HUMAN BLOODHOUJNDS
FEAST ON THEIR PREY
H|HE-HOUR DAY
IN EFFECT NOW.
Street Car Men Went to Work
This Morning Under New
System of Pay.

The entire working system of the Pas
senger and Power Street Railway Com
pany is changed to-day.
The new regime under which the mo-
tormen. and conductors have a Anei'
hour day, and are paid py the hour in
stead of by the day, went into effect when
the first car left the sheds this morn
ing. The men work under new conditions,
and what is more new men will so to
work Il will probably take thirty or
forty more men. regularly employed. to-
gether with extras and reserves to operate
the cars with a nine-hour day. than with
a tweve-hour day.
President Sitterding said last night that
the number of new men put on would
probably reach fifty. and that he could
get a thousand if he needed them. The
additional men will be drawn as far as
possible from the extras and reserves
Extra men who have not hitherto had a
regular car, and have been working only
when they can. will get regular runs.
All the change will be felt on the lines
formerly owned by the Richmond Pas
senger and Power Company, and none Of
the lines owned formerly by the Traction
Company. The Traction Company year
or more ago cSia bllShed the nlne-noEr
day. So no change Will be necessary
on the lines of that division. Specifically.
the lines affected are the Main Street,
the Clay Street and Church Hill. the For
ert Hill and Hull Street branches. the
Chestnut Hill and Barton Heights
branches. the Seven Pines branch. the
Laurel Street and the River View branch.
One other change will go into effect,
also. to-day, but that has nothing TO do
with the change of length of day. The
authorities of the city have notified the
company that the franchise of the branch
which runs to Hollywood via Laurel Street
coming down Broad does not warrant
the cars going further down Main than
Ninth. They have been going 10 Twen-
ty-eGhth Street, and recently only to
Eighteenth Street They will now turn
the corner of Ninth and loop it back up
Broad.
General Mana ger Huff has mapped out
all the needed changes, and this morning
the new arrangements will work as
smoothly as if nothing had occurred. and
the men had never worked but kSId
hours.

asking that the entire case be taken OUT

jury from another county. EIe took this
action because he felt in all Amherst
