The Tramp Problem.
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
The tramp question Is a more serious one
than the public generally is aware of. At
a conference on this subject held in this
city yesterday it developed that about 14.OOO
tramps rode free last year from Newark to
Philadelphia. They conceal themselves on
freight trains and then jump on just be-
fore the trains reach the freight yard. On
the western division of the Pennsylvania
lines AGA tramps were injured and 1869
killed while stealing rides in the last ten
years.
ALI through railroad lines are infested
with tramps A few of them would work If
good opportunity were offered, but the vast
majority are professionals. while a good
many are criminals. 1t Is a difficult prob
lem to solve. There was no need of any
man tramping for work in the last year.
providing he could reach the places where
there was a demand for labor. But that Is
not In many cases possible.
Kansas and other states were greatly in
need of men in the harvesting season. Some
college men went from the east, but when
they had paid their expenses out and Sc
cured their return tickets 1t took up about
all they earned. But the ordinary laborer
cannot pay any fare. and that leads many
to steal rides on freight cars The great
majority OF these tramps are deserving OF
punishment. Magistrates hesitate because
they cannot always tell the unfortunate
ones from those who have no excuse. It is
growing problem which needs more radi-
cal measures to redress.
