CHICAGO TACKLES CAR PROBLEM
Crusade Against overorowding Being
Directed by Police
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.--A record of 1872
persons killed and 2271 others injured
on the surface and elevated traction
lines of Chicago since January l last
gives impetus to the crusade against
the overCrowding of cars which was
begun by the officials of the city.
The police, mounted and unmounted,
will assume q measure of control over
the operation of traction lines. Grant
ing the expected permission" from the
corporation counsel the force under
Chief Collins will undertake the task
of preventing the overcrowding of all
IL trains and the blockading of sur
face cars within the loop.
1t is planned to place uniformed
policemen on every station of the loop.
Just how many passengers will be per-
mitted on each car has not been de-
cided, but the suggestion was made
that not more than one and half
times the seating capacity of each car
should be considered as safe. Every
car on the loop during the rush hour
has far overlapped the safe" limit
under this stipulation. The average
seating capacity of the cars used in
the elevated trains is fifty-six. The
count of the passengers on board the
tween 125 and 1876. while some cars,
with their overcrowded platforms, car
ried as many as $50 and 160.
1t is planned to divide the police
forces for the supervision of surface
and elevated car traffic into two
s1uads-the mounted police to prevent
teamsters from blockading surface cars
and parroimen TO prevent the over
crowding of IL" trains.
