people not to travel except on essential business. We haven’t enjoyed doing so for many years we have been trying to promote travel, it “goes against the grain” to suggest that people stay off trains. The very fact that we have issued these appeals she Thursday, July 20, 1944 GUESTS AT PARENTS HOME HERE Mrs. David Nari and two children, Jimmy and Janet, are here visiting with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.

All of the telephone people who work at the camps know what it means to a service man to be able to call home. They don't mind working hard to get those Long Distance calls through.

BACK THE ATTACK—BUY MORE THAN BEFORE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY 217 North Lemon — Telephone 2101 NEW BLOW AT RAIL TRAVEL ODT Broadens Roads' Rights To Cancel Reservations WASHINGTON, June 23.—(AP) The Office of Defense Transportation (ODT) today broadened the cancellation powers of the Nation's railroads in a move designed to help the carriers in their plans for handling military casualties. The new ODT action provides for cancellation of reservations, space for assignments or tickets, and permits the railroads to require passengers to vacate space and accommodations when necessary to provide room for disabled military, naval and Merchant Marine personnel. In addition, the railroads are required, when necessary, to divert transportation facilities or cancel or discontinue passenger train service and to refuse permission to passengers, other than invalid troops and their attendants, to board passenger trains. the newspapers, the Office of given the railroads authority than passengers at any time, to men. able planning trips not essential air plans so that more room will be it unnecessary to take these take care of these wounded men and we believe they come first roads would dislike very much last minute, or to make people space. started, and how great the toll nows. We have our wounded And more and more cars must restricted amount of equipment requirements are met. If you start a trip you will be you must face that fact. If you're trip and emergency space you may have great difficulty indicate the seriousness of the travel situation. And the new ODT order emphasizes this still more. Why don't we provide more cars, more trains? Virtually no new cars can be built during war time. Materials are scarce, and car builders have been making guns and tanks and other war equipment. With the biggest army and navy in our history, about 63% of all Pullman sleeping cars have to be used exclusively for military service. Travel by men in uniform on furlough, or traveling on orders, plus the greatly increased volume of business travel due to the war production effort, taxes the capacity of the remaining equipment used in regular passenger train service. There are no more passenger cars available. We must get along with what we have. We have now reached the point where there just isn't room on our trains for people who don't have to travel. People planning a vacation or other non-essential trip may think "There's always room for one more." Well, there isn't. If you are planning a train trip not essential to the war effort, we strongly advise you to change your plans, now. S·P The friendly Southern Pacific
