quently gotten out when riding in other
cars to assist in starting cars which. hav-
ing stopped on the road, would naturally
have blocked traffic had the help of these
men not been given. This they feel as
their duty long as the company shows
their proper recognition, and they will
continue to do all in their power for the
advancement of the roads interest, but
there are rights which must be granted in
the premises. The increase in wages asked
by these men will, if granted, add an ad-
ditional $50 to the daily expenses of the
road. This is too small sum for a cor
poration to quibble over, especially when
so necessary a part of their employees well
fare.
There is great reason for discomfort in
these petty grievances, which could be
remeded without loss to the company, and
which, if allowed would work incalcula-
bic benefit to the men. AS a result the
company would naturally get better SER
vice, have a more CHEEKY set Of men, and
give that satisfaction which the men do
not possess under the present management
Let us hope that these changes will be
speedily made, and the men will accord
ingly show their due appreciation for priv
ileges which they deserve. JUSTICE

Some Especially Applicable to Those
on Georgetown and TenIeytown RR,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There exists at present a very strong
feeling of dissatisfaction among the en-
pioyes OF the Georgetown and Tenleytown
Railroad Company owing to the prescribed
rules of the company which work hardshlps
on the men unnecessarily. Taking all
things into consideration the men of the
road are treated far worse than those of
the other roads in the District, and instead
OF helping to make their burdens as easy
as possible there are privileges denied them
which naturally belong to men in such DO
Sitions of life
Their pay is. at best, quite small, and
barely sufficient to enable them to obtain
Il livelihood, especially If they have any
family TO support; nevertheless, each man
must pay his fare on the road, except when
going 10 and coming from his work. 1t
does seem no more than right that these
men SHOULD have more recognition from
their employers, for whose interests they
are toiiing. and who are not Obliged to un-
dergo privations which are imposed upon
those under them. In view of the fact that
these men receive but s1.35 per day. would
IL be asking too much of the company to
allow each man free transportation on the
read, while he is employed as motorman
or conductor, especially should he have on
his uniform at the time of boarding the
car. The company should do one of two
things, either raise the pay of its men SO
as TO enable them to pay fare, or else it
should grant each man a pass.
Again, the men should be allowed suf!i-
cient time in which to eat their lunches,
and should not be compelled to leave the
car. particularly in rainy or disagreeable
weather. A case comes to my knowledge
where man was reported TO the company
for eating his lunch on the car at the end
of the route, and the penalty was d lay-off
for three days Such rules work hardshps
and any thoughtful president superintend-
ent or manager would not indorse such
onerous requirements,
The sum Of cents is also deducted from
each mars daily pay for the time consumed

TIE "sONG OF THE SHIRT

During his last illness Tom Hood in an
idle moment made an imaginative sketch

he wrote. He Sang the Song Of the

And. as he himself had said, Tom Hood

Rev t. Dewitt Talmage, the most
renowned preacher in the world has
been cured by DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy.
Rev Dr. Talmage, undoubtedly the
greatest living divine occupies in the
hearts and minds Of the people a posi-
ton of pre-eminent esteem and re-
gard No other preacher is SO widely
known, no other clergyman is SO dis
tinguished throughout the world. A
great orator and writer, his sermons
have the widest dissemination, until
there is scarcely a family where his
name and works are not known.
When such a man, recognized
leader and teacher of the people, testi-
fies by his written testimonial that DR..
Greenes Neryura blood and nerve
remedy has helped him and that he
recommends its use for invigorating
after over-work, to restore the
strength, energy, nerve force and Vi
tally of the system, when for any
reason they are lost, weakened or i'm
paired, those who are sick and suffer
ing. who are weak, nervous, without
strength energy and ambition, who
are discouraged and disheartened by
repeated failures to be cured, in fact
all who have need Of a strengthening
and health restoring medicine, can
take renewed hope from the words OF
this great preacher, that Dr. Greene $
Nervura is the one remedy among all
others to give them back the health
and strength they have lost.
Rev Dr. Talmage says:
