nation, but one of the motormen explain
cd to reporter for the Eagle. lie said
the 900 on North Topeka avenue and the
Friends university people didn't spit on
the floors Of The ears and that was why
the company gave them the best cars.
Now" he continued we could not pat
fine cars on the stockyards and South
Main street lines, because the boys ar
the packing house get into them with
their greasy clothes. and men from the
stockyards do not keep their shoes Ter5
clean. The second best cars viii De put
or the Riverside and College HM lines
They can take pretty good care of the
