STREET CAR CONDUCTORS
They Worh Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.

You often think it's hard for the pas
senger conductor of an accommodation
train which stops at two or three sta
lions to the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not. The conduct
or Of a short run accommodation train
especially must be a peculiarly gifted
man. He must be at once both cool
headed and even tempered, or if not he
Is a total failure.
But if the requisites Of a railroad
conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements Of the man who runs a com
mon street car: Why, as much as those
Of the railroad man and several times
more. The railroad accommodation con-
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor on
a trolley car of Il Of our cities.
Both men, Of course, nave thousands
Of cares. The railroad man has a certain
number Of stops to make and a certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
mis- run Of the railroad. The street car
conductor has an uncertain number OF
stops to make, yet he still has his Ger
tain scheduled time to make on his rum,
and he must make it, too, or be able to
give an IA No. l" excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest mai on his train. Is ever the
street car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
a1cCS Th1ro thinuc Vnato II hard for tho
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
which he works and spurred on by a
dozen or so sharp eyed "spotters, or
~"street car detectives" as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as a spring
morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly so. The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase Of
existence once in a decade, or If so not
any oftener.
No One presumes to expect SO much
from the knight of the ticket punch as
he does from the knight of the trolley
rope. Every Il who travels on street
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street on his line and just
where it strikes hat street, and, in
deed, he should know this much, but in
addition he is expected to know every
one who lives on the streets along
which his line runs, every one who
lives on all the countless streets which
cross the route of his car and then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit-
ants the whole length Of his line. The
street car conductor is expected to be
porter as we'll on his cal. He must help
people on and off, lift up and lift
down huge baskets and bundles, never
get tired of all the questions which
only the city directory could answer,
and then, in addition. keep all Of the
strict rules Of the company for which
he works and see to it that all of his
passengers do so too. For this work he
gets 81 or 81. 25 a day, while the rail.
road conductor, who is a very king in
comparison, draws his S. or IS per day.
or 4l25 q month, and is not classed as
a ~''social suspect" either. -P;t.c.c.s
