trade is conducted, the labor element is
watchful and the lot Of small storekeep-
ers is beset with many difficulties. It
means heavy loss OF trade for any one Of
them to be caught riding on transit

1t is well known that the plan OF fning
union men for permitting members OF their
families to ride On the cars is in full ef-
feet and each offence means s.. As re-
suit, many people in the West End fnd
themselves short Of domestic service and
dOmestics themselves shun the cars. The
strike, therefore. is outwardly under con-
troll so far as the law can keep it So but
il has aroused an antago1istic social force
which manifests itself in many ways and
unfortunately cannot be reached by the
law.
Stories Of outrsges against women caught
riding on the cars are persistentIy eirCu-
lated, but since the first outbreak there
have been few. If any Individual hsrd-
