CAR MEN HAVE GRIEVANCES
Street Railway Employees Demand
Reforms From the Syndicate.
A Shorter WOrkday Asked, COnsecu-
tive Hours of Labor, Vestioules for
Bad Weather, and Abolition of
Rainy Day PulI-Ins and T-ippers.

a meeting of the members of Division
No. 161, of the AmalGamated Association
of Street Railwaymen of America, was
held last night at the Labor Bureau, for
the purpose of agitating a shorter work
day for the employees of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company The
members OF the organization ask that
their hours of labor shall be reduced from
eleven to nine hours each day, which is
the number of hours, it is said, the en-
ployes of the Capital Traction Company
are required to work. The wages. s2 per
day, it is said, is paid by both corpora
tions,
The meeting was attended by street rail
road men employed on the eleven
branches of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company. The meeting was
what is known as an open session" and
was conducted by James z. McCracken,
President of the Railwaymens Union,
with George He'll as secretary.
Besides a reduction in the hours of la
Dor, it was explained that the members
of the union also ask for other reforms
TO which they contend they are justly en-
titled They demand that all motor cars
shall be vestibuled. that "rainy-day pull
ins" shall be stopped and to abolish
"trippers,' or extras. Some time ago
committee from the union called upon
the superintendent of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company. it is said,
and requested that all motor cars be YES
tibuled for the protection OF the motor
men in bad weather. The committee was
informed, so ii is stated, that the COM
pany could not vestibule the cars on all
its branches. but would improve those
which are. run on the Connecticut Ave
Dne tracks. Twenty vestibuled motor
cars are said TO have been ordered for
use on that line
The particular complaint made by the
employees of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company, however, is against
the hours of labor. and the manner in
which the time is divided. 1t is stated
that each motorman and conductor is
compelled to work eleven hours day for
s.. but these hours are not always con-
secutive. sometimes the whole time having
TO be made Up OF two shifts.
From the time the first car leaves the
barn in the morning at o'clock until
the last IS run In after midnight is about
twenty and one-half hours Ii is fur
therSXplained that as all the cars do not
leave the barns at the same time nor re-
turn at the same hour only few men
are employed early and late II is con-
tended that the whole time Of running the
cars could easily be divided into two shifts
of nine hours each, the same as. done by
the Capital Traction Company. Part Of
the runs which are known as Swings
begin at a. m. and end at 10 a. m. The
men who manage these trips are then
laid off until about 2:30 p. m, when they

She Alleges Her Husband Has
Threatened Her Life.

In petition for divorce filed yesterday

Samuel II. Wells, often told her that he
wished she would die and that if she did
not he would soon make her die. She
further states that he told her of having

see why she did not commit suicide
Often while she has been lying in bed her
husband thinking she was asleep, Mrs
Wells states, would stand over her with
a knife or razor in his hand. On one oc-
casion she declares her husband threw
into her face n cupful of hot coffee. Once
in his efforts 10 take $50 from her
Mrs Wells states that her husband
dragged her up flight of stairs, and in
so doing dislocated her shoulder
The parties were married in this city in
April, 1898. and lived together until March,
1891. when. because of her husbands al
legged cruel treatment, Mrs. Wells de-
clares. she was compelled to leave him
She asks for divorce on the grounds of
cruelty and non-support. r. S. Smith is
named as counsel for the petitioner.

TEGELER SUBMITS AT LAST.
He Gives Up the Attempt to Secure .
Habens Corpus.

Robert G. Tegeler a coal passer in the
United States Navy, yesterday decided
that he would abide by the decision of
recent court-martial and go TO Norfolk
where he will serve out the remainder of
the sentence imposed upon him. Tegeler
brought into the courts the question of
whether officer of State naval militia
has the right to command sailor of the
regular navy. AT the court-martial, from
the decision of which he appealed, he was
sentenced to three months imprisonment
and forfeiture of pay. He has since been
trying to obtain writ of habeas corpus,
but yesterday abandoned the attempt. He
will serve out the remainder of mis- SEN
tence on the prison ship Switzerland at
Norfolk.
Tegeler was arraigned some months
ago on the charge of insubordination. at
the request of Lieutenant Commander
Sherbourne G. Hopkins, of the Naval Bat
talon, District of Columbia National
Guard. Tegeler was then shipkeeper on
the Oneida. vessel loaned to the District

The members of the union also ask that
the system of tripping" be abolished
Men who run trips are required to report
at the barns ten minutes before the time
scheduled for the departure of the first
car in the morning. If none Of the regu-
lar carmen are sick or absent for other
cause. the ''tripper" does not get an op-
portunity to make a trip. Notwithstand
ing this. however. it is said the ''tripper''
must remain at the barn until 4:3e p. m.
without pay.
The rainy day pull-ins' are another
source of annoyance, the union m.1 con-
tend BY this term is meant when the
weather is bad, raining or threatening to
rain. and the management cf the street
railways believes that there will be but
little travel, several of the regular cars
are stopped. In such cases the motormen
and conductors who are endeavoring to
earn S2 per day. are compelled to stop
work and be paid at the rate of IS cents
for each trip they have made.
The meeting was addressed by J. L.
Rodier and H. G. Brooke of Columbia
