Not So Bad Hereabouts In Car Boom
The text notes a local car boom benefiting the immediate area as coal shippers face fewer disruptions. The Lackawanna keeps cars for smaller orders, aiding supply while Delaware and Hudson refuses long detention orders. Customers who abused delays faced reform promises, with car dumping to speed shipment. Delaware and Hudson appoints car tracer M. Vernoy to monitor sales.

Most Improved Breakers in the Anthracite Coal Regions
In the anthracite coal regions, the report highlights the most improved breakers showing notable gains in efficiency and output. Key operators and mines are named, with a focus on the shifts in processing practices and the impact on regional productivity.
Record coal shipments and rail developments dominate regional news
Last Saturday saw a regional record of 27 500 tons of coal shipped over the Lackawanna. Erie Railroad bought 16 000 lanterns to light and decorate its Jersey City and Weehawken piers in honor of Admiral Dewer. Sayre touts its new Lehigh Valley blacksmith shop as unmatched. A. Tenbrooke becomes division freight agent for the Lackawanna main line on Oct 1 after arriving from the Wabash and Lackawanna Dispatch. A new large breaker at Williamstown by Pennsylvania Coal will employ 200 more miners and handle 2 000 tons daily. White Mills gains electric lighting with Hawley Electric Light, feeding from Hawley via a five mile line. If traffic grows as in the last 30 days, a car famine may hit railroads nationwide, with earnings rising. Railroads report a 100 000 car deficit despite adding 100 000 new cars, improving capacity but leaving relative shortages high.
