Southern Pacific is facing a critical situation in connection with holiday
travel. Many thousands of men in uniform are being given holiday fur*
loughs. We think everyone agrees that these men should be given first
consideration. We intend to carry them wherever they wish to go.
Where men in uniform are not going on furlough they will be visited, in
many cases, by their parents or wives. Their travel requirements must
be recognized, too.
fjuil.
The tide of war traffic — troops, equipment, supplies and war materials
— is mounting higher and higher, and we are hard pressed to supply
the equipment to move it. Every locomotive we have or can rent is being
used. The supply of passenger-carrying cars left for civilian use is
naturally reduced.
Consequently, we will not be able to carry all the people who want to
make holiday trips, despite all our efforts to increase the passenger­
carrying capacity of our trains.
This is why we ask you not to travel during the holiday season.
