The Philadelphia syndicate that has alb
sorbed all the street-car lines in the Western
metropolis, has issued an orderthat hereafter
all conductors must wear white shirts
" boiled, !" starched and Numbered linen.
No wonder that this tyrannical p%aternalism
has caused a commotion among the fare
takers. Chicago has advanced somewhat be-
yond the point where a billed shirt is con-
sidered an evidence of effeminacy and stuck
up-edness. But that car conductors should
be compelled to emulate the style of dudes
and dry-goods clerks is the hardest blow they
have yet received from the monopoly.
