NEW COATS FoR OLD ONES.
The Metropolitan Conductors Don't
Want to buy New Ones.

The Metropolitan Conductors Don't
Want to Buy New Ones.
The 800 conductors of the Metropolitan
street railway line have been holding
peculiar meeting all day to consider the
subject Of coats. They have been a good
deal disturbed by the order of Mr.. Phillips.
the president of the road, requiring the
men to procure new coats, which, it was
prescribed. must be single-breasted. blue
in color and have big gold buttons. The
order also indicated that the coats must
be obtained Of certain firm. the railroad
company having negotiated with that firm
for the number necessary to uniform the
Metropolitan conductors, and the firm hav-
ing agreed to furnish them at q uniform
price of S11.
The objection the men make to this pur-
chase of new uniforms is that last summer
they bought nice new blue coats, all sup
Piled with bright, shining gold buttons.
and they have taken good care Of them.
so that they are still in good order and
look decently fit to wear. These coats are
double breasted, and they are willing to
wear them as part Of summer uniform.
Of course they say they expect to buy
new trousers. for that part of the uniform
Will not endure wear as well as the coats.
The order at present includes only the F
street line. but the 9th street men say they
Will be asked to dress UP when the new
motive power goes into use.
The men sent word to the firm of cloth
iers of the precise facts connected with
the order. and told the firm that It was
considered hardship to be compelled TO-
buy new coats and cast aside good ones
which they would have no chance to wear
out. The firm, 1t is said. at once went to
see Mr.. Phillips and cancelled the contract,
saying that they could not afford to be
party to an arrangement which would
work such manifest hardship to the men.
This the men accept as a great kindness,
and they are enthusiastic about it.
The business today was the adoption Of
resolutions explaining the distress that
would be caused by the enforcement CT the
order. and the selection of a committee to
ask Mr.. Phillips to withdraw it. The meet
Ing will not close until O'Clock tonight.
The men talk very temperately about the
matter. and say there is no danger the
| subject will develop into a strike or pro-
duce any friction.

VICTORS AND SPOILS.

New Members of tho Recently ReorSanIz@d
 COmmissiOn--OrlG and Growth of the
 Civil Service Reform Movement In the

 The present United States civil serv- ice law and the civil service commits sion intrusted with its execution are the creatures of the movement which was seriously begun in the United States ill 1871 against the doctrine that ito the (politicaD victors belong the spells" (of office).
 To tho late George William Curtis, probably, most credit for this law is properly due He started tho move ment at least 80 years ago, In 1871 President Grant appointed commission CTS to draw mp rules for the regulation Of ti.e civil service, but the views set forth hy tho commission wore not in ac- cord with these of the president, and nothing of any consequence came of its deliberations.
 Ill 1876 civil service lGaEue was formed in tLe state of New York, but it languishCd until 1880, when it was re- organized, and Mir. Curtis was made its president. In August, 1881, this league was superseded by the National Civil Service Reform league. which was or canizCd at Newport. R. l., with Mir, Curtis as president.
