Spare men on the Suburban see poor
living ahead as a result Of the taking
off Of double headers during the after
moons. Today only two extra cars
were put on regular trips. One to
accommodate the working people in
the morning, and another on the sos
p. m. trip in the afternoon. There are
six sets of spare men. The first three
sets have enough to do taking the place
of regular men who have DAYS off. but
the others depend principally on the
four or Ave hours they get on the
OOuule-HedueTS IOr their income on eV-
cry day except Saturday and Sunday.
1t is said they will be run again soon,
but the men can ill-afford to lose any
money now, just after paying out SIS
to $40 for new suits with collars and
cuffs.
