Railroad Employees to Petition the
Legislature Against Any
Reduction.


Legislature Against Any
Reduction.
A largely attended meeting of delegates
from the different street railroads within
the City was held last night in the car
house, Twenty-ninth and Mission streets.
W. C. Carpenter was appointed chairman
of the meeting and w. c. Cook secre tary.
A petition, which was circulated among
the employees on Friday and was signed
by over 5000, was presented to the meet
ing. 1t would have been signed by all the
employees if there had been time.
The petition reads as follows:
To the Honorob G the Members of the Legisla-
ture-GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned en-
tion within the limits OF the City and County
of San Francisco, respectfully represent as fol-
lows:
That fully 5000 men are at present in the
emf ploy of The various street railroads within
this City and County.
That the wages paid to employees by the con-
trolling corporations are barely sufficient 10
supply the necessities of life under present
conditions. especially to those who have fami-
lies dependent upon them.
That the matter now under consideration by
your honorable bouy, whereby 1t is proposed
to reduce the rate of fares on Streetcars, is
detrimental to the interest and welfare of
every street-rallroad employe, inasmuch as
the passage OF such measure would entail a
corresponding reduction in the scale of wages
paid to employees by the various companies,
and.
Firmly believing that such would be the re.
suit. we therefore humbly petition your hon.
ora bic body to reject this and any such meas
ure that may be presented for your consid-
Grafton.
