railways have made arrangement-
comply with the provisions ol the
"nine hour law." Tho t.peittlon of
the law will mean the employment by
raitr wd companies of several thorn-ami
additional operators and the closing of
a large number of small stations on ihe
principal systems. Discontinuing ol
railway service at many points, it it
thoughtwilt induce at least temporary
Inconvenience to traveling and shipping
public in order to reduce operating e
