Chicago, Oct, It. The transcontinen
tal railroads are preparing to announce
their winter schsdule, and a general
lengthening out of the time of west
bourgl Trains Is proposed. It Is likely
all Pacific coast trains will consume at
least sue end one half hours additional
time In making the journey. An effort
was made to lengthen out the schedule
east bound, but It waa found Impossible
to do so because of the fact that an
connections would be missed.
The desire on the part of the rail
roads to make the cross-country Jour
ney longer Is due to the fact that it has
proved almost Impossible to get trains
over the road on the old schedules. The
condition is worse this year because of
the freight congestion, which ts becom

phenomenal in railroad history.
