This coal is brought from Pennsylvania and WesxVirginia, an average distance of about 450 miles. Itsheat content is approximately 14,000 per output of the plants in 1915 was roughly 73,415,-000 and in 1916, 81,363,000 All con-tracts for coal expired on April 1, 1917. It will be noted that the total cost of coal in the yardshas been falling off since the first of the year. This isdue to the fact that contract coal did not come forwardduring the winter In view of the fact that the younger men of the coun-try will shortly be called into military service, the man-agement of the Pennsylvania Railroad has decided tosuspend, temporarily, the regulation covering the agelimit for employment. The rule heretofore in force pro-hibited the hiring of new employees, in any branch ofthe service, above the age of forty-five years. Underthe new rule, which has been adopted to meet war con-ditions, persons between the ages of forty-five andseventy years may be employed during the war and fora period of six months thereafter.
