TRICKS OF CAR CONDUCTORS.
How They are Combined Against by
Drivers and Other Conductors.
From the Baltimore Herald.


'.Seethat suu-of-a-gun what he's up to ~
said conductor on street car yesterday
10 a reporter.
"Whichy" queried the latter, starting
around indefinitely.
"Why, that conductor that's running
the car ahead of u.s."
WHATS the matter with him? He only
seems TO be a little behind time"
That's what's the trouble" responded
he conductor Indignantly. "He's trying
to break me up, for he's got a grudge
against me. We're required to run Just
now four minutes apart, or, "a we say,
we're on tour minute time. That gives
US an equal share Of the passengers. Now
aacn IL fellow drags he gets on the time
Ofthe man behind him aud picks up fares,
which, bv right, belong to another At
the end Of the day the total receipts are
added up, and an average made for each
car by dividing the total by the number
of cars running. II conductor falls
much below the average there must be
something wrong. II he's dishonest, per-
maps be has been knocking down fares.
Another explanation is That ne has been
running up 'on the time Of the car aaead.
ae may also fall below the average, as
will this trip, by the cussedness Of the
conductor IN front"
'The driver Of your own car can put up
the same job on you. can't heP
"Of COURSE" was the reply. "I've
known many a conductor to lose his job
By getting out with the driver. We con-
ductors are to a certain extent in the
hands of our drivers and it's always wise
TO make sure that we shall be in the hands
Of our friends, As Mr.. Neazey SAYS be Is.
In other oities-fOr | won't say that any
thing Of The kind goes on herein other
cities, If a conductor don't dizzy with his
driver IN what the latter expects HIM 10
knock down daily be had better hunt
another job; he can never remain c0nduc-
tor on that car. TIE driver will allow the
car 10 drag back on the car behind. The
conductor OF the car behind naturally
ktcks and reports the fact 10 the Office.
The driver who did not receive his per-
centage OF offerings backs up 10 other
conductor, and of goes the head OF the
honest man. Even In Baltimore the
same trick Is played by drivers when they
want 10 get rid OF "a conductor who IL not
congeniai. A conductors life is not q
happy one"
