HIS OWN SUBSTITUTE.
TroIleymans Answers a New
: York Advertisement and
Finds He Will Be Sent
to Jersey.

A good little story is told of one of the
local trolleymen, who, having little
time off yesterday, went to New York
to respond to a want advertisement in
one of the New York papers. The adj
vertisement called for trolley men and
offered good inducements. Fearing that
a prolonged strike of the trolley men in
the service of the Public Service Cor
poration might cause him and his family
some distress, he decided to at least in
yestigate the advertisement, in the hope
that he might secure job in the West
or some other part of the country. So
he hied himself to the New York address
given in the advertisement, and there he
found several hundred men, many having
already applied and been accepted, and
others falling over one another in efforts
to make application. Finally his turn
came. He is Hibernian with rich
brogue.
"An' phat will OF have to do to get
tn job ~ he asked.
\ Simply sign your name and give your
address," he wa told.
"An' phat are the wages you'll be
givin' me?' he queried.
He was told that he would receive
1925 for ten-hour days work
"An' where am Of to be sint?, he
further inquired.
"Over in Jersey" was the reply.
Simply put your name and address down,
report twice a day, and your wages be-
gin Immediately.
"Oh, oi see," said the Hibernian appli-
cant for the job. We'll, OF have friend
outside; you'll try and persuade him also
to make application
Then he went outside and reasoned
with himself thusly:
''Begorra, Pat, what a blamed fool
yez are to be after trying to take your
own job"

NO STRIKE CALLED AS YET
1t Is Said the Halloting in
This City Was Against a

NO STRIKE CALLED AS YET

Fearing strike as the result of last
nights deliberations of the trolley men
the local police made ample arrangements
to preserve the peace and protect life and
the property of the corporation and to
fully protect those who might take the
places of the strikers. The entire police
force was practically on duty, half of
them sleeping on their arms, as it were.
AT ten o'clock the seven police captains
received orders from headquarters to re-
main in their respective stations. When
the midnight platoons came off duty and
reported they were all sent up to the
domitories of the station houses to sleep
there, instead of going home. This means
that while all the posts In the city were
being properly patrolled there were one
hundred and twenty patrolmen, fourteen
sergeants and seven captains in reserve
and ready to instantly respond to any
emergency call.
Had strike been ordered these ar
rangements would have been put into eff

found at the Montgomery street barn on
